ABOUT TAXIS IN KUALA LUMPUR
============================
All KL Taxis are required by law to use the meter all the time. The flag-off rate is RM3.00 & RM0.20 is charged for every subsequent 150 metres. Between midninght & 6.00am, a 50% additional surcharge is added. 3rd & 4th passengers is an additional RM0.20 & RM0.40. Big luggage carries additional minimal charges e.g RM1.00 per bag.
If the driver refuses to use the meter, get the next one that does. Take down details (car plate no., driver's name, time & date of incident) of the taxi should you choose to lodge a complaint with the authorities. We will assist you in lodging the complaint.
If you really have to take a taxi without a meter, below is a rough guide on the charges :-
Sample Taxi Fares (please add extra 50% for the midnight surcharge, 12mn-6am) to Hostel Cosmopolitan :-
===================================================================================
1. From Hentian Puduraya Bus Terminal (distance 3km) : RM10.00 to RM15.00
2. From Hentian Putra Bus Terminal (distance 1km) : RM5.00 to RM7.00
3. From KL Sentral Terminal (distance 6km) : buy coupon for RM13.00
4. From Main Terminal - KL Intl Airport - buy coupon for RM70
5. From LCC Terminal - KL Intl Airport - buy coupon for RM75
6. From Subang Intl Airport - buy coupon for RM40
Guests are strongly recommended to use the commuter trains (Monorail, LRTs, KTM Komuter). Operating hours are from 6.00am to 12midnight.
Note :
====
Even if the taxi driver agrees to use the meter, he may take you around & around the city to justify the 'distance'. Therefore, stick to the commuter trains.
We strongly recommend that you print out the local map (photo no.4) to find your way easier. Chances are you will have a difficult time finding us if you rely solely on the address even with the help of a taxi driver. Taxi drivers are also known to try get you to other hostels/hotels where they will get an extra commission from the hostels/hotels.
However, if you decide to take a taxi, ask the driver to take you to the 3-star & 20-storey-high Hotel Brisdale in Chow Kit. We are just 50 meters to the north, on the same road (Jalan Haji Hussein). Just look for a 7-Eleven store on the same road, & we are just next door! Otherwise look for the Chow Kit Monorail (commuter train) station, & we are located in between the Monorail station & Hotel Brisdale.
Hostel Cosmopolitan is located south-east of the Chow Kit Monorail station !!!
