Grab drivers see the destination before deciding to accept (unlike Uber), so it's a lot more reliable at KLIA and they never cancel after accepting. I've given up on Uber at KLIA due to similar experiences - multiple cancellations when the Uber driver realises you're only going to Putrajaya. Sometimes they phone and when you refuse to state the destination as it's against Uber T&C, they just hang up and cancel.

Just curious... Why not take the train? It's even less expensive, much more comfortable, faster and really easy to use. In fact, I've switched to staying at the awesome Majestic because it's one of three hotels that offer a free shuttle to/from Sentral Station. (Majestic, Hilton and I don't remember the other.)

You have to wait up to 30 minutes on a grotty stuffy platform, I think it was 18minutes and 48minutes past the hour last time I was there. And to get a ticket you have to queue behind tourists asking ridiculous questions about KL as a destination because the self-service kiosks is super fussy about which cards it accepts.
