Both my trips to Bali were via renting & driving. The cheapest I got was from a car rental on the far right of the Exit of arrival hall ...I did post the name of the car rental but forgotten which post oledi

U really hv to bargain kaw-kaw..At the end I got the suzuki jeep for 120,000rupiah/day or about RM45/day
It's very safe driving in Bali. Even on my 1st trip, I was not using any GPS maps at all...The locals are so helpful...I got lost couple of time and once u stop the local, they will direct you especially seeing a Chinese speaking Indon!!

. Twice I was stopped by Policemen and after noticing me checking the paper maps..he personally ask me to follow him till I reached my destination at Goa Gajah!!
Those con-men actually not really con-men, They are illegal toll collectors everywhere around Bali traditional villages such as Jimbaran, Benoa, Sanur beach, Kintamani & etc...They will collect ~5000rupiah -10,000rupiah or more for each car passing by their kampungs!!
On my 2nd trip last year, wth the GPS maps on hand...everything was so easy. Just find the location or create a waypoint from Google Earth/wikimapia for those POI not in the maps & just follow the instruction...Very accurate routable maps indeed!!

..No need to ask...The GPS maps even lead me to Java Timur, where I took a ferry across the Bali street to Bayu Wangi - Supposely going to Mt Ijen (The famous Sulfure mining volcano) but too bad, I arrived late!

Really? The first time I was there, the roads the guide took us.. was horrible, soo narrow, how to drive leh? and somemore when afterwork time in Kuta.. woow.. the traffic jam is really "KENG" leh... the way the drivers all potong queue.. fuyoooo..
