Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Normally, they can be flagged down, requested by calling a taxi line, or through the Grab app. It’s recommended to use the Grab app to book a taxi in order to avoid fare negotiation. In the following areas, however, taxis can only be flagged down after purchasing a voucher from a nearby coupon counter:
