- Tipping your Langkawi taxi driver is not mandatory or expected, although it is greatly appreciated.
- Travellers can also use taxis at hourly rates. Then the cost is (RM 25) per hour for a minimum of four hours, for up to 4 people. Any additional hours also cost (RM 25) per hour.
- There is no price difference for day, night or weekend trips in Langkawi.

Wheelchair-accessible Langkawi taxi
Unfortunately, regular taxis in Langkawi can’t accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids that cannot be stored in the trunk of the vehicle. Therefore, if that’s your desired kind of service, you must pre-arrange a larger vehicle through a private transfer company. When booking your accessible Langkawi taxi service, confirm all details and explain your requirements (ramps, lifts, safety straps etc.) beforehand to ensure a suitable vehicle is available when you need it.
