I will spend my weekend in Port Dickson and I have already booked my plane ticket to Kuala Lumpur. However I'm still wonder how to go to Port Dickson from the airport.

Here are my questions :

1) It seems I can take a taxi from the Airport. Is there any preffered taxi (like in Indonesia, we have Blue Bird Group Taxi, which is safer than other kind of taxi)

2) How much is the taxi fare roughly?

3) Any safety tips and tricks for choosing taxi in Malaysia?

I'm not sure why you pick Port Dickson, it's not really a favourable travel destination any more afaik.

About the taxi, you should be able to get it from the airport. go to the official taxi counter and buy the taxi voucher from there only (not from anywhere or anyone else), this should be the safest way. The fare should be less than RM 150 (estimation based on the distance. it was RM 70 in 2008 according to this)

If you are in the town area (not in the airport), my personal preferred taxi operator will be Sunlight, but any taxi should do if you are still in KL area. Just remember to demand the driver to use meter, unless there is a ticket counter.

So, wish you a safe and pleasant trip.

Port Dickson is cool - lots of abandoned hotels and the army museum! Also in the evenings, there is a neat mexican restaurant that operates close to the town center.

Just get the taxi/limo from the airport. No ride-sharing or alternate taxis can pick up from the airport (but they can drop off). The rates are all per-established. Basically, you don't have a choice, get a taxi booked from the official counter. But the experience is safe, well organized and the drivers (in my experience) are pros.

But the road between PD and KLIA always seems to be jammed. Just keep that in mind (add an extra 15 mins).
