Metered taxis in Lombok
Lombok has two companies providing radio despatched taxi services, both use meters (taksi berargo).
BlueBird (Lombok Taksi) and Express Taksi can only drop off at the Selaparang Airport terminals in Lombok and cannot pickup passengers inside the airport grounds. This situation is apparently going to change when the new airport opens, please see the detail on Airport taxis above.
A metered taxi from the Bandara Internasional Lombok location to Senggigi cost will be approximately Rp 125,000-155,000, to the city of Mataram/Ampenan maybe around Rp 75,000-100,000. It is understood that the Airport Taksi will commence using meters for journeys from the new airport. Journey time from the principal tourism precinct of Senggigi can be anticipated to require 70-120 minutes depending upon traffic with a normal travel time of around 75 minutes.
It is also understood that normal metered taxi access will be facilitated for arriving passengers to supplement the Airport taxi services that have been relocated across from Selaparang airport. There may be a supplimentary charge system applied by the issuance of prepaid supplementary distance based pre-paid vouchers, with set charges varied by destination, such as that used at Jakarta's (CGK) airport. There is no indication of that being put into practice at the commencement of operations in October 2011.
Some of the larger hotels offer pick up transfers to and from the airport. You will need to book ahead for this.
Private operators often offer transport services at the airport and any such transactions should be approached with caution to ensure that their fees and vehicle are appropriate. It should also be understood that many of the private transport operators are very likely to discreetly seek a commission from the hotel they take you to. These payments are sometimes sought even if you have already made a prior booking at the destination hotel. Often these operators offer a sincere and valuable service and work hard using their local knowledge to assist in finding their guest suitable accommodation to their needs. Some however are just touts and opportunists, accordingly discretion and common sense should be used in becoming involved with one of these guides or private transport operators.
No parking fee should be payable on exit from the Lombok Airport unless the set time parking fee has been exceeded. Charges are displayed on an information board at the booth. Currently no fee is being sought to enter or leave the new airport by road as they do not seem to have finished installing the necessary ticket booth facilities.
The passenger is responsible for paying the airport parking fee if the taxi is entering the airport.
