Whether the transfer is included depends on your tier. With Bali Fast Track Airport, operating since 2009, the Essential $105 tier is airport assistance only, while Premium $500 and VVIP $1500 include a private luxury-car transfer from DPS directly to your Bali hotel or villa, with your driver waiting inside the terminal.
This is the single most common question our team fields before an arrival, and it deserves a clear answer rather than fine print. If you have booked, or are about to book, a fast-track or VIP arrival at Denpasar’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), the honest reply is: it depends entirely on which tier you choose. Below, drawing on more than a decade greeting travellers at this airport, we walk through exactly what is bundled at each level, how the handover works, and how far your Bali airport transfer actually goes.
Is the airport transfer included with Bali fast track?
The short version: not at every tier. Our Essential ($105) service covers the arrival experience itself, priority-lane immigration escort, meet-and-greet, and porter and baggage coordination, but the car to your accommodation is not bundled at that price. It is designed for guests who already have a driver arranged or a hotel shuttle waiting outside.
Step up to Premium ($500) or VVIP ($1500) and the answer flips to a firm yes. Both of these tiers include a private luxury-car transfer from DPS directly to your Bali hotel or villa. There is no separate booking, no scrambling for a taxi rank, and no surge pricing after a long-haul flight. The private luxury car is part of the package, coordinated the moment your flight lands. This is what makes the bali airport transfer included fast track question worth asking before you book rather than after.
| Tier | Price (USD, per person) | Fast-track assistance | Private car to hotel/villa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $100 | Included | Not included |
| Premium | $500 | Included | Included (arrival) |
| VVIP | $1500 | Included | Included (round-trip) |
Children under 2 travel free across all tiers. Full details for each level sit on our pricing page, but the transfer rule above is the part guests most want confirmed.
Do I arrange a driver separately, or is it part of the package?
On Premium and VVIP, you arrange nothing separately. That is the entire point of an end-to-end concierge. When you book, you give us your hotel or villa address, and we assign both a greeter and a driver as a single coordinated handover. One of the reasons Bali Fast Track Airport has kept the same handover process since 2009 is that splitting greeting and driving across two disconnected vendors is exactly where arrivals go wrong, guests end up standing outside, phone in hand, hunting for a car that was booked through a different company.
With us, the greeter who escorts you through immigration physically connects you with your driver. It is one continuous chain from the aerobridge to the back seat of your car. If you chose Essential and later decide you want the car after all, you can upgrade before arrival, and a luxury-car or limousine option can be added for premium arrivals.
Will someone be waiting inside the terminal right after customs?
Yes. This is the detail that reassures nervous first-time arrivals most. Your greeter meets you inside, well before you reach the public arrivals hall, and on Premium and VVIP the transfer driver is coordinated to be ready inside the terminal too, connecting directly with the greeter. You are never released into the crowd to fend for yourself and then asked to find a stranger holding a sign.
Because the driver waits inside the terminal and links up with your greeter, the handover happens under one roof. You walk out already accompanied, your bags already with a porter, and your car ready to go. We built it this way because, as we often tell guests, the airport is the first vibe that sets your whole Bali holiday.
Is the transfer a shared shuttle or a private car?
Always a private car, never a shared shuttle. This matters more than it sounds. A shared shuttle means waiting for other passengers to clear immigration, load bags, and agree on drop-off order, which can add an hour to what should be a smooth exit. Our included transfers use private cars precisely so there is no waiting for anyone but you. The vehicle is yours from DPS to your door.
For guests who want to travel in something more special, a Bali airport limousine and other luxury-car upgrades are available on premium arrivals. Whether you keep the standard private car or upgrade, you are the only party in the vehicle.
Is the transfer included both ways, or only on arrival?
It depends on the tier again. Premium ($500) includes the private car on arrival, from the airport to your hotel or villa. VVIP ($1500) covers round-trip, so your departure transfer back to DPS at the end of your stay is included too. If you know you want a seamless bookend to your holiday, a car waiting on your last morning as well as your first, VVIP is the tier that removes that final logistics worry. Guests who only need the inbound leg are perfectly served by Premium.
How far does the included transfer go, Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu?
The included private transfer reaches the destinations most international guests are heading to. Common drop-offs include Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu and Nusa Dua, whether that is a beach club district, a rice-terrace retreat, or a clifftop resort in the south. When you book, we confirm your specific address so the driver is routed correctly and the fare is settled inside your package with no surprise top-up on arrival.
If your villa sits somewhere unusually remote, our team will simply flag it at booking so expectations are clear from the start, part of the same transparent, since-2015 approach that keeps the greeter-to-driver chain honest and predictable.
Do I still find my driver myself if the transfer is included?
No, and this is the reassurance we want every guest to carry onto the plane. On Premium and VVIP you do not go looking for anyone. Your greeter hands you to your driver personally. There is no app to open, no meeting point to memorise, no queue to join. You are escorted the whole way, which is exactly what an included transfer should mean and, honestly, what it too often does not mean with cheaper piecemeal bookings elsewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
If I book fast track / VIP arrival at DPS, is the airport transfer to my hotel included?
It depends on the tier. Essential ($105) is fast-track arrival assistance only, so the car is not bundled. Premium ($500) and VVIP ($1500) both include a private luxury-car transfer from DPS directly to your Bali hotel or villa, arranged as part of the package.
Do I arrange a driver separately or is it part of the package?

Will someone be waiting inside the terminal right after customs?
Yes. Your greeter meets you inside the terminal, before the public arrivals hall, and on Premium and VVIP the transfer driver is coordinated to be ready inside too, connecting directly with the greeter. You are never left to find your own way out.
Is the transfer a shared shuttle or a private car?
It is always a private car, never a shared shuttle. Private cars are used specifically so there is no waiting for other passengers, the vehicle is yours alone from DPS to your accommodation.
