Bemos (Local Minibuses)

BEMOS IN BALI

Source: Wikimedia Commons

Bemos are traditional minibuses in Bali that are mainly used by local residents and offer a cheap way to travel between towns and villages. For Malaysian travellers, riding a bemo can be a unique local experience, although the routes and schedules may be confusing because there are no fixed timetables or booking apps. Travellers can simply wait by the roadside or at local markets and wave to stop a bemo. Payment is made directly to the driver in cash, with fares usually ranging from IDR 10,000 to 30,000 (around RM3 to RM9), depending on the distance.

Below is a guide to common bemo routes in Bali, including approximate fares in both Indonesian Rupiah and Malaysian Ringgit, and how to buy a ticket:

How to Buy a Bemo Ticket (Step-by-Step)

  1. Find a Bemo Stop or Wait by the Roadside
    Bemos do not have official bus stops. Look for locals waiting along the main road or near markets and terminals.
  2. Flag Down the Bemo
    Raise your hand when you see one coming in your direction so drivers will slow down if they have space.
  3. Confirm Your Destination
    Ask the driver if the bemo goes to your destination (for example, “Ubud?” or “Kuta?”).
  4. Confirm or Negotiate the Fare
    Politely ask about the fare before boarding. Prices are fixed for locals but may vary slightly for tourists.
  5. Pay in Cash
    Payment is made directly to the driver typically when you exit the vehicle. Keep small change (IDR 5,000–10,000 notes).
  6. Get Off at Your Stop
    Tell the driver “stop” or “di sini” (here) when you reach your destination.

Tips for Travellers

  • Always carry small denominations of Indonesian Rupiah.
  • Avoid night travel by bemo as services usually end by early evening.
  • Confirm fares before boarding to avoid confusion.
  • Expect occasional delays — bemos often wait to fill up before departing.
  • If you prefer comfort and predictability, consider using Grab, Gojek, or a private driver instead.

Taxis

TAXI IN BALI

Source: Welcome Pickups

Taxis are one of the easiest and most comfortable ways for Malaysian travellers to travel around Bali, especially in popular areas like Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Sanur, and Denpasar. They are suitable for short and medium-distance trips, but fares may differ depending on the taxi company. The most trusted option is the Blue Bird Group taxi service, which is known for its light blue taxis and metered fares that offer transparent pricing. Travellers can easily stop a taxi on the street, book through the app, or ask the hotel to arrange one. For non-metered taxis, it is recommended to agree on the fare before starting the journey to avoid overpaying.

Taxis in Bali are typically more expensive than ride-hailing apps, but they offer better safety and reliability, particularly for travellers unfamiliar with the island’s roads. Below is a guide to the different types of taxis available in Bali, their average fares, and useful tips for Malaysian visitors.

Taxi TypeWhere to FindHow to Book / PayApproximate Fare (IDR / MYR)

Convenient and safe option for tourists.

How to Use a Taxi in Bali (Step-by-Step)

  1. Choose a Trusted Taxi Company
    Whenever possible, use Blue Bird Taxi for reliability and fair pricing. Avoid unmarked taxis.
  2. Confirm the Meter
    Ensure the driver uses the meter. If the meter is “not working,” ask for a fixed fare before you start the trip.
  3. Payment Method
    Most taxis accept cash only, but Blue Bird taxis allow card payments and e-wallets through their app.
  4. Get a Receipt
    Ask for a receipt (struk) for record-keeping, especially for airport transfers or hotel reimbursements.
  5. Use the App When Possible
    The Blue Bird app allows you to book a ride similar to Grab, with fare estimates and driver details provided upfront.

Tips for Malaysian Travellers

  • Carry small notes in Indonesian Rupiah for easier payment.
  • Avoid unsolicited taxi offers at busy spots like airports or beaches.
  • Traffic can be heavy, especially in the late afternoon — plan travel times accordingly.
  • Tipping is optional but appreciated (around IDR 5,000–10,000 or RM1.50–RM3).
  • For longer day trips, hiring a private driver may be more affordable than multiple taxi rides.

