Bali airport taxi rates.

The Bali airport taxi charge a fixed rate depending on your destination. These fixed rates are published on a big plastic signboard at the taxi counter. When you get to the airport taxi counter  you will need to tell the clerk where you go and he will quote you the price.

You get a piece of paper with the number of your taxi written on and often the price as well. The payment is to the taxi driver at the end of the ride.

These are the prices on the first and second board. Check your hotel location and note the number and price. When you get to the counter you will be ready to negotiate if they give you a different rate.

Where can I find the Bali airport taxi.

To get the least chance of being overcharged you need to book your taxi at the official counter. If you book your taxi from a random taxi driver then there is a high chance that you will be overcharged.

  • International Arrival Terminal; the taxi counter is after you exit the arrival terminal through the glass sliding doors and after you walk zig-zag through the “Dufry Shopping” arcade where they sell sweets and alcohol. The counter is right next to the information desk.
  • Domestic Arrival Terminal; the airport taxi counter is again after you exit the glass sliding doors and then turn to your left.


Who are the people behind the Bali airport taxi.

At the Bali airport there is one official taxi operator called the “Koperasi Taksi Ngurah Rai” or more commonly named the Bali airport taxi.

This is group of individual drivers who have agreed to work together and set a certain standard of services. They all drive the same cars, wear the same uniform and charge (mostly) the same rates.

The Bali airport taxi pay a license fee to Angkasa Pura I. Angkasa Pura is the state enterprise responsible for the management of airports in Indonesia. As they are the only ones paying this license fee they;

  • charge higher than regular taxis to recover the license fee.
  • are very protective of their business (they don’t like other unlicensed drivers take business).

As of July 2015 there are actually three other taxi companies at the domestic arrival terminal. They are colour coded (red, green, yellow) and appear to charge the same rates as the Bali airport taxi. They only do small business.
