Bicycles are available but bear in mind the heavy traffic in Kuta, Legian and Denpasar. Bicycles are ideal in Ubud and the countryside if you are fit. A few companies offer mountain biking excursions. If you're feeling brave, self-drive cars and motorbikes are the thing for you. You will need your licence from your home country and an international driving licence for renting a car and a special permit available at police stations for renting a motorbike. The rental company can help you obtain this, but it can take half a day of your precious holiday time. It is obligatory to wear a helmet although the helmets provided are usually no more useful than if you were to don a plastic ice cream container on your head!

Types of cars available are usually small jeeps or Kijangs (larger car with room for 6 people). There are many car rental companies to choose from, like Indomobil company provides type of Suzuki vechile.

Take note of several important points while driving in Bali. It is not unusual for cars and bikes to swerve into your lane without indication. A system of "sharing lanes" has developed because there are often obstacles on the sides of the road, such as parked cars or the frequent procession of bakso (meatball) trolleys and paraphernalia salesmen.

Quite often, red traffic lights are considered "only as a suggestion" and there are a few places where traffic in the left lane may turn or continue straight through whilst the light is red.
