I am fine today.
I posted a list of taxi drivers and the fee that they charged about 7 months ago on my blog entry - Day +1183 : Taxi fare to KLCC or KLIA.
It is time for me to update the list now. Introducing to you in this update is a new taxi driver called Ah Loong who is the son of a church member. He charges the cheapest among the drivers if you need to travel midnight; RM70 per trip for traveling between 12:00am and 5:59am.
Highlighted is the cheapest fare
| Driver | Contact/ Booking no. | Day fare (6:00am-11:59pm) | Midnight fare (12:00am- 5.59am) | Note |
| Mr. Yin (Chinese) | 016-3678622 | RM 65.00 | RM 75.00 | Drive very slow, almost 60 minutes to reach LCCT |
| Mr. Ah Loong (Chinese) | 017-6389108 | RM 60.00 | RM 70.00 | No info yet. |
| Mr. Mathaven (Indian) | 016-2525326 | RM 60.00 | RM 80.00 | Very punctual, speed average, 50 minutes to reach LCCT |
| Mr. Yan (Malay) | 019-2041918 | RM 60.00 | RM 80.00 | Can drive very fast |
| Airport Limo (No fix driver) | 03-9223 8080 (8.00 am–12.59 pm) 03-8787 3030 (12.00 am-8.00 am) | RM 56.60 | RM 83.60 | Booking Condition: Need to board the taxi 3 hours before departure. The operator will ask for your departure time, and if you don’t want to reach airport too early, just tell them a fake departure time. |
Many drivers dropped their day fare to RM60, perhaps due to the competition from Airport Limo which charge RM56.60 only.
Mr. Yin used to be the cheapest for midnight travel as he didn’t impose any surcharge but this is not the case anymore as he is now charging RM65 and RM75 for day time and midnight travel respectively.
In addition to the fee, there are other reasons that Mr. Yin is not advised; old taxi and sleepiness. I had the following experience with him when we went for holiday at Lake Kenyir March last year. Quoting from Day +985 : Holiday at Tasik Kenyir (1):
Coming late was not a big issue due to the safety allowance but the problem was that the taxi driver was very sleepy on the way to airport. He even failed to response when I talked to him and this worried me. In order to keep him alert, I kept talking to him to prevent him falling asleep :-(
Please also take note, if you are traveling with Airport Limo, the booking condition requires you to board the taxi 3 hours before departure. Richard offers you a tip (stated in the table above) how to bypass this condition; by telling lies of course :-)
See you next post :-)

in fact you can't get any limo if you don't book at least 5 hours in advance.
You right, Shel. It has to be 5 hours before departure. David
