Self-Driving: Car Rental In Bali.

You may be wondering if it is worth renting a car and driving it yourself around Bali. There are some important things to consider if you are thinking of a Bali car rental self-drive.

‍Self-driving will give you the freedom to explore wherever you like on the island at your own pace, and as such will be an attractive option for many. Especially when your are planning to have sightseeing tours every day during the couse of your stay or traveling from hotel to hotel around the island.

If you are picking up the car at the airport and return it when leaving the island, it´s possibly a wise and cheap choice to rent a self-driving car. However, choosing a Bali self-drive car rental has a number of problems you need to be aware of.
‍
Firstly, you will need to have an International Drivers Licence if you plan on self-driving in Bali. If you are caught without one, you may be fined easily IDR 50,000 or more. It is also highly recommended that you know how to drive a manual vehicle, as automatic vehicles are harder to find in Bali if you rent a car.

Secondly, also keep in mind that in Bali everyone drives on the left, as in the UK, Australia and the rest of Indonesia. If your are used to drive on the left you can obviously strike that issue from the list.
‍
Thirdly, another thing to consider if you are planning to rent a car in Bali and self-drive is the traffic situation. Roads in Bali can get very busy and crowded, especially in the main tourist districts. If you are planning to go to the country side or plan to visit sights and attractions outside the city you need to deal with very narrow and winding roads. Combined with heavy rainfalls this can be very stressful to people visiting the island who are not used to these conditions.

Finally, if you are unfamiliar with Bali then getting around can be confusing without a guide, and you may not find any English-speaking locals to help you if you need directions.

My final tip for Bali car rental:

Is car rental recommended for Bali sightseeing?
Yes! Hiring a car is the most convenient way for getting around Bali and will work out much cheaper than relying on taxis or rideshare apps. But please consider the downside of booking a self-driving car - especially without booking a private driver, explained in my article.

What are the benefits of Bali car rental with a private driver?
Hiring a private driver will take the hassle out of navigating the busy roads and traffic in Bali, plus drivers are knowledgeable about the island and can act as your own private tour guide, allowing you to relax and focus on enjoying the scenery and the journey.

Ultimately, if you are planning to travel around the island every day and want to pick up and return your car at the airport, the most flexible and cheap way coming around the island is by renting a self-driving car.

But if you consider to make a few days sightseeing and receive valuable information from a local balinese then I heavily recommend you always go with a Bali car rental service with a private driver and english speaking tourguide when exploring the island, for peace of mind and a more enjoyable holiday experience.
