⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore touts in the arrivals hall offering taxis. Always buy a coupon at the official airport taxi counter or use the Grab app.
  • Check that your coupon or fare quote says Terminal Bersepadu Selatan and ask about tolls. Official coupon taxis include tolls.
  • Do not board unlicensed cars. If a driver says the meter is broken, use a fixed-price coupon taxi instead.
  • On ride-hailing apps, never pay cash outside the app and verify the vehicle plate and driver before boarding.
