What to Do When Finished Driving a Car In Bali Indonesia

7 April 2023

This article is very important and we deliberately publish it so consumers know if there are plans to rent a car in Bali, Indonesia. It is worth reading and doing when you are done driving the car so that there are no problems, especially since the car you are driving is a rental car. If a strike occurs due to consumer negligence, of course, it will be a hassle for the car rental officer. It is even more troublesome if the car breaks down, which is located far from Denpasar or the car rental office.

• Turn off the AC Panel
  This is very important to do so that when the car wants to be turned on later, it is easier and the car's electricity particularly the battery lasts longer.
• Turn off all the lights
  Make sure you do this. If you are negligent and not done, the car battery will be weak and most likely the car cannot be started. If the car cannot be started, of course, ask for help from the car rental officer to replace the battery or jump the battery. You will be charged for this failure. The amount of the fee depends on the location and distance from Denpasar.
• Don't leave valuables in the car
  Even though the island of Bali is safe and a fun place for a vacation, it is highly recommended not to leave valuables in the car.
• Make sure to park in a safe place
  If you have decided to rent a self-drive car in Bali, make sure you have booked a hotel that has a spacious and safe parking area. Ask the hotel staff before booking a room. Parking on the side of the road and cars overnight on the side of the road is illegal.
• Position the car steering wheel and car tires in a straight position.
  It is highly recommended that the condition of car components such as tires, and tie roots last a long time. Maybe in some countries, the position of the front tires when parking is recommended to turn towards the side of the road for safety reasons.
• Don't leave explosives behind
  This is very important and crucial. Items that explode easily when exposed to heat, such as hair spray, aerosols, cans of mosquito coils, and others. If the car is parked under the sun, the temperature of the cabin space will rise and it will be hot, these items will have a very high chance of exploding.
• Lower the Car Window About 1 centimeter
  The aim is to lower the windshield a little more or less 1 centimeter so that there is air circulation and the air temperature in the car cabin is not too hot. If the car is often parked, not in the shade, and exposed to sunlight for days on end, several car components are easily damaged, such as rubber dashboards, steering wheels, and other panels that are not heat-resistant and will quickly peel off. Several cars are designed to put a spare tire in the car, usually a city car type. Damage to the spare tire will be faster as it hardens and breaks down because the air temperature in the car's cabin is hot.
