Traveling from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to the bustling heart of Kuala Lumpur can feel daunting, especially after a long flight. That’s where this airport transfer service from RIYAS TRAVEL BLOG steps in. While we haven’t personally taken this exact ride, reviews and detailed descriptions paint a clear picture of what you can expect — and it looks promising.
What we love about this transfer? First, the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle makes those jet lagged legs feel a lot better. Second, the professional, English-speaking driver adds reassurance, especially for first-time visitors. Third, the affordable price point of $21 per person makes it a great value, particularly considering the convenience.
A potential consideration is that pick-up times are limited between 11 pm and 6 am, with a 50% surcharge during these hours. That could be a deal-breaker if your flight arrives late or early but isn’t willing to pay extra. This service suits those seeking a hassle-free, budget-friendly connection between the airport and city hotels — ideal for travelers who appreciate straightforward logistics and reliable transportation.

What to Expect from This Kuala Lumpur Airport Transfer

Whether you’re arriving in Kuala Lumpur after a long flight or just need an easy way to get into the city, this transfer service offers a straightforward solution. The booking process asks for your flight details, including flight name, number, and arrival time, which helps ensure punctual pickup. Once your flight lands, you’ll be met at KLIA by a driver who’s fluent in English and ready to assist with luggage and directions.
The vehicle is air-conditioned, making it ideal for Malaysia’s warm climate, and it’s exclusive to your group — no sharing with strangers. The journey takes roughly 40 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic, and drops you directly at your hotel in Kuala Lumpur. This convenience is a huge plus, especially if you’re tired or pressed for time.
The service operates 24/7, but remember the surcharge applies for pickups between 11 pm and 6 am — expect to pay 50% more if your flight arrives during those hours. The driver will handle all taxes and fees, so what you pay upfront is what you owe, with no surprises.

From reviews, the vehicle quality appears to be both comfortable and well-maintained. One traveler praised the service as “the best taxi service,” and another appreciated the responsiveness when they booked a day early and needed a different driver. This highlights the flexibility and customer-focused approach of RIYAS TRAVEL BLOG.
The drivers are described as professional and friendly, with at least one reviewer specifically mentioning “Norman,” who went above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. That personal touch can make a big difference after a long flight or during a late-night arrival.
The Booking Process and Additional Details

Booking is straightforward through the provided platform. You’ll need to supply your flight details — airline, flight number, and arrival time — so the driver can track your landing and be ready. The company encourages providing a contact number with the country code, which helps in case there are any delays or changes.
Since the tour is private, only your group participates, adding a layer of exclusivity and comfort. If your flight lands outside regular hours, remember that the surcharge applies, and you’ll pay this directly to the driver upon drop-off.
Pricing and Value

At $21 per person, this transfer service is highly competitive, especially considering it includes all taxes and fees. For travelers arriving late at night or early in the morning, the added 50% surcharge is reasonable, given the convenience and peace of mind it offers.
Compared to taxis or ride-hailing apps, this service offers a more predictable fare and a guaranteed vehicle, which is often worth the small extra cost. Plus, the private nature of the transfer ensures a smoother, less stressful experience — no waiting around for a cab or negotiating prices.
