Two Week Bali Tour No Driving: A Practical Plan
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 3 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
A two week Bali tour no driving is entirely doable, because the island's main areas are linked by drivers, shuttles and short rides, and you can still add a scooter or car on the days you want freedom. This guide shows how to structure the fortnight, what each option costs in Indonesian Rupiah and where a rental fits in.
Why a two week Bali trip works without driving
Two weeks is long enough to cover the island's three main zones without ever sitting behind a wheel: the south (Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu, Nusa Dua, Jimbaran), the centre (Ubud and the rice terraces) and the east or north (Sanur, Amed, Lovina). Each zone is a half-day or less from the next by car, so you can rely on drivers for the long hops and walk or take short rides within each base.
Note: traffic in south Bali can be slow at peak hours. Plan one long transfer per move and avoid scheduling two in the same day.
A sample 14-day route
| Days | Base | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Seminyak or Canggu | Beaches, cafes, easy airport access |
| 5–7 | Ubud | Temples, rice fields, yoga and craft villages |
| 8–10 | Amed or Candidasa | Quiet east coast, snorkelling and diving |
| 11–13 | Uluwatu or Jimbaran | Cliffs, surf, seafood dinners |
| 14 | Ngurah Rai Airport | Departure |
Three moves in fourteen days keeps transport simple. Book each transfer a few days ahead, especially for private drivers during the high season.
Your transport options without driving yourself
- Private driver for the day or transfer. Agree a fixed price for the route before you set off. This suits the long moves and day trips to Tirta Empul or Tegallalang.
- Ride-hailing apps. Useful for short hops inside a town. Fares are low, but availability drops in remote areas like Amed or Munduk.
- Shared shuttles. Cheapest for airport-to-base transfers, though slower and less flexible.
- Walking and bicycles. Ideal within Ubud, Seminyak or Canggu, where most cafes and shops are close together.
- A scooter or car with a local rider delivered to your stay. Choose this for the few days you want to explore on your own schedule.
Costs in Rupiah (estimates to check)
Prices vary by season and distance, so treat these as rough guides and confirm before booking:
- Short ride inside a town: often Rp20.000–Rp50.000
- Private driver for a half day: check quotes with several operators
- Airport transfer by private car: quoted per route, so compare before you agree
Always ask for the total price in Rupiah before the trip starts, including tolls and parking.
Adding a scooter or car for free days
Many visitors combine a driver for the long transfers with a self-drive vehicle for the quieter days in Ubud or Canggu. If you rent, check the requirements first: a scooter needs a motorcycle licence, and foreign visitors need their home licence plus an International Driving Permit with the motorcycle category. Confirm current rules with your licensing authority, since these can change.
