Fantastic Driver in Bali

by tilzey

We just had a girls shopping weekend in Bali. While we were there we used a fantastic driver named Sila (pronounced Cee-la). On our first meeting with him we told him all of the places that we wanted to visit and what we were looking to purchase. He came up with several additional places that we should also visit. He never took us to "tourist" shops and helped communicate with the shop owners when they didn't speak English. He also help us to arrange the shipping of the larger items back to our country and brought us packing material for the items that we brought back on the plane. He charges 400,000 rupees (~ $45) a day, a real bargain, and didn't want to take a tip even though he went beyond what he was required to do. On one of the days we used him for a few hours longer than we agreed to, and he wouldn’t take any extra money. He has a late model SUV, which he kept very clean, and...

Ngurah Rai Airport

by bladedragon

The Airport is situated in southern Bali, pretty near to Kuta and Legian area (around 15 minutes by Taxi).They have a cab service just outside the building and there is a fix pricing for the fare from airport to different places in Bali.The rate from Airport to Sanur (as of Jan 30, 2006) by Cab was Rp 85,000 (journey about 30-40 mins). However you can always try walking toward the exit and there should be some people offering unofficial transportation and you can bargain your way there.I managed to bargain Rp 60,000 from Airport to Sanur.

IDP= International Driving Permit

by hayley_69

If you would like to do it your own way and drive either a motercyle or car in Bali go ahead but just make sure you have an IDP= International Driving Permit (plus you are suppose to carry your real drivers licence from your own country) .Driving in the busy parts of Bali is dangerous like in Kuta, Legian etc but quieter part are not so dangerous like Ubud, Tanah Lot etc.Just make sure you get some kind of insurance. To get a Local Licence that goes with your IDP, go independently to the Denpasar Police Office for a temporary permit, valid for about 30 days, costs roughly 150.000Rp To apply for this bring alone a passport, 3 passport photo's and you IDP.

Private travelling : Barong and Kintamani

by cadzand

If you don't like crowded tourist busses as you can find them all over the world, stopping at different souvenir shops, make a private tour with driver and guide in french, dutch or english in a mini-van or 4 x 4. You can count on the good and friendly services of Steven, a very kind (belgian) person living in Bali since several years.click on the picture to enlarge

Taxi - Blue Bird

by fachd

Catch Bluebird taxi while you are in Bali they are the best and the safest. They are company own. The only metered taxi in Bali as far I know and not that expensive. If any problem you can ring the company.

Ojek - Motorbike taxi

by fachd

You can hire or use ojek while you are in Bali. If you want to hire you need a international licence. The cost is negotiable and you can hire as long as you want. Makes sure you have insurance for damages. There are everywhere in Bali. Remember riding motorbike in Bali are dangerous especially if you are not familiar with the chaotic traffic (not place for beginner). Several tourists are killed in motorbike accidents each year. Ride slow and defensive.
