What are my transportation options?

Getting to Ngurah Rai - Bali International Airport

A ride pre-arranged through the hotel where you are staying will cost around $17.21 to the Kuta Area. If your hotel is located by the beach where they may not be easily accessible or the roads not very well known, independent drivers may not find it easy and this will make the journey longer and more expensive.

Metered taxi rides are also available and provided by Blue Bird company. However, since they do not have a license to operate inside the airport, you need to go to the outside part of the Arrivals Hall and take the elevator to the third floor where the departures area is. Wait there for a Blue Bird taxi dropping off a customer and hop into the taxi once the passenger has paid. The cost of the ride is calculated according to the distance, starting from $0.50 as a normal rate, then added (from $0.44 to $0.68) per kilometer depending on traffic. If you need a taxi to wait around for you, expect to pay $3 for an hour. Minimum fare if ordered by phone is $3 even for a short distance.

Otherwise, drivers are available outside the airport's arrival hall even though they're not the most suitable choice given their high prices. Negotiation skills are necessary since they will try to charge you $30.98 to Kuta Area when you can bring this price down to $14 to $18 bargaining.

Different types of vehicles can be requested from on-demand apps. Cars can be requested on-demand through Go-Car and Grab. Bear in mind that they are not located at the arrivals hall. You will need to walk to the nearest hotel or petrol station which can be located a few kilometers from the airport. A 7-seater car is available for $2.70 (from the airport to the Kuta area) which could be a good option for those who have extra luggage. Scooter bikes (Vespa-like), where a driver on a scooter comes to pick you up and takes you to your destination, are also available through Grab and Gojek proving a speedy and cheap solution for people traveling light and by themselves from $1.38 to Kuta Area.

Airport public transportation (buses) is possibly the cheapest option available directly from the terminal if you have the time and enjoy the route through the city. Bear in mind the route can be long and take a lot of time. More information can be found on the Economy Options section below.

The Comfort Option, a Pre-booked Professional Driver

From DPS to Denpasar, pre-booked through Mozio, a professional driver with local partner My Transfer will wait for you on the arrivals hall with a sign with your name on it for an hour after your plane's landing, on a private SUV for up to four passengers for $9, on a private van for up to 8 passengers for $13. With local provider BaliCab for up to 12 passengers on a private van for $35.

The Speedy Option, Driven Scooters

Grab and Gojek offer driven scooter bikes for a cheap price starting at $1.50 to Kuta Area. This option for more daring solo passengers traveling light proves fast and cheap at the same time and can be tracked from the app. Two things to bear in mind, not all drivers speak English and almost never is a helmet available for the passenger so it is not an option for everybody given the safety issues involved.

Probably the main advantage of this service is the fact that local motorcycle drivers are knowedgeable about shortcuts to avoid traffic. The cost of a ride must be negotiated with the driver (usually goes for $6 to Kuta). Just walk to the domestic terminal of the airport to meet one. Grab Bike and Gojek are also fastest solutions as they are not affected by traffic jams. On the other hand, users need to be weary of known cons practiced by drivers and previously mentioned on this guide.

The Frugal Option, Public Buses

The airport is accessible by bus provided by Trans Sarbagita. Buses run every 15 minutes from 5am to 9pm for a rate of $0.52 per ticket with a reduced fare of $0.17 for students. The stop can be found on the furthest left corner where the airport taxis park as well on the ground floor at the International Arrival Terminal. These buses have three routes (known to locals as Koridor) and two of them pass through Bali Airport:

• Koridor II: From Batubulan to Nusa Dua stopping at Batubulan, the Airport, and Nusa Dua, and then back.
• Koridor VIII: From Tabanan to the Airport stopping at Terminal Pesiapan Tabanan, Terminal Mengwi, Kapal, Sempidi, Jalan Kargo, Jalan Mahendradata, Jalan Soputan, Imam Bonjol, Sunset Road, Bali Ngurah Rai airport, and back.
