Taxi Services in Malaysia


OK, so you have reached Malaysia, now looking for transportation options around ? Yes, fortunately you have best public transport options like LRT (Light Rail Transit ), Monorail, KTM Komuter, ERL (KLIA Express & KLIA Transit) and RapidKL Bus services in Malaysia, especially in Kuala Lumpur. And we all know that using public transport is the best way to save money during our trips.


Still looking for a “Teksi” (Taxi) service ? Ok, you have lot of taxi services here. You can book a taxi via phone, online or taxi booking application via your mobile phone. Metered fare system (bermeter) in Kuala Lumpur is RM3.00 for the first 1 km and subsequent 150 metres is RM0.10.There will be a surcharge of RM 2.00 if you booking over phone or internet. (And these all will be bit more for executive and luxury taxi’s.) Always avoid taxi drivers who refuse to use meter and asking for “quoted” fare. But don't worry, Malaysian taxi drivers are very friendly and kind to the passengers, I have a lot of good experience.
  • Always note Taxi registration number and driver name if possible.
  • Always find a landmark as boarding point before you book taxi. This will  help taxi driver to reach you easily and avoid calls.
  • Before boarding taxi, make sure driver knows the target location exactly, to avoid extra running to find your target.
  • Check at your hotel or by street maps and should have an idea on average taxi fare to your destination. You may try www.taxiautofare.com for a quick look.
  • Malaysians sometimes say “Dollars” instead “Ringgit”, so always clarify the currency before you pay. May be they meant 10 Malaysian Ringgit and you would pay 10USD :)
