Planning your trip to Bali and wondering how to travel around the island with ease? Transportation here can be an adventure in itself. From ride-hailing apps to scooters, cars, and even bicycles, Bali offers a wide range of ways to explore. In this guide, we’ll break down the most popular transport options, and help you decide which choice is best for your stay at the BI Design House.

Ride-Hailing Apps: Gojek & Grab

If you want a quick, safe, and budget-friendly option, download the Gojek or Grab apps. These apps allow you to book a car or a motorbike taxi with just a few taps. You can even book bigger or more comfortable vehicles if you would like. It’s ideal for short to medium trips to nearby cafes, beaches, or shops. This is the easiest way to get around as there are always lots of drivers available. Your driver will bring a helmet for you to use. Please wear it!

Hire a Scooter

Many travellers choose to rent a scooter because it’s fast, flexible, and fun. Scooters let you avoid traffic and discover smaller roads that cars can’t access.

  • Always wear a helmet.
  • Make sure you have your licence from your country (that includes permission to ride a scooter), plus an international driving permit.
  • Only rent if you are experienced with scooters.
  • The road rules in Bali may be different to your home country. Please ride slowly and carefully!

This option is best suited for confident experienced riders who want independence and adventure. Always start in quiet areas (near the BI Design House is a great place to practise) until you feel ready to go on the busier roads.

Hire a Car + Driver

For comfort and convenience, you can hire a private driver. A driver knows the roads, handles the traffic, and can even suggest hidden gems. A car is the most practical option for families or groups, especially for day trips to temples, waterfalls, or rice terraces. Your driver will take you from place to place and will wait nearby until you are ready to continue your trip. At BI Design House, we can organise a recommended driver to help you explore your favourite parts of Bali.

Walk or Cycle

Sometimes the best way to explore is the simplest. Walking or cycling lets you take things slow, discover hidden cafes, and enjoy the village atmosphere. It’s best in quiet, rural areas, where the distances between restaurants, shops, and sights are short. You can even hire a guide to lead your leisurely ride through the local area.

Conclusion

Getting around Bali is part of the experience—whether you’re zipping through the streets on a scooter or relaxing in the back seat of a car with a driver, each option offers its own charm and convenience.
