"Taxi!"

There are several ways to get around in Bali. One of the easiest and most comfortable to new travellers are taxis (or Taksi!). Plenty of Taxi companies exist however there's only 1 reputable one - Blue Bird.

Blue bird taxis are distinguishable by their light blue colour car and the large blue bird symbol on top of the cab.



 Blue Bird taxis always put their metres on unlike some of the others and have a much better reputation. You can try your luck with some of the other random taxis that get around however you may be ripped off on arrival because 'the metre is broken' or 'I forgot' etc etc. Unless you know how much a trip should cost always insist on the driver using the metre.

You can also pay drivers in regular cars and vans to take you where you'd like to go. One depot is located on the road that connects the Pelangi and Breezes. It is customary to let the driver know where you're headed and then negotiate a price. Speak to some of the Bali regulars to get an idea on how much it should cost to get to your destination. If you have more than 4 people or you can't locate a Blue Bird, private transport is a good option at times.

Some people will also rent scooters while in Bali, these are available for rent quite cheaply and petrol costs next to nothing. You should have an international motorbike license to ride these however many tourists take the risk.

Travel laws in Bali are fairly simple - keep moving! Stay left an go slow and you can't get in too much trouble. If you're wise you'll avoid JL Legian after 11am...

Happy travels!
