FAQ
Yes! Gojek supports foreign phone numbers (including +886 Taiwan, +1 US/CA, +44 UK, etc.). Download the app, enter your number to receive an OTP, and you're ready to go. Payment options include cash (recommended), credit card (Visa / Mastercard) and GoPay e-wallet.
Yes, Visa and Mastercard are accepted. It's still a good idea to carry Indonesian Rupiah cash, as some drivers prefer it and cash avoids foreign transaction fees (typically around 1.5%).
Bali Airport has a dedicated Gojek Customer Lounge. After clearing arrivals, walk to the lounge and book your ride through the app — it's completely legal. Set your destination in the app before arriving at the lounge for a smoother experience. Watch the tutorial video above (shown when Airport is selected as origin).
No-Gojek Zones are areas where local taxi unions have banned ride-hailing apps. Attempting to pick up passengers there can result in fines for drivers or harassment of passengers. Key zones include: Ubud town centre, Uluwatu temple area, Tanah Lot entrance, and Padang Bai port. Bali Airport is NOT a No-Gojek Zone — it has an official Gojek Customer Lounge.
Prices are similar. It's worth opening both apps to compare quotes before booking. In Bali, Gojek generally has more drivers available, so wait times are shorter, and peak surcharges tend to be slightly lower than Grab.
Search for "Gojek" on the iOS App Store or Google Play. It's available worldwide. We recommend downloading and registering before you travel so you're ready when you land.
Gojek is Indonesia's largest ride-hailing platform, similar to Uber or Grab. In Bali, it offers two main services: GoCar (car) and GoRide (motorbike taxi). It uses transparent app-based pricing — you see the estimated fare before you book, with no haggling.
GoCar vs GoRide — which should I choose?
GoCar (car): Best for luggage, air-conditioning, or if you're not comfortable on a motorbike. Costs roughly 2–3× more than GoRide.
GoRide (motorbike): Faster in traffic, much cheaper, great for short trips. Requires wearing a helmet.
Is GoRide safe?
Gojek drivers are insured. For those unfamiliar with motorbike riding, GoCar is the safer choice — especially at night or on longer journeys.
🚫 No-Gojek Zone Guide
No-Gojek Zones are enforced by local taxi associations (Taksi Bali) in Bali's most popular tourist areas. Ride-hailing inside these zones can get drivers penalised or passengers hassled.
Main No-Gojek Zones
Ubud town centre: Jalan Monkey Forest and the area around Ubud Palace. Walk to the outskirts of Jalan Raya Ubud to hail a Gojek, or ask your accommodation to arrange a local taxi.
Uluwatu: Around Single Fin and Uluwatu Temple. Use accommodation transfers or a private driver.
Tanah Lot: No drop-off at the entrance. Walk to the main road before booking a pick-up.
Padang Bai port: Controlled by the local taxi union — Gojek can barely operate near the port.
Parts of Canggu / Sanur: Informal restrictions near Batu Bolong, Echo Beach, and Sanur beachfront. Walk away from the main tourist strip before booking.
