HOW TO GET AROUND IN BALI
Car Hire
You can find a car rental agency in all the major tourist
areas. Prices start from approx US$ 30 a day for a
Suzuki-style jeep (Jimny), and around US$ 45 for a
day for a new kijang jeep. Most of the rental cars
are in decent shape, but you should check thoroughly
before signing any forms. Be sure to always travel
with your international drivers license.
Motor Bike Rental
As with hire cars, you can find bikes for rent almost
everywhere. Prices usually start from around US$ 6 a day for
standard 125 cc motorbike. Scooters affectionately called
'Bebek's' (Ducks), start at round US$ 5 per day. Like
renting a car, you should always check the bike before
parting with your cash. In Indonesia you have to wear a
helmet by law and carry an International drivers license!
Bicycle/Mountain bike
Cycling can be a cheap and enjoyable way to get about, although
you do have to be quite fit to ride around the central, hilly
regions. The northern coastal roads are ideal for longer trips.
You can find bike rental shops in all the main tourist sports.
Bemo
Public transport mini-vans; by far the cheapest way to travel,
although not the most comfortable!
Tours
A very relaxing way to see the sights, organized tours relieve
you of trying to navigate your way around. On the down side,
however, you do have to follow itineraries, so spur of the
moment sight-seeing is not an option. Tour can booked at
any of the travel affices or agents scattered around the island
