Taxis and private transfers are the best way to get from Penang Airport to Batu Ferringhi, as they run 24/7 and take less time than public transport to reach your destination.

Useful Tips

While taxis at the airport terminal allow you to reserve a fixed price at the taxi stand, most taxis around the island still work on a haggle basis. Remember this if you decide to take other taxis during your stay.

If you don’t want to use the coupon system, you are free to haggle, but keep in mind most taxis in Penang don’t accept payments by card.

Traffic is very variable, and your expected arrival time can change quite a bit. Be sure to leave enough time for delays.
