Hey guys, a few questions:
Which are the cheapest and most reliable transportation apps in Bali? So far I know about Grab, Gojek, Balicab, Booking Taxi and Bluebird
Anyone used the taxi option in the Booking.com app? The rates appear to be favorable, at least for airport pickup. Bali Airport - Ubud center - 200k IDR. This is a good price right?
For Bluebird and Gojek it appears you need an Indonesian SIM. If I use Klook and buy a prepaid SIM card delivered directly to our villa, then these apps will work?
I know that bikes are significantly cheaper to rent than cars, especially for short trips. However, there will be two of us. In Philippines for example you can find motorcycles with a sidecar, that can transport two people. You can find them in Bali as well, maybe through an app? Or, is there a way to call two bikes at once through the same reservation?
Thank you.
I had positive experience with the app overall but today I took a taxi from Seminyak to Kuta Beachwalk shopping mall and the driver wanted to charge me more, didn’t want to give all the change.
The bill was 80.250. I gave him 100 000 and a 500 coin.
He just gave me 10 000 at first and started saying ‘thank you, thank you’.
I asked him what does he thank me for, he needs to give me 20 000, not 10 000.
He pretended that he didn’t understand what I was saying and kept saying thank you.
I explained again, pointing at his screen that’s showing the price and he gave me 5000 and said ‘goodbye’.
I had to explain several times again that he needs to give me 20 000, not 10 000, not 15 000 until he finally gave me all the change back.
5000 is not much, it’s not about money. The reason why I choose an official app with a taxi meter and fixed prices is to avoid this kind of situations.
Should I give him low rating, contact the customer service about this matter or it’s just some misunderstanding for real and I’m overreacting?
Edit: Thanks everyone for the comments. I was upset for about 10 minutes because I felt cheated and annoyed that driver decided to tip himself without my consent. I’m not going to report the driver neither rate him.
