To be able to drive around Bali it is necessary to have an International Driving License that is requested in the traffic office of your country of origin. You will have to pay the corresponding fees and then you will be able to have the License for one year.
Renting a car with driver
However, the most recommended option is to rent a car with a driver, since the roads are not well maintained and during the rainy season they can become impossible. In addition, the Balinese are not very respectful of road signs and sometimes it can even be dangerous. Renting a car with driver costs about 50 euros per day approximately. The price includes the hours of the driver, gasoline and guide.
Private buses and tours
There are different agencies in Bali that offer bus tours around Bali and daily excursions in cars with a local driver. If you want to ride in an air-conditioned bus, you can do so with Perama Tours, which covers a limited network from Kuta to Padangbai, passing through Sanur and Ubud.
Taxis in Bali
In Bali the official cab service is only easy to find in the Kuta area, since in the rest of the island taxis are usually private. For 30 euros you can find a cab that will take you all day to the places you want with gasoline included. The price is very similar to car rental, and you usually pay per advanced.
It is a very good way to get around
It is important to note that sometimes taxi drivers want to rip off tourists by saying prices much more expensive than they are. That is why it is important to agree on the price of the ride before getting in the taxi and ask for the fares from more than one cab driver. If you can hire an official cab company from the hotel, all the better.
