⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore touts in the arrivals hall offering taxis or 'special' speedboat transfers; use the official taxi counter, Koptax booth, or a pre-booked app/transfer.
  • The official airport taxi is fixed-price, not metered; confirm the total fare and any Bali Mandara toll road surcharge before leaving.
  • Grab and Gojek only pick up at the designated online-taxi zone near the car park, never at the general kerb; if a driver asks you to walk elsewhere, stay in the marked zone.
  • Always carry some Indonesian rupiah: official taxi counters may not accept cards, and the public bus requires QRIS or an e-money card, not cash.
