How to call a taxi in Kuala Lumpur for a tourist?

The easiest and safest way to call a taxi in Kuala Lumpur for a tourist is to use the mobile app Grab. This is a local analogue of Uber, which works throughout the city and at the airport. You don't need to negotiate with anyone on the street or explain the route in Malay.

Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Download the Grab app from the App Store or Google Play before your trip.
2. Register using your phone number. You can use a foreign number, but it's better to buy a local SIM card to communicate with the driver.
3. Enter the pickup and destination addresses. The location will be automatically determined by GPS.
4. Choose the type of ride. There is an economical option (Saver) and a standard one (JustGrab).
5. Press "Book". The app will show a fixed price that won't change even if you get stuck in traffic.
6. Pay for the ride in cash to the driver or by card if you have linked it.

You can also hail a taxi on the street in the city center or order one at the airport counter, but these methods are less reliable and often more expensive. We strongly recommend using apps to avoid scams.
