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’m planning a solo trip to Bali in early March and transport has been a bit of a worry. The first hotel I was considering hasn’t replied to my email days ago so I just found another one and sent an email (is this a normal thing by the way? I’ve noticed they’re good at replying to reviews on travel sites but I’ve seen a review of the second hotel stating they wouldn’t reply to emails. Is it still safe to book?). The second hotel doesn’t offer hotel transfers on the website (though I’ve read reviews that say otherwise).
I last visited Bali in 2013 before Grab was a thing. I’ve just found out that Grab might be a thing but it’s not really a thing in Bali? When I was there I had airport transfers both ways, walked most of the time (just stuck to the Kuta Beach area), and only took a cab once to/from a restaurant (the concierges on both sides flagged me a Blue Bird taxi).
I’m reluctant to go with un-metered unmarked cabs partly because I’m gonna be solo but also because I’m terrible at haggling. I’m not good with aggressive touters either. Are Blue Bird taxis easy to flag on the street or would it be better to use the app? How user friendly is the app?
I’ve heard stories about getting to/from the airport too.. How easy is it to get a Blue Bird from the departure hall?
