- 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.
- Do not buy KLIA Ekspres tickets from resellers near the platform; buy at machines, counters, or the official kliaekspres.com website/app.
