Rental Car Bali
Looking to rent a car in Bali. Any Ideas? Might be to expensive?
I've had a driver the two other times I visited. Just seems like It would be more fun to explore and get hotels along the way. Not have to worry about driver. |
I wouldn't rent a car in Bali - you've seen how they drive. I'd be worried about hitting someone on a motorbike!
And hiring a driver, you don't need to worry about the driver - they know Bali and have places to stay inexpensively (or free with extended family members). |
I did rent a car one time for a drive up to the north.... Wish I had continued to use a driver-- lack of road signs, poor roads, etc.
I would not do it again... Cost is about equal |
zoso, I agree that having your own car would give you more flexibility (and it's not too expensive), but I think the negatives outweigh the positives.
Traffic regulations are loosely interpreted; driving customs incomprehensible; swarms of undisciplined and unpredictable motorcyclists -- both local and foreign -- are everywhere; parking is complicated; and driving after dark is downright dangerous. If you should have an accident, even if it's not your fault, you could be in for a world of hurt under the murky legal system. |
Hire a driver. Not expensive, support the locals. Bali traffic is crazy.

Thank you all!
