Grab – Getting around Bali is easy with the many different types of transport available. You can rent a private car, a scooter or hail a local taxi. However, local taxis are unmetered with taxi drivers set their own prices. They normally charge visitors a ridiculously high fare from one spot to another. Furthermore, if you are not familiar with the streets of Bali, driving your own scooter may be a bit dangerous.
Fortunately, this application is now available in Bali! Like everywhere else, ride-sharing apps have become increasingly popular. This online transportation application provides honest and upfront pricing for both locals and visitors. Drivers are well-trained and equipped with GPS to help you commute around the island.

Tips and tricks to using Grab transport in Bali
Popular streets in Bali are normally congested so we suggest ordering a Grab Bike instead. Don’t worry, all drivers pick you up with an extra helmet to ensure your safety. However, if you feel uncomfortable commuting with a motorbike, a Grab Car is always an option. Keep in mind that prices may be more expensive, but still relatively cheaper than local taxis.

Some areas actually prohibit the use of Grab taxis. If this is the case, find a pick-up spot that’s far from local taxi stalls. Call the driver to make sure he is happy to pick you up. Memorize the license plate so you don’t have to continually use your phone screen, which normally causes suspicion among local taxi drivers.
