4 friends landed in Bali and wanted to get a taxi into Kuta. After negotiating a price down to a more realistic price. 1, mil ($100 AUD) down to 500 thousand ($50 AUD) ONE WAY. it was settled. Then at the destination (Memorial) the driver demanded 500 Thou EACH or he will have them arrested. Possible arguments with police etc wasting time.
They paid as they were on a limited time in Port. How would you get over this problem. possible - Arrange a price then pay up front before you leave the port. or arrange a driver. - I would suggest you arrange a driver. A van full would be about 500thou both ways.
