Motorbike, bicycle & scooter rental
You'll find many rental places around the island! If you want to rent online and have your bike dropped off at your location, check out Bali Bike Rental. We recommend renting from a local shop - they are much more affordable than anything you'll find online. Expect to be asked to give your passport as a deposit until you return the bike. While this is common, it's understandable you feel weary of leaving your passport - they accept cash sometimes as a deposit too ($50-$100). You need to be properly licensed for the area that they are in if you want to drive a motorbike/scooter. Most travel insurance providers won't cover you unless you are properly licensed and wearing safety gear (a helmet).
Traveling outside of the city
Renting a scooter is your best bet. Check if you need to get an International driving license while you're there, the police often stop drivers to check. You can also rent a car with a driver for the day.
Local buses
Check the routes and timetable here, and you can buy tickets at ticket booths or on the bus.
