I'm arriving at the airport late at night and heading to Ubud. What's the best way to get there?

I'm arriving at Ngurah Rai Airport around 11 PM next week. I'm planning to go straight to my Ubud accommodation, but I'm wondering if Grab or Gojek are easy to find at that time. Or would it be more comfortable to book a pickup in advance? I'm also curious about the price difference.

If you're arriving at 11 PM, I really recommend pre-booking a pickup service. Ubud is about 40km from the airport, which takes 2 to 2.5 hours. Taking Grab or Gojek for a late-night arrival has a few drawbacks. First, app calls may not go through well or take a long time during late hours. Second, because it's a long distance, drivers might refuse the ride. Third, after dealing with visa procedures and collecting your luggage, searching for an unfamiliar route and calling through an app can be stressful in itself. If you pre-book a pickup through travel booking sites like Klook or BaliTok, a driver will already be waiting for you after you arrive at the airport. The fare is set in advance, you can choose vehicle size even if you have lots of luggage, there's no language barrier, and most importantly, it's safe and convenient. The cost may be slightly higher than calling an app directly, but considering the inconvenience and risks of late-night arrival, it's worth it. In your situation, I'd recommend first looking into pickup reservations, and if it's a budget concern, then consider Grab as a backup option.
