Electric car rental in Jimbaran starts at $29 per day (as of August 2026), with charged cars delivered to your resort or villa — often within half an hour of the airport corridor. Jimbaran is only about 7 km from Ngurah Rai Airport, which makes it one of the fastest areas in Bali to get behind the wheel of an EV after landing. Message WhatsApp +62 811-2859-0000 with your dates and hotel; a firm quote usually lands within minutes.
Families and food-lovers pick Jimbaran for the calm bay, the seafood grills on the sand and the short hop to both the airport and the Bukit. It is also, quietly, one of the most EV-friendly bases on the island: you sit inside Bali’s southern charging belt, with the airport’s own charging station a few minutes up the road. Here is what to know about distances, charging and picking the right family-sized electric car.
How Far Is Jimbaran from Bali Airport?
Jimbaran is approximately 7 km from Ngurah Rai International Airport, and the drive typically takes 15–25 minutes. It is among the shortest airport runs in Bali — shorter than Seminyak, Sanur or Canggu — and needs no toll, although the Bali Mandara toll (Rp14,000 for cars, since April 2024) is handy for onward hops toward Nusa Dua or Sanur depending on your route.
| From Jimbaran to | Distance | Typical drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Bali Airport (DPS) | approx. 7 km | 15–25 min |
| Kuta | approx. 8–10 km | 20–35 min |
| Nusa Dua | approx. 8–12 km | 20–40 min |
| Uluwatu | approx. 15–18 km | 30–50 min |
| Seminyak | approx. 15–17 km | 35–65 min |
| Sanur | approx. 18–22 km | 35–65 min |
| Ubud | approx. 40–45 km | 75–125 min |
The airport row reflects verified route data; the rest are corridor estimates for planning. Peak traffic (roughly 8–10 AM and 4–7 PM) can stretch times by 40–60 percent — the sunset run back from Seminyak is the classic offender.
Where Can You Charge an EV near Jimbaran?
Jimbaran sits in the best-covered charging corridor in Bali. Ngurah Rai Airport itself has a confirmed public charging station minutes away, ITDC Nusa Dua’s chargers are a short drive south, and the Kuta side — including Beachwalk Shopping Center — is confirmed just north. You are never far from a plug here.
Island-wide, Bali reached 230 public charging units across 164 locations by end-2025, and the density is highest exactly where Jimbaran guests drive. Costs stay small: PLN fast charging adds a Rp933.22 per kWh service fee (capped at Rp25,000 per session), ultra-fast runs Rp1,133.22 per kWh (capped at Rp57,000), and the electricity price is capped at Rp2,467 per kWh. Typical Jimbaran habits:
- Top up during a Nusa Dua beach morning or a Kuta mall visit — the charge finishes before the errand does.
- Hotel and villa sockets handle slow overnight charging for low-mileage days; ask your front desk first.
- A single charge covers days of bay-and-Bukit driving — the Wuling Air EV’s real-world 200–300 km range (variant dependent) dwarfs Jimbaran’s typical daily 20–40 km.
- Day trip to Ubud? Around 80–90 km round trip — no mid-route charge needed, though Denpasar’s cluster of confirmed stations sits on the way if you want one.
