How much should I pay for a taxi in Bali Indonesia from Denpasar airport to Kuta which is about 7min or 3.4 km
Answer :
Standard taxi fee from the airport to Kuta is 45,000 Rp Legian 50,000 and Seminyak 60,000.
The taxi scene is weird there. As you exit the building there is a kiosk on the immediate right that you book your taxi with. Wandering out into the parking lot and through the airport gates will save you about half the fare. That being said. your first taxi is going to be the most expensive taxi that you take. Once situated you can move around in Bemos, or taxis for a lot less money and renting a motor bike is cheap and easy. Bemo drivers are notorious at overcharging tourists. The best way to do this is to watch what the locals pay and to have the correct change and just hand the driver the same amount. or... ask a local you trust what you should pay. just part of the game man. Have fun.
I do a Bali cheat sheet if you want some local info. its free of course and not a commercial thing. Just email me and I will send it along.
Have fun.
Answer :
You are going to pay more for this than anywhere else on Bali, mainly because the taxi drivers wait there alot of the day and theres alot of competition between them. I think i paid like 60,000R which is like 7USD
Answer :
IDR 50.000 equal USD 5-6 ..
dont make a bargaining,,just talk straight to the point where u want to go!