We really love this Japanese hotel. Room has been recently renovated, bright and clean and the toilet is installed with a huge and new bathtub. Property has a big and nicely kept garden and nice swimming pool a few steps away from the beach. Watching sunrise from there was pure delight. Breakfast was good and service from all the staff was excellent. Food from the Italian restaurant was very good too.

The hotel is located within a large complex. There are many restaurants just a street away, and it's a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to the Collection mall, or you can use the scheduled shuttle service. The hotel isn't directly on the beach, but they offer regular shuttle rides to and from the seaside. Most of the hotel staff are very friendly, with the exception of a few at the beach. Every time I tried to buy a coconut at the beach, the staff would say they were sold out. And when I tried to order other drinks, they seemed quite annoyed. The room itself was spacious and very clean. They provide four complimentary bottles of water daily, and you can request four more. Any additional bottles after that come with a charge. During breakfast, you can see many small squirrels being fed from little wooden bowls hung on the trees in the restaurant.

Overall, a very unique bar, and definitely a great choice if you're vacationing with kids. * **Location:** The hotel is in the heart of Kuta Beach. Step out, and you're right on the beach, surrounded by dining, shopping, and markets. Very convenient. * **Room:** Generally decent. Cleanliness and the room itself were satisfactory. * **Dining:** The food overall was good, and breakfast offered a good variety. However, I have to complain that there was only Western and Indian food, absolutely no Chinese options. We tried a buffet and an Italian restaurant for dinner at the hotel's three restaurants. The prices were reasonable, and the food was decent. * **Facilities:** The swimming and water play facilities are absolutely top-notch. There are three large water play areas, easily enough to keep kids entertained for two days. The hotel has a rock and nightlife vibe, with the lobby acting as a large, very distinctive bar. They even offered complimentary bar drinks (which you can enjoy with your kids), which was a nice touch.

The cliffside rooms offer great views. They're very spacious, clean, and feature a wet/dry bathroom separation, with each room having its own balcony. The hotel's toiletries are excellent, and they provide unlimited filtered drinking water daily. The hotel also organizes daily activities that guests can choose to join. Facilities: There are many swimming pools with clean water. There's also a beach pool, a favorite for kids, and a small private beach – not ideal for swimming, but perfect for a quick dip. Breakfast: It's decent, enough to fill you up. Surroundings: There's a construction site nearby, but it's not noisy, just a slight obstruction to the view. Transportation: It's quite far from the city center, so you'll need a taxi to get around. There are no convenience stores nearby.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bali Tropical Resort & Spa — excellent value for money. The property is a bit older (you can tell it was built years ago), but it has been well maintained and partially renovated, so everything still feels in good condition and comfortable. Location is a big highlight: the hotel has direct beach access and it truly feels like the beach is part of the resort. The pool is large and has a swim-up/integrated bar, which is a great touch. The overall atmosphere is calm and relaxing — perfect for resting. What we loved most is how authentically Balinese it feels: beautiful décor, carved doors, wood furniture, and even two small temples inside the hotel, which adds a special cultural vibe. The staff were extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. We also tried the spa, and we highly recommend it. You can find cheaper options outside, but the convenience and comfort of having it inside the hotel is worth it, and the prices are still reasonable. We ate at the hotel’s three restaurants and generally enjoyed the food. Small note: breakfast was okay but not as impressive as the rest of the experience—some items felt a bit basic. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this resort. Great service, great location, relaxing atmosphere — no need to look elsewhere.

Pleasant experience with this hotel but never stay long enough to give valuable feedback. However, from check-in to check-out, it was a seamless experience. Staffs are very nice. Upon entering the room, the taps, shower head, and toilet flush are very rusty & mouldy.. We requested for a change but water output was not better.. It was splashing in all directions, making washing up not a very pleasant experience. But you pay for what you get which was reasonable as long as water is clean.

