Prices in Bali are quoted in rupiah, which is hard to picture when you're planning from Sydney, Los Angeles or Berlin. Here's what scooter rental actually costs in Australian dollars, US dollars and euros, using catalogue prices from our own fleet.

Quick answer

• A Honda BeAT costs IDR 80,000 a day — about A$6.5, US$4.5 or €4.0 (rates of 16 Oct 2026).
• An NMAX or PCX costs IDR 150,000 a day — about A$12.1 / US$8.4 / €7.5.
• Monthly rental is far cheaper per day: a BeAT is IDR 1,210,000/month (about A$98.0 or US$67.8).
• You always pay in rupiah; switch the currency at the top of our Bali scooter rental page to see live conversions.

Daily prices by scooter

Conversions use rates from 16 October 2026 (A$1 ≈ IDR 12,350, US$1 ≈ IDR 17,850, €1 ≈ IDR 20,000) and are rounded. Exchange rates move, so treat them as a guide.

Weekly and monthly prices

Other costs to budget

• Fuel: a 110–125 cc scooter uses little; Pertalite petrol costs around IDR 10,000 a litre.
• Parking: usually IDR 2,000–5,000 per stop at beaches, cafés and temples.
• Delivery: confirmed by the admin before you pay; often included near the rental area.
• Add-ons: phone holder, raincoats or sunglasses are optional and paid once per booking.

How to pay

In our catalogue you pay in rupiah when the scooter is delivered, by bank transfer or e-wallet — no down payment. Many banking apps can send rupiah transfers; check your bank's foreign transaction fees before you travel.

Rent for a week or a month if you can: the daily rate drops sharply, and you avoid paying for extra deliveries.

Scooter accidents are among the most common reasons travellers in Bali end up in hospital — and medical bills there can be high. Whether your travel insurance pays depends on conditions many people never read. This guide covers what policies usually require. It's general information, not advice on any specific policy.

Quick answer

• Most travel policies only cover scooter riding if you hold a licence valid for motorcycles at home and in Indonesia (home licence + IDP with the motorcycle category).
• Common conditions: wear a helmet, ride within the engine-size limit in your policy, and no alcohol or drugs.
• Riding without a valid licence is one of the most common reasons claims are refused.
• Read your policy's product disclosure statement before booking a Bali scooter rental, and keep photos of your licence and IDP.

Conditions most policies set

Before you ride: a five-minute check

1. Find the motorcycle or moped section in your policy wording.
2. Check which licence it requires and whether an IDP is mentioned.
3. Check the engine-size limit and whether passengers are covered.
4. Save the insurer's emergency number and your policy number in your phone.
5. Photograph your licence, IDP and passport, and keep copies offline.

What rental damage cover is (and isn't)

Travel insurance covers you; it usually does not cover damage to the rental scooter. Damage and loss of the bike follow the rental's own terms, so ask how scratches, a broken mirror or theft are handled before you pay. See deposits, insurance & damage on rental scooters.

If you have an accident

• Get medical help first; call the ambulance number 118 or 119.
• Contact your insurer's emergency line as early as possible.
• Tell the rental and photograph the scene, the bike and any police report.
• Keep every receipt and medical document for your claim.

Choose a smaller, lighter scooter if you're new to riding. It keeps you within most policies' engine limits and is easier to control.

Licence rules for foreigners are in Bali scooter rental for foreign tourists; what to do after a crash is in flat tyres, breakdowns & accidents.

Frequently asked questions

Does travel insurance cover riding a scooter in Bali?

Often yes, but only if you meet the policy's conditions — usually a valid motorcycle licence plus IDP, a helmet, an engine-size limit and no alcohol. Check your wording.

Will I be covered without a motorcycle licence?

Most policies don't cover riding without a licence valid for motorcycles. It's one of the most common reasons claims are refused.

Does travel insurance cover damage to the rental scooter?

Usually not. Damage to the bike follows the rental's terms; ask before you pay.

What emergency number should I call in Bali?

118 or 119 for an ambulance, and 110 for the police. Save your insurer's emergency line too.

