7 Day Bali Itinerary for Families by Car
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 3 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
A 7 day Bali itinerary for families is easiest to enjoy by car, because the kids and luggage come along without switching transport. Here is a route, a day-by-day plan, and how to book through SiapPergi.
Why a car suits families in Bali
With four or five people, one car is far more practical than several scooters. Small children, car seats, suitcases and beach gear all fit in one vehicle. Bali's distances between areas are not large, but the roads to Ubud, Kintamani or Bedugul often get congested around midday, so an air-conditioned car remains a sensible choice.
Before choosing, count your passengers and luggage. For a small family, a Honda Brio or Toyota Calya is enough. For a bigger group or lots of suitcases, a Toyota Avanza or Mitsubishi Xpander gives more room.
The 7 day route
This plan is relaxed so the children do not get exhausted. Adjust it to suit your family.
| Day | Focus | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arrival and Seminyak/Canggu | Pick up the car at Ngurah Rai Airport, check in to your hotel |
| 2 | Kuta Beach, Jimbaran, Uluwatu | Sunset at Uluwatu, leave time for dinner |
| 3 | Ubud and Tegallalang rice terraces | Leave early to avoid traffic |
| 4 | Kintamani and Lake Batur | Cooler air, good for children |
| 5 | Bedugul or Gitgit | Rest in the gardens and by the lake |
| 6 | East coast: Candidasa or Amed | The drive is longer, pack snacks |
| 7 | Back south, souvenir shopping | Return the car on schedule |
Route tips to keep it easy
- Schedule long drives in the morning and keep the afternoon for the hotel pool.
- Limit yourself to two major sights per day.
- For routes to Amed or Lovina, check the travel time on a map and allow extra time.
What to prepare before you leave
- A car driving licence. Foreign visitors need their home-country licence together with an International Driving Permit (IDP). These rules are set by the government and can change, so check the official source before you travel.
- Passport or ID to show at handover. SiapPergi does not hold your passport.
- Child car seats. Ask about availability when booking, since not every vehicle has one.
- Rain gear. Bali has a rainy season, so bring a raincoat or umbrella.
How to book the car for your 7 day trip
