Ignore people offering unofficial 'taxi' or 'private car' inside the arrivals hall; only buy a coupon at the official Airport Limo counter or use a licensed ride-hailing app.
Taxi drivers may claim the meter is broken; at KUL always get a fixed coupon for a long trip to Subang Airport, or use Grab with upfront price.
Confirm whether the KL Sentral to SZB taxi fare includes tolls before departing, as drivers sometimes add them at the end.