Canggu is a brilliant base for riding: beaches on your doorstep and rice terraces, temples and cliffs within easy reach. Here are eight day trips that work well from Canggu, with realistic riding times in normal traffic.

Quick answer

• From Canggu, Tanah Lot is about 30–40 minutes, Uluwatu and Ubud about 1–1.5 hours, and Jatiluwih about 1.5–2 hours.
• Leave before 8 am for mountain trips — clouds and rain often roll in after lunch.
• Avoid the Canggu shortcut and Sunset Road between 4 and 7 pm.
• A 125 cc or bigger scooter suits the hills; scooter rental in Canggu from IDR 70,000/day.

8 day trips from Canggu

Two classic routes

1. Temples & terraces: Canggu → Taman Ayun → Jatiluwih → back via Tanah Lot for sunset.
2. Lakes & mountains: Canggu → Bedugul → Ulun Danu Beratan → twin lakes viewpoint → back before dark.

Road notes

• The roads to Jatiluwih and Bedugul climb steadily — a Vario 125, NMAX or PCX is more comfortable than a 110 cc.
• Mountain weather changes quickly; carry a raincoat.
• Petrol stations are fewer once you leave the south; fill up in Canggu or Mengwi.

Plan Tanah Lot for the end of the day: it's close to Canggu and the sunset is the main event.

Route guides: Tanah Lot & Jatiluwih, Bedugul & Munduk and Canggu to Uluwatu. Book in the Bali scooter rental catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best day trip from Canggu by scooter?

Jatiluwih's rice terraces with a sunset stop at Tanah Lot on the way back is a favourite full-day loop.

How long from Canggu to Ubud by scooter?

About 1–1.5 hours, longer in the afternoon traffic.

Is it safe to ride from Canggu to Bedugul?

Yes for confident riders in daylight. The road climbs and can be wet, so take it slowly and leave early.

Which scooter is best for day trips from Canggu?

A 125–160 cc automatic such as a Vario, NMAX or PCX for the hills; a BeAT or Scoopy for beaches nearby.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Ubud sits in the middle of Bali, which makes it the best base for waterfalls, volcano views and temple visits. These day trips are all realistic on a rental scooter, with riding times in normal traffic.

Quick answer

• From Ubud, Tegallalang is 15–20 minutes, Tirta Empul about 30 minutes, and the Kintamani viewpoint about 1 hour.
• Sidemen and Penglipuran make a great quieter loop of about 1–1.5 hours each way.
• Start early for Kintamani: mornings are clearer; afternoons often bring cloud and rain.
• For the climbs, choose a 125–160 cc scooter; scooter rental in Ubud from IDR 70,000/day.

Day trips from Ubud

Two easy loops

1. North loop: Ubud → Tegallalang → Tirta Empul → Kintamani → back via Tegallalang.
2. East loop: Ubud → Penglipuran → Tukad Cepung → Sidemen → back to Ubud before dark.

Road notes

• The road up to Kintamani is a long climb; brake gently on the way down.
• Waterfalls involve stairs and wet paths — wear shoes with grip.
• Temples ask for modest clothing; carry a sarong.

Most waterfalls and temples charge a small entry fee and parking. Carry small notes.

Route guides: Ubud to Kintamani, Sidemen, Bangli & Penglipuran and Gianyar waterfalls. Book in the Bali scooter rental catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best scooter day trip from Ubud?

The north loop to Tegallalang, Tirta Empul and the Kintamani viewpoint is the most popular full-day ride.

How long from Ubud to Kintamani by scooter?

About 1 hour to the main viewpoints, depending on traffic and stops.

Is a 110 cc scooter enough for Kintamani?

Riding solo it can manage, but with a passenger a 125–160 cc scooter is far more comfortable.

When is the best time to ride to Kintamani?

Early morning, when the volcano is usually clearest and the roads are quieter.

Scooters are the easiest way to get around Bali, and plenty of American travellers rent one. The paperwork is what trips people up — especially the difference between a car licence and a motorcycle endorsement. Here's what US visitors need.

