Local tip

Bali traffic is notoriously bad, especially between Kuta and Ubud. Use Grab for reliable pricing — the airport official taxi queue charges 3× more.

Getting to your hotel from DPS

Pre-book a fixed-price arrival transfer if you're landing late or with kids — saves the arrivals queue and locks price before you fly.

Getting out of Bali (DPS)

Skip the taxi rank and lock in your fare before you land.
