What Payment Methods Do Bali Drivers Accept?

Most private drivers in Bali only accept cash payments. While some have started accepting PayPal or Wise transfers, this is still uncommon. Important payment considerations:

  • Never pay 100% upfront – this is a red flag
  • Discuss payment timing before starting your journey
  • Carry enough Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) for the full payment plus any additional expenses
  • Keep small bills for entrance fees, meals, and other incidentals
