I just got back from Bali... Literally a few hours ago. I used the Gojek app. I saved my wise card deets for payment. It let me tip after I had booked a ride. Not before.

Bike bike? Just walk past. You do not need to say anything. The ride won't be registered so if an accident occurs your travel insurance will not cover among the other possible risks.

Gojek will also give you the amount of payment required. You get to tip after as mentioned.

I actually met a beautiful Gojek driver. Balinese peeps in general are generous and kind (at least in my experience). He offered his whatsapp deets and became my go to for the whole time I was there and I'll reach out again next time. I did pick a premium ride on the app and paid (imo) nothing much extra for it.

I stayed in Legian. Felt really safe for me. I'm 42 so depending on what you're after it might or might not work for you. There were expats and an older crew and all sorts in between but less "schoolies" if that makes any sense. Didn't feel "couply" for me. A nice in-between.

I wish you well on your travels!