We made a last-minute decision to visit during the summer holidays and chose this hotel because of its proximity to the beach. I was prepared for an older hotel in an older area, and that's exactly what it was; there were quite a few middle-aged and elderly guests. However, the hotel's pool and garden views were quite nice, and the rooms had been renovated. The showerhead wasn't discolored, and the water quality was fine. Breakfast was acceptable, I'd give it an 80%. Besides the locally grown papaya, nothing else really stood out. We received drink vouchers for the restaurant bar, which was a pleasant place to relax. Bicycles were available for rent, and cycling along the beach was very enjoyable. There's a good restaurant by the hotel beach, with a 4.9-star rating on Google Maps. We ordered three set meals for over RMB 600 (including a significant service charge). However, there were some downsides: 1. The hairdryer was broken. I specifically went to the front desk to ask for a replacement, but nothing was done. Luckily, it was summer. 2. Service discrimination favoring Caucasians. When queuing for eggs🍳, a Caucasian lady behind me asked for soft-boiled eggs. The chef, with an ingratiating smile, went out of his way to cater to her request, spending considerable time and completely ignoring my🍳, which was ahead of hers. Only after he finished serving the Caucasian lady with a bow did he turn to my eggs, which were already overcooked. He just made an awkward sound and offered no apology. 3. For an Indonesian hotel costing over RMB 1000 a night, I discovered upon leaving that there were green crayon marks on the quilt (near the foot end) (see picture). Are they so stingy with linen that they won't discard it?

The staff were very friendly, helpful, and genuinely service-minded. They were also happy to recommend places and things to do around the area, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, there were several issues that significantly affected our stay. During the daytime, there was some burning happening around the nearby rice field, and the smell came directly into our room. It became uncomfortable enough that we had to leave the hotel for a few hours and only came back in the evening. The biggest problem, however, was the air conditioning. In the middle of the night, the room became extremely cold even though we had not intended to make it that cold. We were surprised to find the air conditioner running at 17°C with the fan at maximum speed. We had to wake up several times to adjust the temperature, and because of this we could not sleep properly until early morning. The Wi-Fi was also very poor. Once our phones connected to the hotel Wi-Fi, the internet was practically unusable, so we eventually had to disconnect and use our own roaming mobile data instead. Overall, the staff and service were good, but the air conditioning and internet problems seriously affected the comfort of our stay. If these two issues were fixed, the experience would be much better.

Amazing and flawless 10/10 stay at The Westin Ubud Bali. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is pure serenity—nestled in a lush rainforest setting with a breathtaking centrepiece infinity pool that feels like it’s floating in the clouds amongst the serine jungle. It’s the kind of place where you instantly slow down and just breathe and experience a place you can relax, be well and rise every day feeling better than the next. The food is exceptional across the board—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious. Every meal felt like a highlight and Sebastian takes pride and care with his team and the high food quality standards. What truly sets this property apart, though, is the passionate Westin associates that Go Beyond! The entire team operates at an incredibly high level, and it shows in every interaction. A special thank you to General Manager Saraswati, whose hands-on leadership is evident everywhere; you can feel how much she genuinely cares about both guests and her team. Darma at the lobby bar is a standout… his attention to detail and craftsmanship behind the bar made every visit memorable. Yana ensures the restaurants runs like clockwork, delivering a smooth, polished, and faultless dining experience every time. And Arta and Crisna—your work ethic and standards are simply outstanding. You consistently go above and beyond in a way that truly elevates the entire property. Cleanliness is absolutely next level—impeccable in every possible way with an amazing housekeeping team. This is Marriott. This is Westin. And this is hospitality done at its very best.

