Bali Airport Pickup and Drop-off with a Private Driver
Private airport pickup and drop-off
Bali Poleng, the trading name of Wira Kusuma, offers airport pickup and drop-off with a private driver. We are a family business based in Ubud, and our driving work covers Bali. That means your other stop does not have to be Ubud. It might be a hotel in the south, a villa inland or a place on the coast. Tell us where you are going and we will talk it through with you.
This page is for visitors who already want a private car at the airport. If you are still weighing up taxis, apps and pre-arranged cars, our guide to getting from Ngurah Rai Airport to Ubud compares them side by side. The airport operator also publishes its own public transport information, which is worth reading for current details.
What to tell us when you enquire
A complete first message means a faster reply and a quote that fits your trip. Please include:
- Whether you need a pickup, a drop-off or both.
- Your flight number and date. For a drop-off, your flight time and where you will be leaving from.
- The name and area of your accommodation. The exact name helps far more than just the town.
- How many people are travelling and how much luggage you have, including anything bulky such as surfboards, bike boxes or a pram.
- Anything that affects the vehicle, such as young children or someone who finds steps difficult.
If you would like to stop on the way, for a meal, some shopping or a first look at somewhere you have heard about, say so in your message. It is much easier to plan a stop before the day than to work it out at the terminal.
Decisions worth thinking about
Arrivals
The time between landing and walking out of the terminal changes a lot with immigration queues and baggage. Rather than guess, send your flight details and ask how a late or delayed flight would be handled. It is also worth asking how you will recognise your driver and where you will meet.
Departures
Work backwards from your check-in requirements. Traffic in Bali is unpredictable, so build in a cushion, and ask us what pickup time makes sense from your accommodation. We would rather talk it through than hand you a number without knowing where you are staying.
Pickup, drop-off or both
Some visitors book the arrival only and sort out the departure later. Others like to settle both in one conversation. Either approach is fine. If you are staying in more than one area, tell us the order so we can quote each leg sensibly.
Onward by sea
If your holiday continues to the Gilis, Lombok, Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan, the airport journey is only part of it. You can read about fast boat tickets separately, and our page on transfers across Bali explains how we approach harbour journeys. Which harbour you need depends on the boat operator and the ticket, so confirm that first.
Agree before booking
Before you confirm anything, check that you and the driver agree on:
- The exact meeting point and how you will find each other.
- What happens if your flight is early, late or delayed.
- Whether the car suits your group and luggage. Our car takes up to 5 passengers, or 4 passengers with suitcases. Tell us about any bulky bags, such as surfboards or bike boxes, and we will confirm.
- The quoted price, what it covers and how payment will work.
- How you will contact each other on the day, including what to do if your phone has no signal yet.
Common questions
Can you take me to any hotel in Bali?
Our driving service covers Bali. Send the name and area of your accommodation and we will confirm the journey and quote.
Do I need to be staying in Ubud?
No. Ubud is where we are based, but an airport transfer can start or finish anywhere in Bali.
What if my flight changes?
Let us know as soon as you can with the updated details. Talk through how changes are handled when you agree the transfer, so there are no surprises on arrival.