Quick answer

• Yes — Americans can rent a scooter in Bali, but should carry a US licence that includes motorcycles (a motorcycle class or endorsement) plus an International Driving Permit (IDP).
• In the US, IDPs are issued by AAA and the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA); get one before you travel.
• An IDP only lists the vehicle classes on your US licence — a car-only licence won't give you the motorcycle category.
• Rentals are paid in rupiah; in our Bali scooter rental catalogue you pay on delivery, from IDR 70,000 (about US$3.9) a day.

What US riders should carry

Getting an IDP in the US

1. Apply through AAA or the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA) — the two organisations authorised to issue IDPs in the US.
2. Bring your valid licence, passport photos and the application form; there is a small fee.
3. Check that the motorcycle category appears on the IDP before you fly.
4. Carry the IDP together with your physical US licence — the IDP isn't valid alone.

Why it matters

• Police checks for licences and helmets are common in Bali's tourist areas.
• Riding without a valid licence can be fined and may void your travel insurance.
• A helmet is required for rider and passenger.

No motorcycle endorsement? Consider a car with a driver for longer trips — see Bali car with driver prices.

More detail: Bali scooter rental for foreign tourists, travel insurance and scooters and Bali scooter rental cost in USD.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a scooter in Bali with a US car licence?

A rental may hand you a bike, but a car-only licence doesn't make you licensed to ride a motorcycle — you risk fines and insurance problems. Get a motorcycle endorsement and an IDP.

Where do I get an International Driving Permit in the US?

From AAA or the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA), before you travel.

Do I need my US licence if I have an IDP?

Yes. The IDP is only valid together with your physical US licence.

How much does a scooter cost in Bali in US dollars?

From about US$3.9 a day in our catalogue, and about US$8.4 for an NMAX.

Australians are some of Bali's most frequent visitors, and "hiring a bike" is part of the plan for many. The catch is the licence: a car licence alone doesn't make you licensed to ride in Indonesia. Here's what you need before you go.

Quick answer

• To ride legally in Bali, Australians should hold a motorcycle (rider) licence at home plus an International Driving Permit that lists the motorcycle category.
• IDPs in Australia are issued through the state and territory motoring clubs (such as NRMA, RACV, RACQ, RAA, RAC WA, RACT and AANT).
• Many Australian travel policies won't pay out for scooter accidents if you weren't properly licensed.
• Scooter hire in our Bali catalogue starts at IDR 70,000 a day — about A$5.7.

What to bring from Australia

Getting an IDP in Australia

1. Apply through your state or territory motoring club, online or in person.
2. Provide your current licence, a passport-style photo and the fee.
3. Make sure the motorcycle category appears on the permit.
4. Carry the IDP with your physical licence when you ride.

Insurance and the law

• Many travel policies exclude claims if you rode without a licence valid for motorcycles.
• Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger in Indonesia.
• Police licence checks are common around Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu.

Your travel policy's motorcycle section often sets an engine-size limit. A 110–125 cc scooter keeps things simple.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire a scooter in Bali with an Australian car licence?

You may be offered a bike, but a car-only licence doesn't licence you to ride. You risk fines and your travel insurance may not pay.

Where do Australians get an International Driving Permit?

Through the state and territory motoring clubs, such as NRMA, RACV, RACQ, RAA, RAC WA, RACT and AANT.

How much is scooter hire in Bali in AUD?

Search for "bike rental Bali" and you'll find scooters, motorbikes and bicycles all mixed together. They're very different machines. Here's how to tell them apart and pick the right one for your trip.

Quick answer

• In Bali, "bike" usually means an automatic scooter such as a Honda BeAT, Scoopy, Vario or Yamaha NMAX.
• A motorbike can also mean a geared or manual bike, like a Yamaha XSR 155 or Honda CRF250 Rally — for experienced riders.
• A bicycle suits short rides in Sanur, Nusa Dua or guided downhill tours from Kintamani.
• Our Bali scooter catalogue has 22 options from IDR 70,000 a day, including manual bikes.

