Only in Bali: Video Shows Foreign Tourists Driving While Balinese Driver Sleeps

Share:

For foreign tourists, renting a car with a driver in Bali has become a convenient and stress-free way to explore the island. The limited public transport options and the scattered tourist sites make it a practical choice, allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey.

Well, there is usually a special bond between tourists and drivers who are always together for several days. It is not uncommon for the tourist to use the services of the same driver when he returns to Bali.

This bond of trust is also evident in a viral video on TikTok. Uploaded by @cyrennesworld, it shows a foreign tourist driving the car to the airport while the driver, exhausted from a long day of exploring, sleeps in the back seat. This level of trust and reliability is a testament to the safety and comfort you can expect from these services.

Many netizens commented on the funny video.

‘That trust! Letting your western mates drive your car in Bali,’ wrote one netizen.

‘We did this on our way back yoo, those poor souls are tired as hell,’ said another netizen who shared the same experience.

For those who want to explore all the beauty that Bali has to offer without being constrained by transport, the option of car hire and driver comes as the perfect solution. With the magical touch of an experienced driver, your trip on the island will be an unforgettable adventure.

Benefits using personal driver in Bali

Here are some benefits of hiring a car and driver in Bali. You can easily arrange this service through your hotel or a local travel agency. The process is simple and convenient, allowing you to focus on your trip without worrying about the logistics.

1. Unlimited Freedom of Exploration

When you hire a car and driver in Bali, you free yourself from the constraints of fixed schedules and routes. You can explore every corner of the island at your own pace, lingering only in the places of your choice.

2. Efficient and Effective Time

With the help of local drivers who are knowledgeable about the best routes, you can save your precious time. They know the shortcuts, alternative roads, and the best time to avoid traffic, so you can explore more places in a limited amount of time.

3. Comfort Throughout the Journey

Experienced drivers not only deliver you safely but also ensure your comfort throughout the journey. They are well-versed with the local traffic rules and road conditions, ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, knowing that you are in safe hands.

Of course, with the viral video above, this seems out of sync as the tourist takes the driver’s place. But this is what seems to happen when the tourist and driver trust each other.

Renting a car and driving in Bali is not just about transport, but about experiencing every detail of the island’s beauty and charm in a carefree way. Make every moment in Bali a part of the story of your life’s journey and let the memories last forever.
