4. Bali airport taxi fixed rates (issued in 2015);

Special note: even though these are the official published Bali airport taxi rates, it is possible that you will be asked to pay above these official rates. Mostly when you arrive late night or in peak season.

This blog is not related to the Bali airport taxi and if you wish to complain please use the Bali airport taxi contact details below.



Inconsistencies;
The rates for #22 and #31 are the other way around. Oberoi and Kerobokan are Rp 135,000 and Umalas, Banjar Semer and Kuwun (further away than Oberoi/Kerobokan) are Rp 150,000.
Teuku Umar (#7 / Rp 125,000) and Renon (#8 / Rp 135,000) are less expensive than Sanur (#22 / Rp 150,000). This is somewhat unusual as Sanur is closer from the Bali airport than both Renon and Teuku Umar.




Wonder what the old Bali Ngurah Rai airport taxi rates were?

You will need to state your destination and they will quote you the price. You will get a ticket with the number of your taxi and the price you need to pay.

Your taxi driver will be at the counter as well and walk you to the car. You pay direct to the driver (not at the counter).

Sometimes the Bali airport taxi will charge higher than the official rates. This generally happens during peak times when there is a big demand for taxis.

Also, if you arrive late night, the official airport taxi counter may have closed. There will still be taxi drivers hanging around although they will take advantage of the situation and charge very high fees.

7. Other alternatives

Hotel driver ~ Most hotels in Bali offer optional airport transfer services at a supplement fee. Some hotels will include free airport transfers if you book direct.

Uber Taxi ~ Uber is having a rough time in Bali. Although they were banned in January 2015 they have largely ignored this ban and continue to operate as if nothing happened. At this moment Uber is available in South Bali. They officially don’t drive as far as Ubud (although some will). Uber is strictly banned in some areas of Bali such as Canggu & Batubelig.

Grab Taxi ~ This is the Asian version of Uber (founded in Malaysia). You will need to have the Grab Taxi app installed on your smartphone.

Bluebird ~ Bluebird is one of the most reputable meter taxis in Bali. They are officially only allowed to drop customers at the Bali airport. They do not have a license to pick-up customers from the Bali airport. Nevertheless, it is sometimes possible to go up to the highest floor where the international departure terminal is and quickly hop into a Bluebird taxi who has just delivered customers to the departure terminal.

Sarbagita public bus ~ Sarbagita is the public transport provided by the Bali province. They have a bus stop at the international arrival terminal on the ground floor. The bus drivers about every 30 minutes to an hour. A bus ticket will cost you about Rp 7,500. The bus stops at major roads and is perhaps not convenient unless you have very little luggage to carry.
