[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1946″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]You may already know this and if it is not the case, you will soon realize when you arrive in Bali, the preferred means of transport on the island is the scooter. The scooter has many advantages in Bali, besides your independence. It saves time on your trips, moving much faster than by car, which remain stuck in traffic (especially during the very regular holidays and religious ceremonies.) It is also a cheap way to travel on your trip to Bali, and travel the island from coast to coast, Adventure, provided you don’t have children with you. You can rent a scooter during your vacation in Bali and at low cost (between 50,000 and 70,000 rupees per day, or 4 to 10 euros, depending on the model). Prices are of course degressive, if you rent by the week or month. You will find at every street corner small bottles of vodka filled with gasoline during your stay in Bali (only for scooters.) 1l of gasoline will cost you about 60 cents and you will also find gas pumps quite easily in large cities. Risks, not to be taken lightly…. Attention, riding a scooter during your holidays in Bali has a number of risks that you must be confident for your safety…. And also the others! Especially in the south of the island of Bali, where traffic is most important. So here are some practical tips on 2-wheel driving, which will be useful during your stay in Bali. There are no strict rules in Bali, so you have to stay focused and very vigilant at all times. It is not uncommon to encounter dogs, trucks or pedestrians on your way. Do not forget to wear a helmet. It would be a shame to end your vacation in Indonesia earlier than expected, through the hospital box, or send someone there. This would increase your travel budget! There are frequent accidents in Bali and it is important to know that the hospitals of Bali are not all the same standard as in France (except in the south of the island) And if there’s a serious problem, you’ll have to leave the island. It is therefore more than necessary to take out insurance in case of a problem.

Balinese and tourists staying in Bali are not always careful, and sometimes do not hesitate to drive on the sidewalks, to pass by the right or to honk untimely. This can be a way of asking if you want to be driven somewhere, if you walk down the street. To be in good standing, during your stay in Bali, you will need to apply for an international permit (often free of charge) from your Prefecture or Sub-Prefecture. As in France, you must always have it with you when you drive. You will see, police checks are quite frequent in Bali and you will sometimes be fined for infractions… that you did not commit! If you can, ignore the police and avoid being on the front line at the red light, so you don’t get checked. You keep a 50,000 or 100,000 rupees bill on you and tell them that you have nothing else on you, it will save you from endless negotiations or an exorbitant fine. During your trip to Bali with Balipassion, if you wish, your Balinese guide will be happy to introduce you to driving and help you during your free days to rent a scooter in Bali.
