There is a SIM card counter at the airport, so please purchase and install it there.
SIM counter outside the terminal 3 lobby
7GB 5GB 200,000 Rupiah (about 1600 yen)
* We recommend that you rent a Wifi router because Japanese mobile phones are often not SIM-free. In that case, it is more stress-free to rent in Japan even if it is a little expensive.
Moving by hire
Advantage: Safe, comfortable, English spoken
Disadvantages: expensive
How to Use:
After immigration, there is a higher counter when you exit Customs and enter the lobby.
There are several booths. Please apply there. There will be a fixed price and meter price, but if it is SILVER BIRD, there is no problem with the meter. The fixed price is expensive, and passenger cars with poor quality may be allocated.
Hire Taxi booth
Hire taxi booth outside terminal 3
Even if you go outside, there is reception, but the price is the same, so if you apply in the lobby you can avoid extra trouble.

You can choose BB (Blue Bird) or others, but please choose BB.
With this numbered ticket, cross the pedestrian crossing.

The driver is waiting for you at the tent at the pedestrian crossing. It is important to pass on the hotel name and insist on using the meter.
Electric car
There is an electric car booth. It seems that the price does not change much, but there are few vehicles, so there might be a long wait.

It is discovered by entering the time, destination and number of people at the ticket machine, inserting the card, and entering the pin number.
SHIA to BNI CITY (Sudirman Baru) Station
It seems that other companies’ cards can be used for online sales. There are also discounts. However, it is not recommended because of delay.
There is a free RAILINK station (SHIA) between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Tricks
If you don’t have a pin number or don’t want to use a card at a ticket vending machine to prevent skimming, say “Sign Only” in the information and you will be issued a ticket there.
Have your ticket barcode read when entering or leaving the platform.

Although there is a single ticket, it is a limited time transportation card that can be charged for 7 days. A deposit of IDR 15,000 is charged and can be refunded at the counter after use.
Automatic ticket machines are not popular and there are long lines at the counter.
