Most of the good surf spots have unsealed roads so keep that in mind when hiring a vehicle, try to get a 4WD type vehicle, drive yourself if you are not intending on driving in the built up areas. Hard to get a car into Kuta/Legian/seminyak without frustration.
Also, check the spare tire, actually check all tyres well, I dont know how many times friends have rung us to say they have a flat type and the spare is flat as well, there are a lot of nails and stuff on the roads in Bali so flat tyres are a regular thing and out at the surf spots there isn't anywhere to get a tyre fixed, or you may come across a 'helpful' person who will charge you an arm and a leg to help you.
