Bali Getting Around
Taxis in Bali
Taxis in Bali are plentiful, especially in tourist areas such as Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur, Nusa Dua and Ubud. Hailing a cab can be as simple as stepping into the street and raising your hand when you see one pass by.

Exploring Bali by as many means as possible (car, motorbike, boat, helicopter etc) will give you the best chance of seeing it all. One company has some unique vehicles, that allow you to explore the quiet backlanes of rural Bali, as well as offroad trails, used only by locals.

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.

Paradise beaches on the Bukit Bali
Southern Bali is where 95% of tourists come to and spend their time. The most southerly tip of mainland Bali is the Bukit Peninsula. The Bukit is way behind Kuta / Legian / Seminyak / Sanur as far as development, but is getting popular, with people outside of the surfing industry.

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 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.

New motorbike in Bali
For a while now I have been thinking about buying a motorbike. Actually I have been thinking about it for 3 years, but couldn’t quite commit on anything I liked. In order for me to own a car or motorbike, I need KITAS, but I can put it in Ika’s name. Motorbike rental is easy and cheap in Bali. I pay 400,000rp per month to rent a new Honda Supra Fit 100CC (Trendy performance with hip-up model). That’s 13,333rp per day, which is not much at all.

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.