Aside from diving, the hotel was okay. There were a lot of flies in the restaurant, and many mosquitoes during dinner. The hotel's dive center was a bit of a rip-off. For scuba diving, they'd make excuses not to go to the further dive spots; 2 out of 3 dives would be in the same place, just a few dozen meters apart. For snorkeling, they only let you go once, and it costs more than double what you'd pay outside. Plus, they wouldn't even take you to the island. They said we'd be back between 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM, but for our three dives, we were back by 1:00 PM. They probably wanted to eat earlier. You can tell how perfunctory their service was.

Check in was smooth. Staffs were friendly. Hotel is huge, they have 3 blocks. I got the far end of the block which was a little bit away from the reception and the restaurants and the open space for smoking. In 2 circumstances, i walked up to the room and the door card could not work. This happened in 2 different nights. I had to walk down and got it reset, but the staffs didnt bother to apologise for this. The first time it happened I was okay, but the second time it happened, I got pissed off, because it was a long walk from the room to the reception. If you order food delivery, it will be a long walk to take your food at the reception. If you got the rooms at the reception level, I'm sure it will be a great experience like the first time I was there in the Junior Suite, but this time it was not as pleasant. Thumbs up though for the housekeeping, as the found out I had many shirts lying on the sofa, they brought a small clothes rack and hung my shirts.

The hotel is in a great city-centre location, making it convenient to access nearby attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was included and offered a wide variety of options, catering to different tastes and preferences. However, there were several issues that affected our experience. The room description on Trip.com stated that the bed would be either a queen bed or twin beds, but we were instead given a king bed, even though we tried checking in as early as possible so that we can get a twin beds room. Bed type should be clearly specified and guaranteed during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings. The hotel's carpet is quite old and had a noticeable smell. In one of our rooms, the air conditioner appeared dusty and barely blew any air. However, after we contacted the front desk, the issue was resolved promptly, which we appreciated. The curtains were also not blackout curtains, allowing too much light into the room early in the morning. Despite requesting a quiet room, we were assigned a room next to the swimming pool. The soundproofing was also quite poor, and we could clearly hear people walking and talking along the corridor throughout the day and night, which affected our rest.

And I really thank you for the delicious birthday cake😭❤️🎂 I really enjoyed it! The omelet at breakfast was good and since I had some time before heading to the airport after checking out, I had Pisa Goreng at the restaurant, which was really tasty🍌 100% recommend here!

Fox Hotel Jimbaran Beach Bali

Jimbaran Bali|14.1km dari pusat bandar
The hotel is very close to Jimbaran Beach, only a 6-7 minute walk away. Plus, there's a really good Indonesian restaurant right outside the hotel that's not too expensive. The hotel facilities themselves are a bit old, but they're well-maintained. The infinity pool on the top floor is very comfortable and offers great views :) At night, there's a night market on the road outside the hotel. It's crowded, but there's also a lot of traffic, so walking can be dangerous. I didn't try the food, so I don't know if it's good, haha. This hotel is part of ASR Ascott, but I enquired beforehand and they don't offer any special member benefits. So it's cheaper to just book through a third-party platform :)

A large, beautiful hotel. We stayed in a villa located in front of the main hotel building. The villas are perfect for families with children. The spa is amazing, highly recommend it. The staff really tries to make your stay comfortable. We had 5 children in our group who usually eat milky oatmeal for breakfast, but unfortunately, it wasn't on the main menu. At our very first request, they prepared oatmeal for our children, and every morning for a week, it was waiting for us at a specific time. There's a good gym with personal aeroyoga and Pilates classes. The hotel grounds are well-maintained and green, and there are plenty of sun loungers and beach space. Peacocks roam freely on the property. Thank you!

