Upon arrival at Bali's Denpasar Airport (DPS), you'll find that collecting your hire car is a straightforward process. Most major car hire companies have service desks or representatives located directly within the International Arrivals Hall, making it convenient for travellers from the United Kingdom to get on the road quickly after a long flight.

Present your booking confirmation, valid driving licence (including an International Driving Permit), and passport. Some companies operate a 'meet and greet' service; in this case, a representative will be waiting for you with a sign bearing your name.

Bali Car Hire & Driving Guide

Essential answers to your top questions about self-drive travel in Bali, Indonesia

Can I drive in Bali with my home country's licence, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not strictly mandatory but is highly recommended. If your licence is in English, you can typically rent a car with just your valid home licence and passport. If your licence is not in English, the IDP acts as a certified translation. Age minimum is usually 21 years, with a young driver surcharge of approximately £8-15 per day for drivers under 25.

Bali drives on the left — will I struggle if I'm used to right-hand traffic?

Yes, Bali uses left-hand traffic, and this catches many visitors off guard. Most rental cars are right-hand drive (steering wheel on the right). The biggest adjustment is navigating intersections and overtaking — take extra caution at roundabouts, where traffic flows clockwise. If you're arriving from a right-hand traffic country, spend time on quieter roads before tacklingbusier routes around Kuta, Seminyak, or the airport toll road.

How do I pay for toll roads and fuel in Bali?

Toll roads (such as the Ngurah Rai Airport toll road, ~£1.50-2) accept cash only at booths — have small denominations ready. Fuel is sold at Pertalite (RON 90) and Pertamax (RON 92) stations; credit cards are accepted at most petrol stations in tourist areas. Fill up before heading to remote areas like East Bali or the mountain regions, as fuel stations are sparser outside main towns.

What's the dry season driving like, and should I worry about rain or flooding?

Bali's dry season (April-October) offers excellent driving conditions with clear roads. However, the wet season (November-March) brings sudden heavy downpours that can cause flash flooding on low-lying roads near beaches and rice terraces. Avoid crossing flooded roads — even 30cm of water can stall a car. No winter tyres or snow chains are needed year-round. During dry season, be cautious of ash or haze from distant volcanic activity.

Is the insurance included with my rental enough, or do I need extra coverage?

Basic third-party liability is typically included, but the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) often has a high excess — usually £300-700 deductible. Full insurance with zero excess can cost an extra £8-15 per day but is strongly advised given Bali's narrow, busy roads and frequent minor incidents. Check whether your credit card provides CDW — if so, you may only need basic cover to satisfy the rental company's requirement.

What road conditions should I prepare for outside the tourist areas?

Major tourist routes (Denpasar to Ubud, Kuta to Jimbaran) are decent asphalt roads. However, rural and mountain roads — particularly in the central highlands around Kintamani or the eastern ridges — can be narrow, steep, and rutted. Expect single-lane bridges, oncoming motorbikes, and occasional landslides in wet weather. Drive slowly on unfamiliar roads and honk gently when approaching blind corners.
