Bali with Your Parents: Rent Scooters, a Car, or Both?
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Bringing your parents or a big family to Bali needs the right transport plan. Scooters are great for younger travellers but not always comfortable for older ones. Here's how to choose — and the combination that usually makes the most sense.
Scooters, a car, or both?
| Situation | Best choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Parents join every day | 7-seater car or car with driver | Comfortable, air-conditioned, safe in rain |
| Parents relax at the hotel, the young ones explore | Scooters for the young ones | Cheap and nimble |
| One long day trip (Kintamani, Bedugul) | Car with driver (full day) | No tiring mountain driving |
| Big family of 6–7 | 7-seater + 1–2 scooters | Flexible for two groups |