This hotel is a very good choice 👍🏼 I am a little picky, but here’s my review: Pros: ✅ No damp smell, well ventilated ( I was worried about this) ✅ No insects in the room. There might be some geckos 🦎 (which is normal and expected) but I didn’t see any. ✅ Very clean in general ✅ Comfortable bed ✅ The service is amazing ✅ The staff is very friendly and helpful ✅ The breakfast is very good, there are plenty of choices. ✅ Their restaurant is also very good, in case you don’t want to go out of the resort. ✅ The vibe at the beach is nice and if you like water sports it is also good. ✅ The pool is huge and very nice ✅ Reasonable price (but it will depend on the season and demand) Cons: 😑 Sound proof can be better, one can hear everyone from the pool (the sound enters from the main door) 😑 The beach is not the best for swimming, and is a bit dirty in general (not the hotel’s fault) 😑 The gym can be better as there are only 3 machines (spinning, treadmill and elliptical) the dumbbells are fine ✅😄 Overall, recommended! I was happy with my stay at this hotel! It is good to give it a try!

Perfect place for a family, room is clean and smells the best. I am very picky about hygiene so the fact that I say this is a big deal, trust me.  I didn't find any mosquito in the room. But the hotel left some baygon just in case if you need it.  Amenities is stocked up. The turn down service was nice too but i wish they left us with a little treat to make it more special  Food is great, the chocolate hour was a nice touch, but i wish they also include at least some water for the children, every drink is extra during this hour. We did request for it to be delivered to our room as our daughter was not in the mood for going down to the restaurant but she really wanted the chocolate, i was alone so I was not possible to leave her by herself…but they denied it, i guess this is a red light for me. As for the pools, you got options for every age. For the first time my daughter swam for 5 hours! It was just that amazing. But there is one accident that was unexpected, the swii (floating board with battery) died during the use, my daughter is 4 so yes she was panicked as the pool was deep. Luckily I had a feeling it would happen and I happen to be just behind her. I don’t want to imagine if i was not there next to her… The service was impeccable and the fact that it is located next to samasta makes our stay a lot more easier. As we wait for check in we had a lunch there and a little shopping. There is a cultural dance in the evening that was a very welcoming sight!  It was about 5-10 mins walk to jimbaran beach, you dont need a buggy for it as the buggy has specific schedules. If you are looking for a place to dine with Jimbaran beach view and amazing seafood but does not want to go with the crowd, Sundara restaurant behind the hotel was perfect.  My daughter and I had the best Jimbaran fish here, and I am a local! The restaurant belong to FS hotel. So yes the price is high but the food and service is amazing, also you don’t need to go far! The location if this hotel was perfect for a family.  The kids play was good but could be better, honestly if this was marketed as family hotel i think they can put a little more effort in keeping the kids corner updated. There is also a specific section for kids dining area with TV and kids utensils, but somehow is a bit dark.  The food was perfectly separated for halal/no pork. It was the perfect mix between local food and western, i had the best bakso there.  As for room, We had a suite room overlooking the pool, and the fact that we are on 2nd floor makes it so easy to go to restaurant and the pool as it was only 1 stair away. the hotel was fully booked. I wish to add another night but unfortunately all the rooms are sold out.

A five-star hotel where the accommodation, hygiene, and service all deserve full marks. Especially the breakfast buffet – every dish was delicious! I particularly loved the bakery bar; the Western pastries were amazing. For dinner, we went to their sister hotel (connected to Andaz) for a buffet. The food variety wasn't extensive, but thankfully everything was quite good. There was also a spectacular fire show in the middle. At first, I thought it might be a bit cheesy, but it actually turned out to be quite entertaining! However, the best part of the entire resort experience, in my opinion, was the beach. The photo I uploaded was taken at the hotel beach. That night, the sky was clear, and the moon rose over the sea – it was incredibly beautiful! My family and I were walking on the beach after dinner when we saw this scene, and everyone gasped. I never thought I'd actually witness a 'moon rising from the sea,' a sight I'd always thought only existed in Tang Dynasty poetry. That's all.

