Group buses park in the dedicated Bus and Tour Coach Parking at DPS
The Bus and Tour Coach Parking at Denpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) handles larger vehicles bringing groups to the International and Domestic terminals. This area is set up for tour buses and charter coaches, so drivers get space for turning and waiting that regular car parks can’t handle. If you are arriving with a group package or organized tour, this is usually the first stop before anyone even sees the terminal doors.
This parking zone sits on the landside road system that feeds both the International and Domestic terminal drop-off areas. Most tour operators schedule arrivals around 2–3 hours before international departures, so buses often wait here briefly while guides sort tickets and luggage. For arrivals, coaches typically line up based on flight time and meeting-point instructions given in advance by the operator.
Payment is usually handled by the tour company or bus operator under a contract or per-entry fee, so individual passengers don’t pay on the spot. If you’re traveling with a group, confirm your meeting time and coach description the day before, since multiple buses can be in the same parking area at peak periods around afternoon and evening departures. Keep the driver’s phone or WhatsApp number handy if your guide shares it.
Accessibility varies by vehicle, since this parking is for buses and tour coaches rather than private cars. If you need extra assistance getting from the coach to the International or Domestic terminal, ask your organizer in advance so they can arrange porters or wheelchairs at DPS. Many groups use this parking as the main rendezvous point after baggage claim, so agree on a clear time and landmark near the bus bay.
Tip: Take a quick photo of your bus and its plate number when you arrive in the Bus and Tour Coach Parking; it makes it much easier to find the right coach in the crowd after a long flight or a busy day of touring Bali.
