When you go to Bali, you will find that the easiest and cheapest way to get around is to rent a scooter.

There are no buses, trains or metro. Some places have banned Gojek and Grab (Asian version of Uber), so you have no other choice but to take a taxi or hire a private driver. This isn’t ideal if you’re traveling on a budget, and it’s even worse if you’re traveling alone, as you can’t share the costs with anyone.

The good news is that in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, you can usually get away with renting a scooter or motorbike without a license. But if you’ve never ridden one before, doing it for the first time in Bali can be scary because:

The traffic is crazy.
Most of the other motorcyclists on the road were locals who had learned to ride a scooter since they had just lesson from local.