Uluwatu Bali|19.75km dari pusat bandar
My impressions are mixed. On the plus side: the hotel has a pleasant nook, the road leading to it and the surrounding area are nice, and there's a small lake and a couple of decent restaurants for a quick bite right opposite. It's much better than most of Uluwatu, which is filled with broken roads and endless construction. The rooms are a bit dated; there was a nail sticking out from under the TV stand, and the toilet kept making a flushing noise occasionally after pressing the button, but overall it was clean and tidy. We didn't ask to change rooms, though. Breakfast was satisfactory; like everywhere else, it was sometimes difficult to get eggs from the station, but there were many alternatives like pancakes, local soups and main courses, pastries, and desserts. The same restaurant for lunch/dinner was a bit overpriced, portions were smaller than usual, and there wasn't much meat in the dishes. We also had to order drinks twice and wait before being told they were out of stock. For savings, I recommend joining the hotel's loyalty program for a 20% discount on your bill, but for truly good food, it's better to eat outside the hotel. We booked the hotel with 'bonuses' including a massage, which was fine, and welcome drinks (available any day at the restaurant/bar) – these turned out to be just two tiny glasses of boxed juice. Honestly, it would be better not to offer such a gift at all than to offer that. We only dipped into the pool once; there were no staff members on that floor at all, so we had to bring our own towels. There's a billiards table, but it's always covered with a cloth. There were some cracked tiles and construction boards in places, and they were mowing the lawn nearby. Definitely not a place for a full day of chilling, but you can go for a quick half-hour swim. My biggest dissatisfaction at the hotel was with the towel situation and the staff's response to it. Initially, there were only THREE towels in the room. For two people. In a supposedly four-star hotel. Two bath towels and one foot towel, that's it. Immediately after checking in, we went to the reception and asked for two more small hand towels. A couple of hours later, nothing. We went a second time, and okay, they brought the towels, problem solved. But the next day during cleaning, they took these towels (and note, they weren't thrown on the floor; the hotel's policy is supposedly 'eco-friendly,' and according to the rules in the room, towels for 'replacement' are supposed to be thrown on the floor), and didn't provide new ones. Another trip to reception followed, and we agreed that for the rest of our stay, no towels in our room should be changed at all – just the trash taken out. This rule was followed for another day, but then the towels were taken again. We were too tired to fight it anymore and just accepted it. Judging by other reviews and the situation we observed, there's high staff turnover here; there's one competent administrator, but the rest are green trainees who know absolutely nothing. Also, I recommend getting a room with a balcony, because after two days of drying inside the room, I still had to use a hairdryer on my swimsuit to pack it in my suitcase. With cotton clothes, it would be even worse.

Ride-Hailing Apps (Grab and Gojek)

GOJEK IN BALI

Source: Bali Live

Ride-hailing apps like Grab and Gojek are among the most convenient and affordable ways for Malaysian travellers to get around Bali. These apps offer motorbike rides and private cars, with transparent pricing similar to Grab services in Malaysia. Travellers can use a Malaysian phone number to register and choose either cashless or cash payments. Ride-hailing fares are usually cheaper than regular taxis because prices are fixed in the app, so there is no need to negotiate. Besides transport, both apps also provide food delivery and other useful services. However, some tourist areas like Ubud and Canggu have restrictions on online ride-hailing services, so travellers may need to walk to designated pick-up points outside certain areas.

Hiring a private driver is one of the most comfortable and flexible ways for Malaysian travellers to explore Bali. Private drivers usually provide full-day service, allowing travellers to visit several attractions in one trip, including places like Ubud, Nusa Dua, Kintamani, and Tanah Lot at their own pace. Services can be booked through hotels, travel agencies, online platforms, or local operators. Most vehicles are air-conditioned, and many drivers can speak basic English or Malay, making communication easier. Private drivers are also a cost-effective option for families or groups because prices are usually charged per day and often include petrol and parking fees. Some drivers may also share local travel tips and recommendations during the journey.

