How much would cost ride from KLIA to Kuantan?
My flight is landing to KLIA 21.15 and Im thinking about to take Grab or some other ride straight from airport to Kuantan Hyatt Regency. Gmaps shows 3h 43m and 321km. I would like to know how much that ride would about cost with Grab, taxi or some other ride service? And how easy it is to get that long ride on that time of day? And what is best option to use?
And I know that busses are cheap and clean, but I don't want to take that kind of hassle on that time of evening after long flights. Or is there some busses operating straight from airport to Kuantan?
My second option is to be one night in KL then make that bus trip next day to Kuantan.
Oh and I'm travelling with wife and two kids(teens).

I am not sure that with Grab you can get such a long distance ride. To compare, ride from Johor to Malacca I was quoted RM300 one way, not included tolls and gas. From Singapore to Malacca I was quoted SGD $185 one way, again without toll and gas charges. So it might end up several hundred dollars.
Renting a car and do self-drive is an obvious alternative. But why not check flight options? AirAsia shows that one way is like RM60-90 range - that’s the same price as bus. Well, without luggage and flight is once per day. Malaysia Airlines flies three times per day.

I wrote a long review of HR Kuantan, including some info on the bus. I'd avoid the bus at all cost. Why not fly?
