The airport that you arrive when traveling to Bali is called Ngurah Rai International Airport /Bali. 

The official Name is Bandar Udara I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali.

DPS

• Bandar Udara or Bandara means basically Airport
• I Gusti Ngurah Rai is the name and title of a Balinese hero
• Denpasar is the capital of Bali (but the airport is not located in Denpasar)

You might find websites such as flight booking sites where the name is slightly different or shortened such as Bandara International I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali or Ngurah Rai International Airport.

And even though it’s the international airport, also the domestic terminal is located here.

The official Airport Code for Bali is DPS

The Bali Airport is located in the South West of Bali, near most of the top tourist destinations. It is located exactly between Kuta and Jimbaran.

It is not located in Denpasar (Bali’s capital).

If you want to spend a night near the airport choose Jimbaran (South of the Airport) or Tuban / Kuta (North of the Airport) – not Denpasar even though the name of the airport does suggest the city of Denpasar is close. It is not, and Denpasar is not really a destination worth staying for a tourist.

Sometimes the WifI is a bit “slow” due to many travelers connecting at the same time.

Yes, after you have exited the main airport building (after customs) you will go through a corridor with several banks, money changers and ATM machines. Rates are ok. 

No, there is no public transportation. While other popular tourist destinations and big cities often have metros, trains, public buses connecting the airport with the destinations, visitors to Bali have to rely on private transportation. This is true for the entire island not just the airport. And it can be quite chaotic at the airport when yuo arrive, we therefore strongly suggest you book your airport transfer in advance. 

Reliable Airport transfer / Discounts available

Bali does not have a Car Rental section with all the international providers such as Hertz, Sixt, Alamo etc. This is because it is very uncommon to actually rent a car and drive on your own. It is much more comfortable and common to rent cars on a daily basis with a driver. Prices are very reasonable. 
We do not advise to rent a car unless you are really familiar with driving in a country like Indonesia on a “small island”. Left hand driving, narrow roads, heavy traffic at times, somewhat chaotic style of driving with plenty of motor bikes pushing through every little space that’s available.
