  • Watch what the taxis charge as they try to rip you off. Discuss price before you enter taxi. Ask hotel reception what it should cost before going out.

    Taxi Driver Scams: Dodgy Taxi Drivers

  • While travelling by taxi, be wary of taxi drivers. Most taxi companies require their drivers to use the meter, but unfortunately, many drivers do not abide by this rule. They will often leave their meters off and charge you a higher fare than what is to be expected. Ensure that the meter is running once you step into the taxi.

    Taxi Driver Scams: A good way to get rid of cheats

  • Yes, taxi drivers will want to 'not use the meter'. It just so happens that taxi's are so really really cheap, that it does not make much of a difference. What we did was to always ask BEFORE getting in... 'Use meter?' If they say no, slam the door closed, and look for someone else. Now, when you DO get a meter-using guy, make sure you tip him. We would say: good tips to meters. So, if the meter was 5RM, we'd give a 5RM tip as well. This will encourage these guys to use the meters.

    Taxi Driver Scams: overcharged taxi rates

  • taxi drivers may charge you more than the usual fare specialy if they know you're a tourist. when in KL Sentral, there's a taxi counter where you can get your coupon and charge you a fix rate depending on your destination. the taxi counter is located near the skybus drop off pointon KL Sentral's ground floor. if you're on the 1st floor, take the exit near Mc Donald's, take the escalator/steps down and turn left, you'll see the taxi counter.
