Vehicle Rental Options

To travel from Bali to Java, options include flying, hiring a driver, or taking a tour. If traveling by motorcycle, ensure you have the necessary international driving permit (IDP) and vehicle registration, as police checks are common at ports. Rental companies may also restrict taking their vehicles to Java. A possible workaround is to leave your Bali motorcycle in Gilimanuk, ferry across, and rent a new one on Java.
