Uber in Bali – a review by a first time user.

Ever travelled to Bali and found accessing fairly priced and reliable transport an issue?
You may want to consider the use of smartphone apps like Uber, GoJek (GoCar) or even My Bluebird Taxi that can take the language issues out of booking transport and save you enough money for use on more enjoyable outlets.
My experience was that using Uber saved me between 200,000 Rp and 300,000 Rp over 2 return trips from Kuta to Sanur.

Being unable to leave your hotel for 24 hours can be a challenge for some – but – with some minimal preparations and the right attitude, it can be a real pleasure.
