Bali Car Rental
Renting a car for a 3 day road trip in East Bali
On the morning of the 27th, the weather was slightly overcast. Having a busy house with the pembantu, mother in-law stopping in, wife, kid, & friends, I felt rushed, but immediately found a car rental place (Bali Puspa) on Jl. Dhyana Pura open. Actually the guys know me, and told me they have 7 cars, all unrented. Last year after December 15th, they were all rented.

Damage control in Legian Bali
Renting a car to explore Bali, is the way to go in my opinion. You have to watch out for yourself though, and my mind goes back to one little fender bender I had back in 2004.

Driving in Bali
Driving in Bali isn’t the huge task it might seem on arrival. There are plenty of places to rent a car cheaply, and qucikly and the driving isn’t too challenging.

Parking in Bali
Parking in Bali its not like in the west, where you have parking attendants handing out fines for illegally parked vehicles. In Bali you get away with parking where you want until someone else complains. In high density areas like Jl. Legian at Poppies II, you can park during the day on one side of the street. It will be obvious which side, because all the cars and motorbikes are on that side. You don’t want to park on a zigzag line or block an alley or access way to a shop. Parking a motorbike is easy, given the mobility and size, cars are more tricky. That means when you are looking for a place to park your motorbike, try not to put it in the middle of a space where a car could fit, put it next to the other motorbikes.

Renting a car in Seminyak Bali
Tuesday morning in Seminyak, there were plenty of car rental places with cars. I walked over to a place I’ve used before, Bali Puspa, on Jl. Dhyana Pura, and pointed to the Suzuki Katana in the curb. “I’ll take that thing.” I said. The owner said, “Okay, normally 90,000rp, but I give to you for 85,000rp.” “No way, I said, “How about 65,000rp?” “Okay 70,000rp.” said the guy. It pays to negotiate in Bali.

Renting a car in Legian Bali
Renting your own transport is the best way to explore Bali, in my opinion. This morning my friends from Oregon wanted to join our friend Palu, who was surfing at Green Ball, on the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula. He said to meet him at his house at 8.30am. prblem was most of the car rental places on Jl. Dhyana Pura open around 9am.

Accidents Kill 3000 Annually: Indonesia
You know how it is. You are on hols and hire a motorbike or a vehicle of some kind to do some exploring in Bali. Getting around in Bali needs attention when you are driving and more so than when you are doing it in your home country.

Getting around Bali
Bali is a relatively small island, which makes it very accessible. When you compare Bali to a place like Thailand, Bali has way more to offer people on a short term holiday. Both places have beaches, temples, mountains, nightlife and culture. The things is in Bali you can get from the beach to the mountains in 2 hours driving, whereas in Thailand you are looking at a 1,000km trip by plane.

Hiring a Car in Bali
Bali’s city roads and main highways range from the 4 lane Bypass, to single track potholed lanes, and having a car - no matter how modest - to drive on them can make the difference between exploring and feeling like you are on just another package tour. In short, BaliBlog recommends hiring a car during your visit.