The three types compared

Automatic scooters

Twist-and-go, no gears. This is what most travellers mean by "bike" in Bali. 110 cc models are cheap and easy in town; 125–160 cc models handle hills and passengers better. See the best scooter for exploring Bali.

Manual motorbikes

Geared bikes need clutch control and more experience. They suit riders who already ride manuals at home and want trail roads or a classic feel. Read automatic vs manual scooter rental in Bali.

Bicycles

• Flat beachfront paths in Sanur and Nusa Dua.
• Guided downhill rides from Kintamani to Ubud.
• Not practical for long distances in Bali's heat and traffic.

Whatever you rent, a motorbike or scooter needs a licence valid for motorcycles; bicycles don't.

Bicycle tours: Kintamani–Ubud cycling. Comparison: bicycle vs scooter in Bali. Book a scooter in the Bali scooter rental catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

What does "bike rental" mean in Bali?

Usually an automatic scooter. Some rentals also use "bike" for geared motorbikes or bicycles, so check the model.

Is a scooter or a motorbike better for Bali?

For most travellers an automatic scooter: easier in traffic, cheaper and simpler to park.

Do I need a licence to rent a bicycle in Bali?

No, but you do need a licence valid for motorcycles to ride a scooter or motorbike.

How much is bike rental in Bali?

Scooters start from IDR 70,000 a day in our catalogue; manual motorbikes from IDR 180,000.

Parking a scooter in Canggu and Seminyak is easy once you know the system: attendants, small fees and a few habits that keep your bike and belongings safe. Here's how it works.

Quick answer

• Most cafés, beaches and shops have a parking attendant; expect IDR 2,000–5,000 per stop.
• Beach clubs and big venues usually have their own scooter parking, sometimes with a set fee.
• Lock the steering, take your phone holder off if it holds your phone, and never leave bags on the bike.
• Stay in Canggu or Seminyak? Smaller scooters like a BeAT or Scoopy are easiest to park — Canggu scooter rental from IDR 70,000/day.

How parking works

Keep your scooter safe

1. Lock the steering and take the key.
2. Don't leave bags, phones or surfboards unattended on the bike.
3. Park where the attendant can see the bike, not in dark side lanes.
4. Photograph where you parked if the area is busy.

Avoid problems

• Don't block driveways, temple entrances or ceremonies.
• Check signs before parking on main roads.
• Attendants often move bikes to fit more in — leave the steering unlocked only if they ask, and stay nearby.

Helmets left on the mirror can go missing. Use the under-seat storage when it fits.

What if my scooter is moved by the attendant?

That's normal in busy spots. Ask the attendant, who keeps track of the bikes they move.

Plenty of travellers in their fifties, sixties and beyond enjoy Bali by scooter. A few choices make it far more comfortable and safer: the right bike, the right area and the right time of day.

Quick answer

• Choose a light, low-seat scooter such as a Honda Scoopy or Yamaha Fazzio (seat about 750 mm), especially if you ride two-up.
• Ride in calmer areas like Sanur and Nusa Dua, in the morning, and avoid the 4–7 pm rush.
• Check your travel insurance age limits and motorcycle conditions before you ride.
• If you'd rather not ride in traffic, a car with driver is a relaxed alternative; scooters start at IDR 70,000 a day in our catalogue.

Scooters that suit older riders

Calmest places to ride

• Sanur — wide roads and a relaxed pace.
• Nusa Dua — orderly roads inside the resort area.
• Ubud surroundings in the morning, before tour traffic builds.

Practical tips

1. Test the scooter at handover: put both feet down and try slow turns.
2. Ride in daylight and avoid long distances on day one.
3. Take breaks every hour in the heat and drink water.
4. Check your travel insurance's age limit and motorcycle section.

If balance, eyesight or reaction time worry you, there's no shame in a car with driver — it's often similar in cost when two people share it.

Related: riding in Bali for beginners, travel insurance and scooters and Bali car with driver prices.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an age limit for renting a scooter in Bali?

The rental needs you to be at least 17 with a valid licence. Some travel policies set an upper age limit for cover, so check yours.

