Taxis drivers can be good and bad. It’s usually best to go by meter but some won’t turn them on unless you convince them otherwise. A short ride within the city centre of KL shouldn’t cost you more than RM10. When you arrive at KLIA make sure you go to the official taxi counter to prevent being ripped off. Same applies to the KL Sentral railway station.
