Sample Bali taxi fares

Hotel deals of the day for Bali -- check rates with Agoda


After we did our initial post regarding taxis fares from Bali airport, we’ve had many more inquiries about fares for specific routes. So, keeping that in mind, here are some of the more popular requests for taxi prices in Bali. Note these are eitherfrom the airport board (and so covered in the previous post as well), or estimated from the meter reading. If your taxi refuses to use the meter, use another taxi — Bali has plenty of taxis. Also note, Bali’s traffic is getting steadily worse, especially from the airport to Simpang Siur and this will affect your taxi fare.

This is NOT a taxi

This is NOT a taxi.

Airport routes (these fares are prepaid at the airport)
Bali airport to Bukit: 95,000 rupiah (Ayana), 115,000 rupiah (Dreamland), 135,000 rupiah (Bingin, Padang Padang and Uluwatu)
Bali airport to Candi Dasa: 335,000 rupiah
Bali airport to Jimbaran: 60,000 rupiah, 75,000 rupiah to the Four Seasons (far southern end of Jimbaran)
Bali airport to Kerobokan: 70,000
Bali airport to Nusa Dua: 95,000, 110,000 rupiah for the Nikko
Bali airport to Padang Bai: 315,000
Bali airport to Sanur: 95,000
Bali airport to Seminyak: 60,000
Bali airport to Ubud: 195,000
Bali airport to Uluwatu: 135,000
Bali airport to Tanjung Benoa: 105,000

Other popular requests (estimates on the meter):
Kuta to Canggu: 60,000 rupiah
Kuta to Tanah Lot: 80-100,000 rupiah
Sanur to Candi Dasa: 150-200,000 rupiah

Bali taxis off the meter
All taxis are supposed to use the meter and we always suggest that if your taxi driver refuses to use the meter, use a different taxi. However, if you want to use a taxi off the meter, use the above prices as a guideline.

For longer trips, taxis will often offer to wait for you so they can get the return fare as well. This can be a good deal, especially if you’re headed somewhere that doesn’t get a lot of passing taxi traffic — Canggu springs to mind. Taxi drivers will offer to either leave the meter running (if they’re using it in the first place!), or just agree on an hourly fee — 30,000-50,000 rupiah per hour is more than reasonable.

    Hi Stuart
    This is great info – loved the ‘this is NOT a taxi’ caption, I’m sure there’s many others that fit that bill. Do you know roughly how much the fare would be from Pantai Seseh, Canggu to Ubud? Thanks!

  2. # adminon 13 Jul 2011 at 8:58 am

    Hi Ella,

    I’ve not done that by cab but would guess around 100,000 give or take. Perhaps a little more.

    How much is the transfer from the airport to balian beach? We are 4 adults and 2 children (13 and 16 years) and need the transport at the 21st of august around 7 pm.
    Thanks a lot in advance, Martina

  4. # adminon 24 Jul 2011 at 9:17 am

    Hi Martina,

    I’d guess around the 250,000-300,000 rupiah mark — but if you have your lodgings arranged already in Balian then contact them as well and see what they’ll do an airport pickup for.

    Enjoy Balian – it is a lovely spot.

    pls provide fare from airport to seminyak urgently

  7. # adminon 22 Aug 2011 at 5:21 pm

    Hi Deepa,
    The fare is listed above — 60,000 rupiah.

    Hi there-
    Do you suggest that I get rupiah currency at the DPS airport on arrival or should I get it in the States prior to landing in DPS? I assume the taxi only accepts rupiah currency. Thanks for your help.

  9. # adminon 19 Sep 2011 at 6:47 am

    The exchange kiosks at the airport offer a poor rate, but if you’re just changing $20 for the cab, that’s no big deal. I’d exchange the rest of your money once in Bali proper. (apols for the late reply!)

    Hi

    May I know how much from the DPS airport to Hard Rock Bali Hotel n The Westin Nusa Dua? Thx

  11. # adminon 29 Dec 2011 at 6:29 am

    To the Hard Rock should be around 45,000 rupiah and Nusa Dua 95,000 rupiah. You can see the full pricelist here:

    Thank you for your information! ^_^

    Hi, I need to go to grand balisani suites from airport which is close to Kerobokan. I will have my wife and infant child with me…. what is the fare together for all 3 of us…. the hotel is providing one way airport to hotel for $8 per head…. which one to choose?

  14. # adminon 21 Sep 2012 at 2:03 pm

    Sorry Guarav, just saw this. Just get a cab from the airport – will be priced by car – not by person.

    Cheers

    Hi, Can anyone help me with regards to price for a taxi from Airport to Banjar (Eco Village Bali)??

    The hotel is quoting 400000 Rp

    rgds,

  16. # adminon 03 Oct 2012 at 4:49 am

    Hi Akshat,

    Bali Eco is out near Kintamani, 400,000 doesn’t strike me as all that unreasonable, given a taxi to Ubud from airport is 200 and it is over twice the distance.

  17. # travelleron 30 Oct 2012 at 11:57 pm

    Hi

    Do you know if the rates are more after midnight? Is it 50% more or anything like that? Or do the prices you list still hold after midnight. (My plane is arriving late that night.)

    Thanks.

  18. # adminon 31 Oct 2012 at 3:20 am

    Hi,

    I don’t think there is an after-hours surcharge as I’ve got a cab as late as 1am and there wasn’t any extra charge.

  19. # mehrson 18 Nov 2012 at 2:56 pm

    Hi,
    How much would the cab take from hotel puri wulandari in ubud to kamuela villas in seminyak…the hotel has offered a pick up for IDR 355,000…should I book with them or just take a cab given I’ ll be having 2 big suitcases…
    Thanks

  20. # adminon 20 Nov 2012 at 3:55 am

    Hi mehrs,
    You’ll pay 200-250,000 from central Ubud to Seminyak for a private taxi so given your hotel is quite isolated, well out of central Ubud, that doesn’t sound totally unreasonable to me.

  21. # jezon 21 Dec 2012 at 5:19 am

    hi! great site.
    are there any bemos that go from kuta to canggu?
    thanks!!

  22. # Rojion 11 Apr 2013 at 5:54 am

    How much would it be from ubud to bingin beach? Ea

    Please help! :) ???
    Thank you!!!

  23. # adminon 14 Apr 2013 at 11:47 am

    Hi Roji,

    I’m guessing here, but probably in the region of 250,000 – 300,000 rupiah — it’s at least a two hour drive.

    Cheers

  24. # Eamonn Grayon 15 Apr 2013 at 1:58 pm

    Landing Monday at 17:00 what should the fare be to Grand Kuta Hotel

  25. # adminon 16 Apr 2013 at 1:35 am

    @Eamonn — 45,000-50,000 rupiah.

  26. # Amyon 12 May 2013 at 12:08 pm

    Hi,

    I am looking for an estimate cost of how much a taxi would be from the Conrad Bali hotel in Tanjung Benoa to Sanur?

    Thanks!

  27. # adminon 17 May 2013 at 2:51 am

    @Amy, around 150,000 – 200,000 on the meter — more if the traffic is bad.
