Parking and etiquette

  • Use the café's parking area and let the attendant guide you.
  • Keep a few small notes for parking fees.
  • Don't park blocking village lanes or temple entrances.
  • Take your helmet with you or lock it to the scooter.

A simple day plan

Start with breakfast in Pererenan, work or relax in a café in Berawa through the hot midday, then ride to Echo Beach or Batu Bolong for sunset. Shortcuts and traffic tips are in Berawa & Pererenan and scooter parking in Canggu & Seminyak.

Canggu's shortcut lanes are narrow and shared with pedestrians, dogs and other scooters. Ride slowly and use your horn lightly at blind corners.

Book on WhatsApp or via the Bali scooter rental catalogue: the bike is delivered to your hotel or villa and you pay when it arrives. See scooter rental in Canggu and SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.
