TRANSPORTATION IN BALI

Consider your needs and travel plans to choose the most suitable mode of transportation.

Scooters and Motorcycles
Scooters and motorcycles are a very popular way of transportation in Bali. They are cheap and easily accessible, allowing tourists to explore the island without limitations. However, it is important to have a valid driver’s licence and be cautious on the roads as traffic rules are not always followed. Nonetheless, it is a great way to get around the island, especially if you want to explore less touristy places.

Cars
For those who crave greater comfort or travel in larger groups or with family, cars and automobiles for rent are a great option. Just like with scooters and motorcycles, it is important to have a valid driver’s licence and be cautious on the roads. However, it is important to carefully read the rental terms and verify the price in advance to avoid surprises.

Taxis
Taxis are available in Bali mainly in tourist areas such as Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, and others. These services are offered by both traditional taxi drivers and through apps such as Grab or Go-Jek. These apps allow ordering taxis via mobile phone and paying through the app, which is convenient and safe.

Taxi prices in Bali vary depending on the destination and length of the trip. However, it’s important to verify the price in advance or order a taxi through an app because some drivers may demand exorbitant prices. Overall, travelling by taxi in Bali is safe, but it’s always a good idea to stick to larger and main roads because some smaller roads can be dangerous.

Some drivers may also offer services like “tourist taxi”, where they offer you a full-day or multi-day trip around the island with a driver who becomes your guide. These services are often more expensive than regular taxi services, but they can be a great choice for those who want to explore the island with a guide who is familiar with local culture and history.

GOJEK and GRAB
Go-Jek and Grab are convenient and popular ways of transportation on Bali. The apps work by allowing users to order a taxi or scooter that will bring them to their destination, as well as order food delivery or other services. Over time, the apps have expanded their offerings to many different services throughout Southeast Asia.

As you can see, there are several options for getting around Bali. Consider your transportation needs and travel plans to choose the most suitable mode of transportation.
