Hi All. I amm off to Bali for a month in May and while I have driven many times in Bali with no (or only very very minor) 'events' car wise I must be getting older/wiser as I am now looking into what I am insured for while driving a rental car there.
Does anyone know if there is any legislation governing rental car companies in Bali? And if they have to be licensed as a car rental company? How can one tell - if a company is licensed to rent out cars, if there is such a thing that is.
It's just that I'm pretty sure that the 'local' insurance provided with the car would likely be problematic if anything major happened. What have people's experiences been re this - in the major of a major event that costs quite a lot?
Also my travel insurance policy says that I am only covered if I rent from a licensed rental provider. I asked them (re Bali's situation) and they said the onus would be on me to prove that the company is reputable and licensed to rent.
Any and all thoughts much appreciated. Also I am sure that this issue relates to most/all of us that rent some type of vehicle or ther in Bali and wider SE Asia.
Thanks in advance.
