I wouldn't even consider renting a car on a first visit to Bali. The roads are madness most of the time. There are heaps of drivers touting for business especially outside the hotels. Do some searching in this forum for more advice and or drivers names and details. Like Kaytee says, go for tours as well - less hassle.
And best book now as it's very busy and will be even busier if it's over Christmas/New Year. :)
