I was at KL from last Thursday and because I was with my family we had to take the taxi sometimes just because it's much more convenient and that made me realize the failure of our taxi system here in Malaysia and so I found the loopholes that will actually help people like you and me and tourists from other other place to make the best out of the taxis of KL.
1st - Never ever ever ever ever ever ever board the taxi that stops in front of the hotel you're staying in be it a 5 star hotel such as the Renaissance or, a 3 star Hotel Nova to a 2 star Bintang Warisan Hotel. NEVER EVER board from there just go across the street or to a mall and flag a taxi down but read below;
2nd- NEVER EVER board the taxis that are already waiting in front of the KLCC you'll notice the fleet of taxis which is driven by umm...the same color skin people because from another taxi driver, they have modified meters in the car so you'll be pretty much happy when they say they're using the meter instead the fare could go up to 80bucks for a trip that would normally cause 15bucks without the meter but read below also;
3rd- Be vigilant, never take taxis that run on meter during peak hours meaning when it's lunch time, when school finishes, when the school is about to start, when it's after office hours because just being stuck in the jam will raise the meter to a a monstrous amount that you'll probably be shocked
Below will the few normal prices to a few spots in KL
note that all this departs from KLCC
1 Utama - 20 bucks
MidValley Megamall - 20 bucks
KL Sentral - 8 bucks
any higher is acceptable as long as it's in the range of +-2bucks
please note that this is correct at the time of posting, anybody who has taken with a lower fare can kindly post in the comments
Happy Holidaying~!

eddy... frm KLCC, you can take Putra LRT to KL Sentral which only cost you around rm2/person. From KL Sentral, you can change train to KTM..pay rm1 for KTM and you can go to midvalley..
for 1u, it is rather difficult as there is no train to there.. you can take Putra LRT to Taman Bahagia and flag a taxi there... i suppose it's cheaper than you straight take cab =)
rmb this nxt time you go KL =)
you can always ask me
oo cool tip actually we wanted to take the train but my parents got lazy plus the luggage was kinda troublesome so we ended taking the cab. but I didn't know we can use that way to get to 1u
Thanx~
