Bali's no. 1 Travel Guide
Bali is still a bit chaotic when you arrive. Even though authorities started to control better the man services and drivers, it can be quite overwhelming and confusing when you exit the airport building. It is as bad as Mexico for example, where it is very stressful to arrange transportation, but it is also not Zurich or Sydney, where it is pretty clear and straightforward, where to get a reliable taxi.
1. Bali Golden Trips Private Airport Shuttle
We Suggest: Comfort & Reliability
Enjoy the comfort of our reliable transport shuttle service, taking you from the BALI airport (DPS) to your accommodation. Stress-free! Since many years we recommend Mr Wayan from Bali Golden Trips (we don’t get a commission. And with our BaliCard you get a 10% discount on airport transfer, car rentals with drivers and tours).
Airport Transfer Prices & Booking
2. Other Options at the Airport
a. There are “airport taxis” which you can grab if you cue at the counter outside the arrival hall. However, they are not very famous for reliable service; mostly they use “sedan type of cars” which are quite small. But they are slightly cheaper than booking a private transfer service.
b. You have the usual private or semi-private guys, who will approach you when you exit the airport building. They can be quite insisting and a bit pushy (not all of them). They should be the same price like the airport taxis, but sometimes, particularly if you arrive for the first time in Bali, they will try to grab the opportunity to make some extra money and quote you a higher price.
c. Transportation Boots. There are also plenty of other services popping up, having counters at the airport or offering services online. It’s too dynamic to keep track on all these services, and assess the reliability and prices. It’s quite messy at times. That’s why we chose to recommend a service like Bali Golden Trips to ensure a smooth arrival.
d. Grab & Gojek (like Uber) do have now offices at the airport. After you exit the building you will see them. You can go into the office and they will arrange a car for you that takes you to your accommodation.
e. You can also check with your hotel, most of them will also provide a pick-up service. Usually it’s not their own car or driver and they will also just hire a driver who is available at the time. Prices are often “marked up Hotel Prices”
