Likewise, the 1-hour ride to the city centre will cost €24 for up to 3 people and €105 with a minivan.

Our airport taxis can take you everywhere at any time of the day or night. Booking with Welcome Pickups means you have a driver who is guaranteed to be available. This is particularly important if you arrive very early or late, don’t want to wait outside in hot weather, or if your destination is far from the airport.

Where to get a taxi at Yogyakarta Airport?
There are two terminals at Yogyakarta Airport, right next to each other. Signs in the airport will guide you to the outdoor taxi rank located just outside the terminals. You can also book a ride with local taxi companies such as Grab or Gojek by waiting in queues at their booths in the Arrivals Hall, and the staff can tell you their company’s pickup point.
If you book your Yogyakarta Airport taxi with Welcome Pickups, you’ll skip the queues at the taxi rank and won’t have to wait for an available vehicle. Instead, your trained driver will be waiting for you and ready to take you to your destination.
Useful tips for getting an Yogyakarta Airport taxi
- Official taxis are at the taxi rank outside the terminal. Don't accept rides from those who approach you offering a ride inside the terminal, as you may be overcharged or ride with an unlicensed driver.
- There are no fixed rates for taxis to or from Yogyakarta Airport. The price will vary depending on the distance and the company you travel with. If you have time, you can ask for several quotes and choose the best offer.
- Ensure the taximeter has been reset at the start of your journey to avoid being overcharged unless you booked in advance.
- If you plan to pay by card, confirm with your driver that they accept this payment method before the ride starts.
- If paying with cash, ensure you have small denominations in Indonesian rupees.
- Tipping is not mandatory, but you can do so if your driver is friendly and helpful. Giving 10% of the fare is a good tip.
- Many taxi drivers don't speak fluent English, so make sure your destination's address is written in Indonesian, or use a translation app on your phone to help avoid misunderstandings.
- Use navigation apps like Google Maps to follow along and ensure the driver takes the most efficient route.
- To keep costs low, you can opt for a ride-share via the Grab and Gojek apps to share a ride with other passengers if you have extra time.
- Pre-booking your airport taxi ensures a fixed rate and zero wait time for an available driver.
- Always ask for a receipt at the end of the journey. You will need it to file a complaint or retrieve something you forgot in the vehicle.
- Wait times are longer during peak times and the busiest travel season. Pre-booking your airport taxi can save you time.
Pre-book a Yogyakarta Airport taxi to your hotel
Even for the seasoned traveller, navigating public transportation in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language comes with challenges. Add the tiredness of the journey and luggage to carry, and you’ll be wishing you could just get to your accommodation as soon as possible.
As Yogyakarta Airport is a new airport and is far from the city centre, the only available public transport option is a train to the city, which means another taxi transfer to your accommodation. You’ll find limited bus options if your destination is not exactly in the city centre.
Booking a door-to-door Yogyakarta Airport taxi to your hotel can save you many hassles. You won’t have to carry your luggage on various modes of transport, and you won’t encounter a language barrier because your friendly, professional driver will speak fluent English. And as our service is available 24/7, there is no need to stress about schedules, which is exactly what holidays are about—smooth and stress-free experiences.