Which scooter is easiest for older riders?

A light, low-seat scooter like the Scoopy or Fazzio is easiest to handle.

Where is the safest area to ride in Bali?

Sanur and Nusa Dua have wider, calmer roads, especially in the morning.

Is a car with driver a better option?

For long trips or if you're not confident in traffic, yes — it's relaxed and often good value for two people.

The first day with a rental scooter sets the tone for your whole trip. A few simple steps — at handover, before your first ride and that first evening — prevent most of the problems travellers run into.

Quick answer

• At handover, check brakes, tyres, lights and the STNK, and photograph the scooter all round.
• Set up mobile data and offline maps, fill up at a Pertamina station, and know where you're riding.
• Do a 20–30 minute practice ride on quiet streets before heading into traffic.
• Booked yet? Our Bali scooter catalogue delivers to your hotel, from IDR 70,000 a day, paid on delivery.

Hour 0: at handover

5. Save the rental's WhatsApp number and agree the return time.

Hours 1–3: set up

Hours 3–6: practice ride

Ride 20–30 minutes on quiet streets: start and stop, U-turns, and braking on different surfaces. Bali drives on the left; watch out for scooters overtaking on both sides.

Evening: habits that keep you safe

If anything feels wrong with the bike — soft brakes, a wobbly wheel — stop and message the rental straight away rather than riding on.

Detailed checklists: checking a rental scooter at handover, Google Maps navigation on a scooter and Bali scooter safety tips.

What should I check when I get a rental scooter in Bali?

Brakes, tyres, lights, horn, mirrors, the STNK matching the plate, and photos of the scooter's condition and fuel level.

Should I ride on my first night in Bali?

It's better to keep the first night short or avoid riding, especially after a long flight.

Thousands of British travellers ride scooters in Bali every year, and many of them are not actually covered. The difference comes down to two documents and one line on your licence. Here's what a UK rider needs before renting a scooter in Bali.

Quick answer

• To ride legally in Bali you need your UK licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) that shows the motorcycle category.
• UK IDPs are sold over the counter at Post Office branches; check which IDP type the Post Office lists for Indonesia before you go.
• A car-only (category B) licence does not cover motorcycles; many travel insurers also refuse claims if you aren't licensed to ride at home.
• Scooters start at IDR 70,000/day in the SiapPergi catalogue, 2 helmets included, delivered to your hotel or villa.

What you need as a UK licence holder

Rules and the IDP type accepted for each country can change, so check the Post Office and UK government travel advice for Indonesia shortly before you travel.

What if I only have a car licence?

• A category B (car) licence does not give you motorcycle entitlement in Bali, even for a 110 cc scooter.
• A CBT certificate on its own is not a full motorcycle licence.
• Riding without the right entitlement can mean a fine at a police check and may void your travel insurance.
• If you're not covered, consider a car with driver or ride-hailing instead.

Which scooter to rent

A BeAT or Scoopy is light and easy for town; an NMAX is better for two people and long rides. 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.

Keep a photo of your licence, IDP and passport on your phone, and carry the originals when riding.

Related reading: travel insurance for scooters in Bali, Australian licence holders and every option at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ride a scooter in Bali on a UK licence?

Yes, if your licence includes motorcycle entitlement and you carry a valid International Driving Permit with the motorcycle category.

Where do I get an IDP in the UK?

IDPs are sold at Post Office branches. Bring your photocard licence, a passport photo and the fee.

Does a car licence cover a 110 cc scooter in Bali?

No. You need motorcycle entitlement; a car-only licence isn't enough.

Will my travel insurance cover me?

Only if your policy covers riding and you meet its licence conditions. Read the policy before you ride.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

European licences are well recognised, but Bali's police and your travel insurer will both want proof that you're licensed to ride a motorcycle, not just drive a car. Here's what European travellers should sort out before they fly.

