Gojek and Grab are banned from picking up at Ngurah Rai Airport. Use the official prepaid taxi counter inside the terminal — do not negotiate with drivers outside.
Is Grab or Gojek available in Bali?
Yes, both are widely available in Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud. They cannot pick up at the airport, but you can use them everywhere else.
How do I identify a Blue Bird taxi in Bali?
Blue Bird taxis are light blue, clean, and always metered. The driver wears a uniform. Avoid look-alike blue taxis from other companies.
Should I tip taxi drivers in Bali?
Rounding up is appreciated but not expected. For a Blue Bird meter fare of IDR 47,000, IDR 50,000 is fine.
