Renting a car for the weekend in Seminyak Bali
Renting a car here in Bai is super easy. Ika, Jevon and I are taking off early on Saturday for NE Bali. Not wanting to deal with waiting around tomorrow and dealing with crap, I walked over to Jl. Dhyana Pura. Along DP there are many car rental places. Every time I walk to the beach someone is saying “boss rent car?” I wanted a Suzuki Katana as they are small and cheap. The first place I went to the guy wanted 250,000rp for the 3 days I’ll need it. I offered 200,000rp and he let me walk away. Good to know I reached rock bottom.
The place across the street had 4 guys sitting outside playing a board game, whereby counters are flicked at each other, with the intention of knocking one through a corner hole. They play this in India also.
I was no-nonsense and offered 200,000rp for 3 days. The guy made a call and agreed. The car will be back by monday afternoon, so he gave me the keys straight away. The whole proceedure took 10 minutes and I showed no ID.
Be sure to check for dents otherwise they might try to claim you dented the car.
