Airport Transportation in Kuala Lumpur

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Kuala Lumpur picks you up at KLIA Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 and takes you to the city center, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, the Genting Highlands and Melaka.

Kuala Lumpur Airport Transfers

With Kuala Lumpur airport transfers, your driver waits in the public arrivals hall after customs. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 (formerly klia2) are separate buildings, so tell us which one your airline uses.

We follow your flight, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly. Choose a sedan for one or two travelers or an MPV or van for families and groups, and your Kuala Lumpur airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, condo or office.

Kuala Lumpur Airport Shuttle

Our Kuala Lumpur airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no other passengers and no extra stops. It leaves as soon as you are through customs and has room for suitcases and shopping, which suits families, business teams and groups heading to the city or the Genting Highlands.

Landing at Kuala Lumpur Airport

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), widely known as KLIA, is the main gateway to Kuala Lumpur. It sits in Sepang District, Selangor, south of the city.

The airport has two separate terminals. Terminal 1 handles full-service airlines and has a satellite building for international gates, linked to the main building by the Aerotrain; Terminal 2, formerly klia2, is the base for AirAsia and other low-cost carriers. There is no airside link between them.

At Terminal 1, international arrivals ride the Aerotrain to the main building for immigration. After passport control, collect your bags in the baggage hall and pass customs into the public arrivals area. Malaysia uses Malaysia Time (UTC+8) all year, with no daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

Malaysia Digital Arrival Card. Foreign visitors must submit the MDAC online within three days before arriving. Some nationalities can later use the immigration autogates after enrolling at a manual counter, but the MDAC is still needed for each trip.

Cash declaration. Cash above USD 10,000 equivalent must be declared to customs.

Check your terminal. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are separate buildings with no airside link, so confirm on your ticket whether your airline uses T1 or T2.

Malaysian ringgit. Malaysia's currency is the ringgit (MYR).
