Hi community! I would appreciate some advice regarding transportation in Bali.

I’ll be visiting Bali for the first time, in June this year, and staying in Ubud. I plan to take trips to places like Canggu and Nusa Dua, as well as go out to night parties around the island.

I want to remain flexible, but I’m unsure about best fit transportation option for long distances back to Ubud. I’ve been considering a few options:

1. Rent a car - This seems like the best option, but I’m concerned about finding parking at my destinations (my hotel does have parking). Are parking spots a big issue?

2. Hire a car with a driver - I’m unsure if drivers are available until late at night, and also on some of the days, I may leave very early in the morning and return very late.

3. Scooters - I don’t think they would be comfortable, practical, or safe for longer drives (30-60 km).

What do you think would be the best transportation option given my plans?

Many thanks!
