Getting the car to Lovina: two options
| Option | How it works | Best for |

| Pick up at the airport, drive north | The car meets you at arrivals; drive about 95 km via Bedugul | Most travellers — the drive is part of the trip |
| Delivery to Lovina | The car is brought to your hotel; time and total confirmed on WhatsApp first | Travellers already in the north, or arriving by bus or boat |
