For a short ride in Bali, compare Grab and Gojek. If you’d rather pay by the meter, use MyBluebird. After you land, head to the pickup area for your arrivals terminal.
Getting a taxi from Bali airport
Once you’ve collected your bags, look for International Arrivals or Domestic Arrivals. Grab has a lounge in the pickup zone at both terminals. Gojek has a desk in the International Drop Zone and another in the Domestic Arrival Hall. Choose your terminal in the app and follow the directions it gives you after booking.
If the app won’t accept your number or the code doesn’t come through, ask the staff at the service desk to help you book. There are also taxi counters in arrivals, or you can book a transfer ahead of time. Compare the full fare for the car, including parking and tolls. If you have several suitcases or need a child seat, ask before you book.
For a driver to meet you at the terminal exit, you can pre-book a Bali airport transfer through MyBaliTrips.
Choosing a car and pickup point
For a short ride, look at what GrabCar and GoCar charge and how soon a driver can get to you. In heavy traffic, a metered Bluebird ride can cost more or less than a fixed app fare. For a day with several stops, compare the cost of separate rides with hiring a car and driver.
Grab estimates Rp 90,000–150,000 from central Denpasar to the airport. Check the app for the actual fare at your travel time, including for the return trip. Parking and tolls may cost extra.
Drop the pickup pin somewhere a car can stop. If your driver can’t get to the beach or club entrance, ask the staff where they can pick you up or whether they can call a local taxi. Before you get in, match the driver’s name and number plate to your booking.
Phone number and payment
Try signing in before you fly. If the app sends a code by text, make sure you receive it. Gojek asks for a phone number and email address when you register. If it doesn’t accept your number, Gojek support suggests trying a local one, such as an Indonesian number. In Grab, take a look at the payment options while you’re signed in.
See how you can pay before confirming the ride. If the app won’t accept your card or the payment fails, choose cash if that’s an option. Grab may charge an extra fee for cards issued outside Indonesia. If a driver asks you to transfer money to a personal account, stick with the payment method shown in your booking.
Gojek
Choose GoCar for a car or GoRide for a motorcycle taxi for one passenger. At the airport, choose GoCar Airport and follow the directions to the pickup point. In town, enter your destination and choose how to pay once you’ve seen the fare.
Grab
Use GrabCar around town and GrabCar Airport after you land. Look for the GrabCar Lounge in your terminal’s pickup zone. GrabBike can’t be booked for airport pickups. With suitcases, make sure the type of car you book has room for them.
inDrive
With inDrive, you suggest a fare. Drivers can accept it or make another offer. Enter your pickup and destination to see who’s available, then confirm the driver and the price you’ve agreed on.
Bluebird and Goldenbird
Bluebird runs metered taxis. MyBluebird shows whether there’s a car nearby. For a ride booked ahead of time, the same company runs Goldenbird Airport Transfer. After you land, take your voucher or booking number to the Goldenbird or Bluebird Group counter in arrivals.
Maxim
Put both addresses into Maxim to compare fares and waiting times. At the airport, go to the pickup point shown for your terminal or ask at an official taxi counter.
AirAsia Ride
You can book a ride to or from Bali’s airport ahead of time in AirAsia MOVE. Availability depends on the date and route. For a ride elsewhere on the island, look in the app to see whether any cars are available.
BaliCab
BaliCab is a local ride app. In the App Store, its developer is PT Bali Cakravat Arya Bhanda. Before booking, check the fare, pickup point and whether the car suits your group. If there are no cars, try Grab or Gojek or book a transfer in advance.
The similarly named BaliCab.com offers a separate car-and-driver service.
Green SM
Green SM runs electric taxis in Bali with Taksi Komotra. Enter your route in the app to see if a car is available. At the airport, go to the pickup point in your booking or ask at an official desk where to meet the driver.
A car and driver for the day
If you’re planning several stops, you can hire a car and driver in Bali through MyBaliTrips. Before you pay, agree on the route and how long you’ll need the car. Ask how many passengers and bags it can carry and what you’ll pay for waiting or going over time.
It's better via the app. Install Grab and you can register with your mobile number or link it to your Google account. By default, payment is set to cash, but the entrance fee to the airport area of 10,000 rupees (fixed for any transport) is not included. In the chat with the driver, you can try to choose a pickup spot in English, or you can meet him.
The airport has limited coverage, and it doesn't reach the parking area from where the transport picks you up, so if there aren't many people in the parking lot, you can take a photo or selfie near a notable landmark and send it to the driver in the chat. Then return to that spot within the airport's Wi-Fi range about 1 minute before you see in the app that he has entered the airport area.
A transfer is more convenient and secure, but also more expensive.
