Kuching Airport Taxi Scams
Taxis are somewhat expensive in Kuching. Although Kuching taxis are metered, the drivers seldom use the meter and normally they will charge you any fare they like. Confirm your destination and the price before stepping into the taxi.
Some cabs will tell you that there are no budget cabs available to try to convince you to take a premium taxi. Occasionally this is true, especially near midnight when the tariff jumps and cabs won't take jobs for half an hour or so before midnight.
Here are some Malaysian taxi scams to be aware of while in the city:
- Driver refuses to take you where you want (tip: don't tell the driver your destination before you get in the car)
- Driver refuses to turn the meter on and quotes a rate, usually high
- Driver refuses to make change (expect this, and carry small bills)
