⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official airport taxi queue outside Arrivals; ignore touts offering fixed-price rides inside the terminal.
  • Make sure the driver uses the meter plus the official 15% airport surcharge; highway tolls are added, so the final fare will be higher than the meter alone.
  • Airport taxis and some buses may not accept international credit cards; carry cash or an EasyCard, and ask before boarding.
  • Do not believe anyone claiming the Airport MRT is 24 hours: the last train leaves around 23:30, so after that only Kuo-Kuang 1819 runs all night.
