Bali Airport Taxis
Official Airport Taxis at Bali Airport DPS work with a fixed price list and the price depends on the area you want to go to. You can find the counter after you have left the building and exited through the duty free area just outside. Tell the person at the desk your destination or hotel name, then he will tell you the price and give you a ticket number or assign a driver.
Arguing the price they quote is of no use, if you feel that the price is too expensive or if you think your hotel is not in Seminyak, but in Legian.
You pay the driver at the end of the trip.
You need to pay CASH to the driver AFTER he dropped you. So if you plan to get a taxi, remember to change some money at the money changer just after you exited the customs area or withdraw some money at the ATM. Tipping is common but not a must.
Unless you have booked your pick-up an airport transfer beforehand there is no easy alternative. You CAN NOT get a metered taxi at the airport.
It can be a bit of a hassle to get a cab at the airport if you have not booked transfer service with your hotel. You will get asked by many “freelance” drivers that lure around the area, if you want their service. This can be overwhelming and not every driver will be giving you a fair price.
