How do I pay for Grab in Bali?

You can attached a credit card or travel card to make automatic payments, but it's also fine to pay for all of GRAB's services using cash. Another reason we love using GRAB (especially for transport) is for the safety element. You have the option to share your rides, so that friends and family can track your movements.
