Taxi Fares Around Kota Kinabalu
Taxi Fares quoted are one way from Kota Kinabalu to the destination. If you have to take a cab, you can also ask for their handphone number, so you can call them for a pick-up when you are done.
The Taxis or Cabs in Kota Kinabalu city are normally painted red and white. Although there are some that adopt different color schemes, such as Visit Malaysia. The ones I have seen are either Yellow or White. Note that Limo Taxis from the airport are different from city taxi, the limos are painted white and they only take fares from Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA). You have pay the fare at the counter at the airport, collect your coupon and take your taxi. The fares are standardized, and most taxi drivers speak English.

There are taxis that service these routes exclusively, and there are also buses and coaches. The above rates are only for KK city taxis that have to go out of the city. Also note that there is an additional surcharge of 50% for fares from 12am midnight to 6am.

I think taxi fares in KK are ridiculously expensive. Any destination within the city centre would cost rm10. A little bit outside would be rm20. I had actually queried about it once to a cabbie, complaining how taxi rides in KK are far more expensive that it is in KL, and he said ‘taxis in KL can get a lot of passengers in one day while we might don’t get a single (passenger) in one whole day here’. To that I asked back, ‘how do you expect people to take a taxi if they can’t even afford to pay for the high fares that you charge them?’. I mean, seriously.

Dollar for dollar, or ringgit for ringgit, things tend to cost more in KK than in KL. Lack of economics of scale for one, and the import of most goods into Sabah makes for higher prices.

So you don’t have taxi meters there in KK? Or are the charges you posted are only applicable if you’re coming from the KKIA? But buses aren’t that complicated, right?

Hi Tala,
The fares are from the city centre to those destinations. To my knowledge, there are no metered taxis in Sabah. Even in Kuala Lumpur, meters are hardly used. We just settle on a price before we get on the cab.
As for airport taxis, the prices are fixed and you pay at the kiosk, they give you a ticket and you just get on a taxi.
