How to Saving Money When you Visit Bali

It's a interesting thing when you have a plan to vacation in Bali. Bali is one of the dream tourist destinations in the world, no wonder tourists from all over the country want to have the opportunity to vacation there. But you need to pay attention to your budget before going to Bali, so as not to be wasteful, and can enjoy the holiday effectively.

Flight Prices

Find a flight that fits your budget. Airlines now use a term called “dynamic pricing” which means that prices vary based on current demand. This is a system for tracking how often you look at flights online so they know you’re interested in a destination before you book, especially Bali. The more you look for flights, the more likely you are to pay. It’s best to clear your browser cookies before you commit to booking. This way you’ll be more likely to get the best prices during the low season in Bali (around September - April).

Visa

For many visitors to Bali, there is a visa fee of around $50 and a new tourist tax that must be paid before you can enter the country. It is easier to visit Bali on a budget with an extra $50 in your pocket. This fee is expected to be removed soon for Australian passport holders too, but for now, it remains in place.

Villas

Spending the night in a tropical paradise in a luxury villa is the number one expense in Bali which is accommodation and budget travel usually doesn't cover a three-bedroom villa in Seminyak or Kerobokan. The good news is that guesthouses are much cheaper than villas and you can stay in the most lively parts of the island in these accommodations. The guesthouses often look great and almost all have free WiFi, Like Grand Kesambi Villas. You can enjoy the atmosphere of Bali with a frugal budget.

Local Transport

You will get a lot of advice from locals to rent a scooter if you have an international driving license. Mielproperty prefers to recommend Grab or Go-Jek (like Uber) for short trips and renting a car and driver for long trips or to visit many different places in one day. It may be a little more expensive than a scooter but much cheaper than taking a taxi or renting a rental car at home and much safer.

Use Cash

You can use cards in Bali although you may find that your favourite beach bar only takes cash, but it's not very convenient and many shops will add a percentage fee (even though they shouldn't) if you want to pay by card. We always recommend you to use cash in Bali. It is more efficient.
