From Wayan Murdana at Kasturi Car Rental. Mobile Phone. 081 02395 01002. Land line 0361 761130. Pura Bagus Taruna St. (actually I think it may be renamed as Jln. Werkudara) NO.521X. That is the old Rum Jungle Road that runs from oppisite Jayakarta Hotel to Jln Legian.
We are expecting our second one today as it happens!! I call it "Isteri Kedua" or second wife and she is very beautiful.
Wayan will tell you himself that he is not the cheapest around Kuta and will tell you to go and look and compare. The quality of his reconditioning is extremely good and we have recommended others to him and they are as happy as us and in fact one of them is going to buy a second from him next trip to Bali.
In my opinion it is better to go and see him to discuss things than to phone because his English is good face to face but not so good over the phone.
If you go and see him tell him that Brian and Hilary recommended you to him. It is vital that you get permission from Canberra to bring it in before it goes to cargo. Not a difficult procedure when you know how.
I have left my email open on this post because I don't want to talk about price and turn this into an advert which will be deleted!! Please feel free to email me and if you like I will give you our phone number and you can talk to Brian because he is pretty much the full bottle on the whole exporting to Australia thing.
