Rental car recommendations for Bali [closed]

My wife and I are considering to go to Bali for a little bit more than two weeks next year October. We were looking at rental car companies and were wondering which ones are trustworthy and which one we should stay away from. We're familiar with Avis, but they only have expensive cars available in our time that we are there. That's why we're looking for price and trust worthy alternatives. We don't need big SUV's, a normal compact car would suit us fine. Also a rental car company that offers sufficient insurances for a reasonable price.
Preferably we'd have a rental car company that doesn't use very old models where the rust rains down when you hit the car.

So what are the car rental companies we should avoid, and which ones can we trust? And maybe other Bali specific tips concerning rental cars would be greatly appriciated.

Best Answer

While I'm not familiar with your specific situation, I would advise you to reconsider driving yourself on Bali. The roads are not up to Western standards, particularly up in the mountains, and driving can be erratic and actively dangerous, particularly if you're not used it.

Instead, I would suggest using Uber or Grab, which are very reasonably priced by Western standards (Rp 50,000/US$3 for most hops around Seminyak/Kuta), or get a car with driver for a full day (from Rp 500,000/US$30).
