Getting Around
You will find a range of chauffeur driven limousines, self-drive
cars, taxis and hotel courtesy cars. Many taxis are not metered
so it's wise to negotiate the fare before you climb aboard. Bemos
are a unique form of transport. They are a mini-van masquerading
as a communal bus. You simply hail the driver and negotiate the
fare that suits you both. Motorcycles can also be hired in many
places but special care should be exercised at all times as road
and traffic conditions can be somewhat hazardous in certain locations.
Traveling around Bali is made all the easier because everywhere
you go you'll find friendly people only to happy to give you advice
and directions on how to get where you want to go.
Driver's License
If you wish to hire a car you must be over 18 years of age and
posses an International Driver's License or license from ASEAN
countries.
Clothing
Light, airy, casual clothes are the most practical and you'll
find natural fibers like cotton or linen are the most comfortable
in Bali's often humid conditions. Waist sashes should be worn
when visiting temples.
