❤ Bali, being a popular tourist destination, often experiences heavy traffic congestion, especially during peak seasons. Navigating through the bustling streets of Bali can be quite challenging, even for experienced drivers, let alone tourists. Therefore, it is highly recommended to hire a driver in Bali, especially if you are not familiar with the area or driving on the left side of the road. Hiring a driver not only helps you avoid the stress of driving in traffic but also allows you to relax and enjoy the scenic beauty of the island.
Hi Ryan, I’m not that tech savvy lol, did you use Google Maps to get around? Do you use phone data doing that so really costly? Or is there some other way to navigate? Cheers
Hey! I used Google maps, I use Google maps everywhere in the world it always seems to work the best! I used my phone data but data is incredibly cheap in Bali if you buy a local SIM card!
Hi Ryan I dont have an international liscence ? Is it safe to hire self drive car and not get fined by the police ? Thanks your response is highly appreciated.
Hi bro , I am taking my family to Bali in December from 15 December to 1 Jan . How is the weather really like , does it rain a lot in the day or more towards late afternoon and night time , there are a lot of mixed reviews on the topic so not really sure what to expect.
It genuinely can’t be predicted, sometimes it just rains for a couple of hours in the afternoon, other times it’ll rain for a week straight and the weather forecast is terrible at predicting what’s going to happen 😅
@@RyanLeeBanks tanx bru , much appreciated. Enjoy Vietnam . I lived there for 2 years in the covid time and have traveled for business there since 2017 an amazing place.
I got it from the post office. Yes Indo is not listed and the post office will try to tell you you don't need one, however this was not my first time here and I argued with the post office that my last trip to Bali resulted in me getting fined because I didn't have one. For some reason, because it's not listed they're reluctant to let you buy one (which I don't understand why, if someone wants to buy one just let them) but tell them it doesn't matter what their silly little list says, your friend Ryan has lived in Bali for over a year and the Indonesian police don't care about your list, only the money they can scam from you if you can't produce an IDP 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@RyanLeeBanks Thanks for your advice :-) I'm going to Bali next year. Last time I was there was 2009 and I don't recall any issue getting an IDP. I hated driving there, but the missus wants us to hire a car again with muggins here doing all the driving.
@@RyanLeeBanksI think nowadays you should to validate the IDP in Indonesia. "You cannot drive in Indonesia using a UK driving licence. You can drive using an International Driving Permit issued in Indonesia. International Driving Permits issued in the UK may need to be endorsed by the Indonesian licensing office in Jakarta." source: gov.uk
It can’t be pretty busy these days if you don’t book in advance, so if you can I would, but I’m sure there’ll be some rental companies with availability if not!
This is suuuch an adventure, car 100% recommended to visit this side of the island! I’m already excited for the next episodes 😍
Aren’t you the most supportive and wonderful little petal ever ♥️

Driving by yourself or hiring a scooter is also a lot of fun 😁
You guys did a great job with this one 👏🏻♥️
Awww thank you doll ♥️
Beautiful Island and Beautiful video
Bravo Ryan 🎉
Thank you so much ♥️
Can I drive there with EU driving licence?
Yeah! It would be good to get an international license from your country too just in case
I hope to go to Bali in May. great to see they drive on the left- even though I won't be the one driving!
Yup! I’ve always said the left is the correct side of the road 😏

Keep creating mate!🚀
100% I will bro!
What you drive is Toyota Calya. Calya in Sanskrit means "flawless".
Well that’s true because it was pretty flawless on the journey! haha
"it smells a little bit like egg but I think it's the mineral salts whatever" 😂😂
Gotta love those mineral salts in hot springs 😂
How much money police expect if you dont have IDP handy?
Usually around $50, but it might have gone up since I left Bali. It’s definitely negotiable though 😂
Hi Ryan
I dont have an international liscence ?
Is it safe to hire self drive car and not get fined by the police ?
Thanks
your response is highly appreciated.
You don’t technically need one for Indonesia but the police will say otherwise and if you don’t have one they will fine you about $60

Hi @Jaimpi N, seems like we’re gonna be there at the same time. Finger crossed the weather will be on our side 😂
The most important… how much for rent the car?
I put that in the video no? It’s was quite a while ago now so I can’t remember 😅
Can i ask where did you get your IDP? Indonesia is not listed on UK gov website for IDP. Thanks.. great vid btw

Haha always gotta compromise with the missus 😂 have a good time dude and your less likely to be pulled by the police in a car than on a bike anyway!

nice! very helpful. how much did the car rent cost u ?
Awesome! It was about 250k IDR a day 😁
@@RyanLeeBanks thank you! appreicate it. Also, do you need to book in advance or go up to any rental car company there?

Hi Ryan did you pick it up in Kuta? Heading over in May and plan to drive around the island
I picked it up from Canggu 😁
What is the name/contact of the place you hired the car from?
Hey, I just added the WhatsApp number in the description!
which car hire company did you used?
It wasn’t really a company, just a guy that rents out a few cars 😁
Which resort was it ?
Mimpi Resort! You’ll be able to see it more across all 3 videos from the series 😁
Great video❤
Where and how to book the car
Can you share any contact
Hey! Yeah sure this is the WhatsApp number you can message +62 882-3603-3703 😁
