How do you get around Ubud Bali?
Whichever area you vacation in Bali, you will need transportation. There are two holiday transportation options on the island of Bali: public and private.
Public transportation includes online motorcycle taxis (GOJEK), online taxis (GRAB), and taxi meters. Furthermore, public transportation will be perfect for sightseeing in Ubud if you stay around the central Ubud area.
However, suppose you stay outside Ubud, such as Seminyak, Kuta, Legian, Nusa Dua, and Tanjung Benoa. In that case, private transportation is the best option for a vacation on the island of Bali. The reason is that public transportation has not yet covered all Bali areas, and private transport saves on vacation costs in Bali.
Furthermore, private transportation in Bali is available by motorbike or car.

Bali Car Rental with Driver
If you don’t live in Ubud, the best way to visit the Arma Museum is to get a car rental service with a driver in Bali. Using a Bali rental car with a driver, besides visiting the Arma Museum, you can also visit other tourist attractions in Ubud Bali, including Ubud Monkey Forest, Ubud Art Market, and Ubud Palace.
If you decide to get around in Ubud with a car, I advise looking for car rental services in Bali with a driver. The reason is that finding a car park in the tourist area of Ubud is very difficult.
By using a driver when renting a car, your driver will be looking for a car park. You can get out of the vehicle directly at the destination without thinking about finding a car park.
Car rental rates in Bali with a driver depending on the type of car you want to hire. For instance, Toyota Innova Reborn’s driver rental price in Ubud Bali is IDR 600,000 / 12 hours without fuel.
If you are on vacation with more than 6 participants, using a microbus-type car such as the Toyota Hiace or Isuzu ELF is good. A microbus will make the average car rental rate per person cheaper.
