I took a metered taxi to and from Klang.
Hopped onto one at KLIA @ 605pm and got there ~705pm after the taxi driver took a wrong turn and we were stuck down a one way street and had to make a big circle back around the bridge. Would have been there at ~650pm otherwise. But the taxi driver was pleasant and efficient.
I went to Senghuat. Heard it was meant to be one of the better ones?

You wonder why people are running to uber and grab a car now.
Let at 750 so was not worried about miss my flight. But then, I got worried as the driver went to some random gas station to refill his gas! I told him about my flight and he said "no problem i have shortcut". I told him to take the expressway and he said it "will take longer because of jam". So what am I going to do? Kick him out the car?
FWIW I paid a fixed price of RM90 to get to KLIA (from Klang). He didn't want to run the meter and I didn't bother arguing with him because RM90 seemed the right price as it was what I paid from the airport.
I would have taken Grab/Uber, but for my phone battery that died at the most inconvenient time.
Still, I glad I went! Beats sitting around the airport for 3.5hours! Think my risk tolerance is quite high.
