Get Ready For Bali

Some basic important things you should check is as follow:

1) TRANSPORTATION
When you reached Bali Airport, what is next. Whether you just go to the taxi counter and ask them to drive you to your hotel, or you made a booking for a Bali car rental, and their staff has been waiting for you at arrival gate, and after that you can go directly to your hotel with your car rental?

Having a car rental in Bali you can go anywhere and anytime inside Bali island, including in Jimbaran area, you would like, freely. Without car rental, and just ride a taxi, it will very costly and it is not flexible to explore the island.

Please be noted that it is lack public transportation in Bali. Except the taxi service, it can be say that there is no alternative for public transportation that can be counted on. So the best choice is by renting a car rental. Whether you rent the car the car rental for self driven or with the driver service, once again, renting a car for your holiday in Bali for your daily trip is the best option.

When you decided to rent it for self driven please be sure to bring your international driving license with you. If you have your country of original driving license please bring it too also. Having both of them for your back up is importan. Beside the driving license please be sure you arean experienced driver before you will drive the car outside your country which have some different rules regarding the traffic law or habit, such as the speed limit, road condition, left-hand side driving or the opposite one.

When selecting the car rental in Bali please choose the car that suitable for your group. If you are a solo or a couple traveler it is advised to just rent a small 4 seater car such us the the Daihatsu Ayla. If you are a member of family with two children renting this car is also advised. The car it self is available in both manual and automatic gear.

If you are a family with three children, of with your friend more than at least five persons than we highly advised you taking a bigger car such as the Toyota Avanza or the Toyota Rush. Toyota Avanza is great for a family trip and the Toyota Rush is good for deeper exploring the island.

All cars mentioned above is available in both manual and automatic gear box so if you consider to just renting a car in Bali by self driven you can choose between the manul gear or the automatic one.

2) ACCOMODATION
Make sure sure booked for hotel before you leave for Bali. Maybe, you can avoid this step, and just show to a hotel to book a from. But, you should do that in low season only. Do not try to do that if it is under high season (July-August) and peak season NEW YEAR, as mostly there will be no room available. If there is, the price is not that cheap, or raised significantly. So it is highly advisable to make a booking far in advance to make sure the availability of the hotel room around that peak season.
