Here are our recommendations on how to jump behind the wheel of a rental car with extra cash in your wallet:

• Look into as many different deals as you can (we make that chore a walk in the park!);
• By entering your email address into our Price Drop Alert, you’ll be notified of all the unbeatable offers for your selected location;
• Research is the key to bagging the best rental bargains in town, so be sure to take a look at both airport and non-airport pickup and drop-off outlets before you book your ride;
• If you have some wiggle room in your schedule, modify your dates to find better prices on different days of the week;
• Pickup and drop-off times usually need to be the same or very similar (e.g, both 11 a.m.) or you may be charged for another full day;
• Some places reward you big time for prepaying — keep an eye open for these penny-pinching deals;
• It’s best to make a reservation as soon as your dates are finalized. You’d hate to miss out because you left it too late!

A rental car will help you get around the best sights quickly and comfortably in Bali. If you’re traveling on a shoestring and want to make your budget go further, a mini or a compact is a great idea. These zippy cars are affordable to run and a cinch to park. If you’re traveling with the family, an SUV will give you all the space you need.

First of all, there’s a huge variety of both high-end and economy rental vehicles in Bali. What you go for is largely dependent on how much you want to spend and what you’re planning to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you’re splashing out, why not go for an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a slick mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you’re just after a car to get you from A to B as economically as possible, stick with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your pocket).
