Taxi / Grab / Gojek
It is very popular in Indonesia to travel by cheap taxis, however, especially when travelling from the airport, the prices are relatively high as only special licensed taxis can travel in this direction.
However, you can take any taxi from the city centre to the airport as well as cheaper Grab / Gojek cars.
It is generally cheaper to use the Grab / Gojek mobile app than regular taxis. We always recommend comparing prices on both apps.
The Grab / Gojek station is right in the arrivals hall, where staff will help you find where the cars stop.
The average prices from the airport to the city centre are as follows:
- 280 000 idr - Grab and Gojek
- 350 000 idr - Taxi
When travelling from Yogyakarta city centre to the airport:
- 200 000 idr - Grab a Gojek
- 310 000 idr - Taxi
Minibuses
Alternative transport to downtown Yogyakarta is provided by minibuses and small buses from several carriers, the largest of which is DAMRI.
Upon arrival, you will see the counters of each carrier where you can find out the timetable and buy a ticket. The bus stand is just outside the arrivals building.
DAMRI buses run to the centre on two routes. Fares are the same to all destinations and cost 80 000 idr.
