⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore unofficial drivers inside the arrivals hall; use the official airport taxi counter, a booked transfer, or the designated Grab/Gojek zone only.
  • Airport taxis are fixed fare, not metered—confirm the total price at the counter before paying; the driver should not ask for extra except an optional toll road.
  • Trans Metro Dewada buses do not accept cash; you need QRIS or an e-money card. Cash will not work.
  • Ride-hailing fares can surge at peak times, late night, and around Nyepi; check the app price before requesting and never agree to off-app cash offers.