Quick answer

• Bring your EU licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) that shows the motorcycle category (A, A2 or A1).
• IDPs are issued in your home country, for example by the local licensing office in Germany, the ANWB in the Netherlands or ANTS in France.
• A car-only (category B) licence doesn't cover motorcycles; police checks and insurers look for the motorcycle category.
• Scooters start at IDR 70,000/day in the SiapPergi catalogue and are delivered to your accommodation.

Documents checklist

Where to get an IDP depends on your country: in many it's the municipal or regional licensing office, in others the national automobile club. Apply a few weeks before departure.

Common questions from European riders

• Riding is on the left in Indonesia; give yourself a quiet first ride to adjust.
• Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger; two are included with every SiapPergi rental.
• Speeds are low in south Bali, but traffic is dense and unpredictable at junctions.
• Police checkpoints usually ask for licence, IDP and the bike's STNK registration.

Scooter prices

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.

If you're new to left-hand traffic, read our guide to riding on the left in Bali before your first trip.

See also travel insurance for scooters, how to get an IDP and SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my EU licence alone in Bali?

You should carry an International Driving Permit with it. The IDP shows police your motorcycle category in a recognised format.

Where do I get an IDP in the Netherlands?

Dutch IDPs are issued by the ANWB.

Does a car licence cover scooters in Bali?

No. You need motorcycle entitlement on your licence and IDP.

Which side of the road do they ride on in Bali?

On the left. Overtake on the right.

Bali is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Indian travellers, and riding a scooter is the easiest way to get around. The good news: Indian riders already know scooter traffic. Here's the paperwork you need and what's different on Bali's roads.

Quick answer

• Carry your Indian driving licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by your Regional Transport Office (RTO).
• Make sure your licence includes a two-wheeler class (MCWOG for scooters or MCWG for geared bikes) so it appears on the IDP.
• Apply for the IDP through the Parivahan portal or your RTO a few weeks before you travel.
• Scooters start at IDR 70,000/day in the SiapPergi catalogue, with 2 helmets and delivery to your hotel.

Documents you need

What's different from riding in India

• Like India, Indonesia drives on the left, so the road layout will feel familiar.
• Helmets are strictly required for rider and passenger, including on short trips.
• Police checkpoints are common in Kuta, Canggu and on main roads; carry your licence, IDP and the bike's STNK.
• Roads in the hills (Kintamani, Bedugul) are steep and winding; brake early on descents.

Popular scooters and prices

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.

Travelling as a family? Only one passenger is allowed per scooter in Indonesia. For groups, a car with driver is safer and often cheaper.

Read Bali scooter day trips from Ubud, how to get an IDP and browse SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ride in Bali with an Indian licence?

Yes, together with an International Driving Permit issued by your RTO that shows the two-wheeler class.

How do I apply for an IDP in India?

Through the Parivahan portal or your local RTO, with your licence, passport, visa or ticket details and photos.

Do I need MCWG or MCWOG?

MCWOG covers gearless scooters, which are what most people rent in Bali. MCWG covers geared motorcycles.

Is traffic in Bali similar to India?

Both drive on the left and scooters dominate, but Bali's helmet and passenger rules are strictly enforced.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

The International Driving Permit is the one document most travellers forget, and it's the one police in Bali ask for. It's cheap and quick to get at home, but impossible to get once you've landed. Here's where to get one and what to check.

Quick answer

• An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a translation of your licence; you must carry it together with your home licence.
• Get it before you fly: IDPs are issued in the country that issued your licence, not in Bali.
• Examples: AAA (United States), Post Office (United Kingdom), CAA (Canada), AA (New Zealand).
• Make sure the motorcycle category (A) is stamped; an IDP that only covers cars won't help you on a scooter.

Where to get an IDP

Issuers, fees and procedures can change. Check your issuer's website a few weeks before you travel.

What to check on your IDP

• The motorcycle category (A) is stamped or ticked.
• Your name matches your passport and licence.
• It is valid for your travel dates (many IDPs are valid for one year).
• You carry it with your original licence; the IDP alone is not enough.

No IDP? Your options

Without an IDP and motorcycle licence, you risk fines at police checks and your travel insurance may not pay out after an accident. Safer alternatives are a car with driver or ride-hailing. Compare costs in car with driver price per day.

