Rent a Car in Bali: FAQ

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Bali?
If you are from a non-ASEAN country, yes. ASEAN nationals can drive with their home license. Always carry both your home license and IDP.

Is it difficult to drive in Bali?
Bali has busy roads, especially around Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu. Motorbikes weave in and out. The roads to Ubud and the highlands can be winding. If you are an experienced driver, self-drive is fine. For first-timers, we recommend booking a car with driver.

What is the best car for Bali roads?
For couples or solo travelers, a compact car is perfect for narrow streets and easy parking. For families or groups, choose an MPV like Toyota Avanza or Suzuki Ertiga for comfort and space.

Can I rent a car in Bali and drop it off in another city?
Yes. WAHDAH offers flexible drop-off options. 

Do I need to pay for the driver's meals if I book with driver?
No. Driver's meals are included in the package. If you invite the driver to join your meal, it is appreciated but never expected.

What is the odd-even traffic rule in Bali?
Bali does not have Jakarta's odd-even system, but certain areas have one-way systems and event-based restrictions. Your driver will know the latest rules.

 

Your Bali Adventure Starts Here

Bali has so much to offer. The beaches, the temples, the rice terraces, the culture. But without reliable transport, you will miss so much.

When you rent a car in Bali, you decide your own schedule. Stay 20 minutes at a waterfall or 3 hours. Your call.
