Yes, Grab ride-sharing service is widely available and commonly used across Batam, making it a convenient option for personal travel during your free time.

The I Hotel Baloi package already includes daily breakfast, a seafood lunch, and high tea, along with ferry tickets and land transfers. During your free time in Batam, you should budget for additional meals, beverages, shopping for souvenirs or local products, and any optional activities or attractions you wish to visit outside the city tour. Personal expenses such as massages or tips should also be considered.
Taxis in Batam generally operate on a fixed-fare basis rather than meters, especially for tourists. It's advisable to negotiate the fare with the driver before starting your journey to avoid misunderstandings. While they offer direct travel, ride-sharing apps like Grab are often perceived as more transparent and potentially more cost-effective for shorter distances. Always choose reputable taxi operators or book through your hotel for added safety and reliability.
