When driving on the road make sure you are aware that;

• it can be very congested at times
• some roads start out wide but turn into narrow lanes
• police may stop you and you will be required to produce your international license.
• if fined, you may have to pay a fee (bribe)  then and there
• ceremonial  processions are frequent and roads may be closed for periods of time

Buses and Bemos
The buses and Bemos can take you anywhere in Bali.  They are very cheap (from 3000 Rp.) but they are usually overcrowded and difficult to know where they are going. To catch a Bemo just wait at the edge of the road and raise your hand, there bus stop is where the passenger is standing!

Taxis
There are taxis everywhere in Bali and usualy they will toot there horn to get your attention.  If using a  taxi, please make sure that;

• you state your destination and get a price.
• the taxi uses the meter
• the taxi is part of a registered company
• you have change, as the drivers (for convenience sake) rarely seem to have change!

Bicycles
Bicycles are readily available but beware that there are many holes in the footpath and road and traffic conditions can be quite heavy in areas such as Kuta, Legian and   Denpasar.
Bicycles are ideal in country areas like Ubud. There are several companies that offer mountain bike excursions.

Motorbikes
If you are feeling brave you may want to hire a motor bile. Please note you require an international license and a special permit from the police statnion for renting a motorbike ( the rental agency can assist you with this).
Helmet are compulsary, but make sure you pick out a sturdy helmet (full face) as most tend to look like skate board helmets.
