Hi From Bali, for transportation, there is Grab or Gojek apps. You can still pay cash. They are super cheap and safe and you can also choose the size of the car. Plus, you can book them for blocks of say 6 hours. Nusa Dua to Ubud could run below 40usd in mid-season.

Thanks Outgoing for the review. Not impressive indeed. Going there for Dinner in July...pricy but seems to be special. If it's bonvoy, we were impressed by the Westin in Ubud. And if it's just for a night, the Shtala is super reasonnable for the area.
