Taxi in Malaysia-Tips for Traveller

Getting around in Malaysia, for many travellers, means using a taxi (or in Malay, "teksi"). On a taxi troof, there is this sign with the word "bermeter", which means metered taxi.
It is suggested that you avoid taxis refusing to use the meter at all costs, regardless of traffic conditions or inclement weather (which may mean  a heavy tropical downpour, causing flash floods in some low-lying streets).
Always insist on the use of meters.  KL metered fare system is RM3.00 for the first 1 km and subsequent 150 metres is RM0.10.
Should a taxi be called by phone there is a surcharge of RM2.00, and also surcharge of RM1.00 for items placed in the car boot or trunk.  If a cabbie uses an expressway, there'll be toll charges and this is borne by the passenger.
