In Reply to: Hiring a Car - Parking Q posted by Cheryl on Wednesday, 4. March 2009 at 11:49 Bali Time:
We always hire a car in Bali, but only drive away from the tourist strip. Driving & parking is a pain in Kuta, Legian, most of Seminyak & Tuban. We use taxis around there as in our experience a car is just not worth the hassle. If you're stuck in a traffic jam (not unusual) you can get out of a cab & walk - not so with a car.
If you go to Centro there is parking underground. I think parking is not permitted in Jl Legian around Kuta but I may well be wrong.
