    • The taxi drivers will do anything to rip you off in KL. They will press buttons to increase the fare, take the "scenic" route, try and overcharge, argue, fight and fuss

    At Least Do This: Insist on using the meter. Always keep your eyes on it (sit in the front passenger seat) and have an idea of the route to take.

    If they give you trouble then write down the taxi number and complain to the taxi authority - you have to help stop this - dont just ignore it.
    Alternative: At the airport you can get a fixed price taxi to KL and back. Taxis have a 50% surcharge from midnight to 6am.
