Upon entering the car, the driver was definitely gruesome. He argue why I didn't take the meter taxi, since my destination is much closer to the city, and as such, he only get a fraction of what other travelers had to pay if they went to the KL city centre.<br /><br />Thanks to the driver and you, now I understand about this metered taxi sceme. Next time, I "ll go to try them.

So bearing this in mind we hired a family van from the airport counter to Genting and when the bill came to RM 560/=+ I was surprised and the counter clerk confirmed that this is the correct charge. On reaching Genting we spoke to a few agents in order to return to KL the following day and the highest quoted was RM 170/=. We ended up paying only RM 150/= anyway for an identical vehicle that we used to get to Genting.<br /><br />Obviously we had been "played out" at KLIA2 but who would expect such a thing from a professional airport counter? <br /><br />I would have gone back to LIA2 taxi counter to question them but unfortunately we had a flight the following day.<br /><br />Whom can we report this to?????<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386799594873379384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197563430820577837.post-68795086165400476402015-08-17T18:00:48.640+08:002015-08-17T18:00:48.640+08:00KLIA taxi counter is always give the unreasonable ...KLIA taxi counter is always give the unreasonable type with high price.

Usually, they ask you how many persons and how many bags you have. <br /><br />As your plane lands 11.45pm, you will most likely exit the customs and baggage area by about 12.15 to 12.30am so it's 50% sucharge for any of the taxis. <br /><br />RM98 is the price before midnight and just add another RM50 for to that. It should be within your budget.

Since our plane land in 11.45PM - I assume the most convenient way is to book an airport transfer to our hotel - the Aarena Star in Hang Lekiu.<br />Browsing around - i found http://taxi-klia.com and they offered me RM98 for the service.<br /><br />But I still am not sure whether this service is legit. Do you have any suggestions since our hotel quoted us RM150 for the transfer, which i think too high.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198180893852277900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9197563430820577837.post-89573139721634651632014-12-08T18:54:55.912+08:002014-12-08T18:54:55.912+08:00Anon - Sorry to hear that.
