Transport from Ngurah Rai international airport 2.5km (1.5mi) south of Kuta is quite simple. Choose from an official taxi counter where you pay a set price in advance or walk across the airport car park and hail a metered cab. Another option is to get a taxi from the airport to Bemo Corner in Kuta for a fixed rate and then get a metered taxi or a chartered bemo (minibus) to a more distant destination - this should save a few thousand rupiah. The impecunious (and lightly laden) can walk straight up the road to Kuta although it's a more pleasant stroll along the beach.

The main forms of public transport on Bali are the cheap buses and bemos that run on more or less set routes within or between towns. If you want your own transport you can charter a bemo or rent a car motorcycle or bicycle. The Balinese drive on the left use their horns a lot and give way to traffic pulling onto the road. Tourist shuttle buses running between the major tourist centres are more expensive than public transport but are also more comfortable and convenient.

For those of us who travel on a budget, but like to get around.... Perama is agreat mode of transport around Bali. They are a small bus company that cover the island from Kuta to CandiDasa to Bedugul, they even have transport over to Lombok. The prices are cheap and the ride is a more comfortable and more reliable than a bemo. There are offices in each town with a station in it, and the staff or very helpful. Plus while on the bus you get to meet a whole bunch of great people who might be going to the same place as you. Give it a try. It is the best mode of budget travel on the more..
