It will be absolutely different for the transportation you will use, if you are alone with if you are in a group of 4 persons, for example.

Here please find the options how to get around in Bali, as well.

CAR RENTAL

Car rental agencies can be found in all major tourist areas. They are existed at many street side, once again especially at touristic places. Although you can just rent the car from them but it is always safe and convenience if you just make a Bali car rental booking via online booking. Find the trusted-reputable online car rental company in Bali and see the car rental prices directly from the website. You can compare it. You can also bargain it, just maybe they have a special program. On a low season November and February they might be have a discount program. But do not expect under high season July - August and under peak season New Year.

Prices started from USD 18 per day for a mini jeep Suzuki Jimny and about USD 33 per day for a luxury family car Toyota Innova. These price is for a Self drive option. If you want to hire a hire, just please add around USD 10 for 10 hours per day. Please be noted that those 10 hours is for both the driver and car. Unless you rent the car for self driven then you can use it for 24 hours per day.

If you took a With driver option, and 10 hours is not enough for you, then you can take for additional hour, which will cost you around USD 4 - USD 6 per hour. This is including for the driver's meal and tip. So you do not need to spend another dollar. And sometime, you will spend the night in the area of Bali which is far away such as Lovina or Singaraja, then you will be charged for around another USD 15 per night which is including for driver's meals and accommodation. The driver will look for his own hotel room - usually near your hotel - so that we will ready next morning to continue the trip with you.

Based on our car rental customer's database from 10 renters only one of them who took the driver service. The rest, nine of them were prefered to took the car for self driven. Self driven is absolutely give you more freedom and privacy to explore the island than with the driver option.

MOTORBIKE / SCOOTER RENTAL

This option is becoming more popular recently. The fact that the road in Bali is more crowded, so rather than driving a car it is better just ride a motorbike! Of course, if you are in Bali with your family group, renting a car is the best option. The price for an automatic motorbike such as Honda Vario is USD 10 per day or Yamaha NMAX is USD 12 per day. These scooters are the most famous one to be rented in Bali.

But while renting a motor bike is more convenience (and also cheap) we need to let you know that when you are on the road, sometime it is more difficult to ride than renting a car. We meant about the police. Please note that in Indonesia, the driving license of both is different. They have their own driving license between the car and the scooter. While many car renters usually having their own car driving license (either the IDP international driving license or their country of origin driving license) but usually the do not have for the motor bike license!

This will give a chance to the police officer to stop you and ask you some fine if there is regular road checking (although it is rare) and you cannot show them your motor bike driving license.

So which one is suitable for you, either renting a car or a motor bike always prepare your driving license in order to drive in Bali.

BICYCLE / MOUNTAIN BIKE

Cycling can be a cheap and enjoyable way to get around and about. It does, however, take some fitness to ride around the more central and hilly regions. One of the paradise area to get a bicycle rental is in Sanur area, around the famous Danau Tamblingan street.

Another famous area which is very popular to do a cycling in Bali is in Taro, Ubud. It is an sub urban area surrounded by the rice field and villages so it is a good place to do cycling in Bali. When we are in Taro Ubud we will see many cyclist on their own group cycling along the street. When you are in your car or motor bike just drive it slowly, give them a way first with their bicycles.

TOURS

Organised tours relieve you from the hassle of trying to navigate your own way around. You do have to follow itineraries however, so spur of the moment sight-seeing is not an option on these. The minus is you do not have any choice with the itinerary. It usually came from the organizer, and you will have to follow it.

From years to years we see that tourist in Bali is preferred to just organizing their trip by their own. Well we can still find many tourists with their tours arrangement, such as Chinese and Taiwanese, but the tourist from other countries especially from European countries they never take a tour guide. They just make a trip organized by their own and thus they can just rent a car in Bali when ever and where ever they would like!
