The dual carriageway will provide shorter travel times between towns. Fares should be negotiated in advance. Shared and normal taxis are a fast means of inter-town travel, but delays may be encountered whilst drivers get their passenger load before moving off. Ask drivers to turn the meter on before starting the journey. Taxi coupons providing fixed prices to specific destinations can be purchased at the Kuala Lumpur railway station and the airport.
Some agencies provide cars on an unlimited-mileage basis.
Cars with driver are also available. An International Driving Permit is required. For UK citizens, a national driving licence is sufficient, but it has to be endorsed by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles in Malaysia. Parking in the centre of Kuala Lumpur and other towns is restricted to spaces for which a charge is made and a receipt is given. Bus fares vary, but the 'Bas Mini' rates are flat.
