Uber Bali
UPDATE: Bali bans Uber
Uber Bali is available in the South only at this moment although it operates in a somewhat grey area legally (follow-link above to learn more).
Uber is limited to Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Tuban (including airport), Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, Canggu, Sanur and Denpasar. Other areas are currently not available although there are stories of passengers travelling from airport to Ubud with an Uber driver.
Current Uber Bali Promo; free rides from and to Denpasar when using the Uber promo code FREEWEEKDPS.
- Maximum of 10 trips for current or new users between 8-14 February 2016.
- Applicable to all rides to or from the blue area above, up to Rp.100,000 per ride.
Uber Bali Cash payment
Uber is at this moment experimenting with a cash payment system as of 3 December 2015. At the end of the ride you just pay your driver the cash amount.
This is how it goes;
- Go to the menu and select Payment tab.
- Choose ‘CASH’ as the option for payment.
- Request for a ride.
- Confirm the pickup location and your preferred method of payment.
- Pay the amount shown in-app at the end of the ride directly to the driver in cash.

Three steps for cash payment
This is a trial only at this moment only available in Bali. You will still need to setup an account with Uber before you can use the cash payment system. To setup an account you need a valid credit card … Go figure 😉

Haloo Harley
Skarang jaman nya udah modern bos.. Technologi makin canggih.. Uber salah satu transport yg sdh online dgn tarif murah.. Ini bagus bagi semua yg punya harta berjalan ( mobil ) daripada nongkrong digarase gak ada pemasukan.. Ini sbuah trobosan baru untk sbuah lapangan pekerjaan. Dijaman yg sdh modern sperti skarang ini qta gak mengikuti yahhh itu artinya gak mau mengikuti jaman.. Ikuti perubahan krna itu terbaik untk qta semua…
So wait….UBER IS ALLOWED at DPS Airport?? VERY strange, because in MOST Asian airports and MANY USA Airports I KNOW that UBER service is BLOCKED.
I’d appreciate if there’s any DIRECT experience with UBER pick-up AT DPS Airport.
Hello Harley, Uber picks up passengers from the airport although you need to book in advance as they don’t standby at the airport. Sarbagita (public bus) now enters the Bali airport as well as of 17 September 2015.
