My sisters was in Bali sometime last year. She and he friends had a very bad experience with the bike rental there.
This is what she discovered there. Some Balinese hates Malaysian. Those that are friendly are not Balinese, there are the Javanese working in Bali.
This is what happened. She and her friends hired 2 bikes. Upon returning to the bike rental, they were accused of stealing the road tax which was placed under the seat. Why would they want to steal right??? And it didn’t come across their mind to check whether the bikes are with road tax.
My sister stood aside as her boyfriend and friends try to settle the issue. No one side them, not even the hotel and their tour guide. My sister overhead them saying, “They are Malaysian, don’t give them chance.”
The bike rental owner asked for RM100! No less. They had no choice but to pay coz they are in foreign land and no one sides them, not even the policemen!
So if you plan to hire a bike in Bali, be sure to check whether the bike comes with road tax. If not, demand for it!