Scooter Rental

SCOOTER RENTAL

Source: Bali Holiday Secrets

Renting a scooter is a popular and affordable way for Malaysian travellers to explore Bali independently. It gives travellers the freedom to move around easily, avoid traffic, and visit smaller villages or hidden beaches that may be difficult to reach by car. Since motorbikes are commonly used in Malaysia, many Malaysians may find this travel style familiar. However, Bali’s roads can be busy and challenging for first-time visitors, so safety is important. Travellers should have a valid Malaysian driving licence and an International Driving Permit (IDP) with a motorcycle endorsement. Wearing helmets is compulsory for both riders and passengers. Scooters can be rented from hotels, local rental shops, or online platforms, with daily and weekly rental options available at affordable prices.

How to Rent a Scooter in Bali (Step-by-Step)

  1. Find a Reliable Rental Shop
    Choose a reputable rental provider — check online reviews or ask your hotel for recommendations. Avoid street-side offers without proper documentation.
  2. Check the Scooter’s Condition
    Inspect the brakes, lights, mirrors, and tires before accepting the vehicle. Take photos of any scratches or damages for your records.
  3. Provide Your Documents
    Present your passport, Malaysian driving licence, and International Driving Permit (IDP). Some shops may keep a photocopy for security purposes.
  4. Confirm Rental Terms and Price
    Clarify the rental duration, daily rate, and any additional costs such as fuel or late return fees. Ensure a helmet is included.
  5. Fuel Up Before You Go
    Most scooters come with little fuel. Petrol stations are widely available, and fuel costs around IDR 12,000–13,000 per litre (≈ RM3.50–RM4).
  6. Return the Scooter on Time
    Return it at the agreed time and location. Late returns may incur additional fees.

Safety Tips for Malaysian Travellers

  • Always wear a helmet and carry your licence and IDP — police checks are common.
  • Avoid riding at night in unfamiliar or poorly lit areas.
  • Be mindful of local traffic rules and drive slowly on narrow village roads.
  • Park only in designated areas and keep the rental contract and shop contact with you at all times.
  • Travel insurance that covers motorbike use is highly recommended.

Many hotels, resorts, and travel agencies offer scheduled shuttle services that connect popular tourist areas such as Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, Nusa Dua, Sanur, and Canggu. These services are ideal for visitors who prefer not to drive or navigate Bali’s busy roads on their own.

Hotel shuttles are usually complimentary for nearby attractions or airport transfers, while tourist shuttle services operated by private companies offer shared or private transfers between major destinations across the island.

Money and Payments in Bali

PAYMENTS IN BALI

Source: Bali Exception

When travelling around Bali, it is important to understand the local payment preferences. Most drivers, small transport operators, and local vendors prefer cash payments in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). While major hotels, restaurants, and tour companies accept cards, many smaller services — such as local taxis, bemos, or scooter rentals operate on a cash-only basis.

Digital payment methods like GrabPay and GoPay are becoming more popular, particularly in urban or tourist-heavy areas. However, Malaysian travellers should top up their e-wallets in advance or link an international credit or debit card, as topping up with Malaysian bank accounts is not always supported in Indonesia.

ATMs and money changers are widely available in tourist zones such as Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, and Nusa Dua. It is recommended to withdraw cash in moderate amounts and keep smaller notes (IDR 5,000–20,000) handy for paying drivers, parking fees, or short rides.

Tips for Malaysian Travellers

  • Carry Small Notes: Always keep small denominations for short rides, local snacks, or parking payments, as many drivers may not have change for large bills.
  • Confirm Fares in Advance: If you are taking a taxi without a meter, agree on the fare before starting the trip to avoid misunderstandings.
  • Ride Legally and Safely: Avoid riding motorbikes without a valid driving licence or travel insurance that covers scooter use. Police checks are common, and fines can be issued to unlicensed riders.
  • Plan for Traffic: Bali’s roads can be heavily congested, particularly in areas like Kuta and Seminyak during peak hours. Plan your travel time accordingly.
  • Use Offline Maps: Mobile data may be unstable in rural or coastal areas, so it’s wise to download offline maps in advance for easier navigation.