Take a clear photo of your IDP and licence and keep them in your phone in case the originals get wet or lost.

Once your documents are ready, scooters start at IDR 70,000/day. 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. More at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an IDP in Bali?

No. An IDP is issued by the country that issued your driving licence, so get it before you travel.

Is an IDP enough on its own?

No. You must carry it together with your original home licence.

Does my IDP need the motorcycle category?

Yes. For a scooter, the motorcycle category (A) must be on your IDP.

How long is an IDP valid?

Many IDPs are valid for one year from the issue date; check yours.

Planning to island-hop from Bali to the Gilis? Leave the scooter plan behind. The three Gili Islands are car-free and scooter-free, which is a big part of their charm. Here's how to get around and what to do with your Bali rental.

Quick answer

• No. Motorised vehicles aren't allowed on Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno or Gili Air, so there are no scooters to rent.
• You get around on foot, by bicycle or by cidomo (horse cart); rules on electric bikes have changed over the years, so ask locally.
• Reach the Gilis by fast boat from Padang Bai, Serangan or Amed in Bali, or from Lombok.
• Return your Bali scooter before you cross, or keep it only if your accommodation can store it safely.

Getting around each Gili

Getting there from Bali

• Fast boats leave from Padang Bai, Serangan and Amed; journey times are usually 1.5–3 hours depending on the port.
• Book with a confirmed operator and arrive early for check-in.
• Seas can be rough, especially in the afternoon; take seasickness tablets if you're prone.
• Pack light: you'll carry your bags along the beach on arrival.

What to do with your Bali scooter

The simplest option is to end your rental before crossing and book a new one when you're back. Parking a scooter at the harbour for days is risky. See scooter parking at the airport and harbours and returning a rental scooter.

Plan your Bali scooter rental around the trip: rent for the days before and after the Gilis, not during.

A scooter with a surf rack is the classic Bali surf setup: you can check three breaks before breakfast and chase the tide. Here are the main spots by season and skill level, plus how to ride safely with a board.

Quick answer

• In the dry season (about April–October), the west coast and Bukit breaks like Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Bingin and Canggu are at their best.
• In the wet season (about November–March), the east coast breaks such as Keramas and the reefs off Sanur and Nusa Dua often work better.
• Beginners usually start at Kuta, Batu Bolong (Canggu) or Dreamland; Uluwatu and Padang Padang suit experienced surfers.
• Ask for a surf rack: most scooters can carry one shortboard or longboard on the side.

Main surf spots by skill level

Conditions change daily with swell, wind and tide. Check a surf forecast and ask locals before paddling out at reef breaks.

Riding with a surfboard

• Use a side rack fitted by the rental; never carry a board under your arm while riding.
• Strong crosswinds on the Bukit can push the board; slow down on exposed cliff roads.
• Watch the board's width when filtering through traffic and parking.
• Lock the board to the rack or take it with you when you leave the scooter.

Which scooter suits surfers

Most racks fit the Scoopy, Vario and NMAX. 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. Ask for a rack when booking; see scooter rental with a surf rack.

Dawn patrol is quieter on the roads too: you'll beat both the crowds in the water and the traffic in Canggu.

Area guides: Pecatu & Bingin, scooter rental in Uluwatu, scooter rental in Canggu and SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Where should beginners surf in Bali?

Kuta Beach, Batu Bolong in Canggu and Dreamland are popular beginner spots.

When is the surf season in Bali?

The dry season (about April–October) suits the west and Bukit; the wet season (about November–March) suits the east coast.

Can I rent a scooter with a surf rack?

Yes. Ask when booking; racks fit most popular scooters.

Is it safe to ride with a surfboard?

Yes with a proper side rack, slower speeds and extra care in crosswinds.

Watching the sun rise over Mount Agung from the top of Mount Batur is one of Bali's best experiences. Riding there yourself saves money and gives you freedom afterwards, but the pre-dawn ride is serious. Here's how to do it safely.

Quick answer

• The trek to Mount Batur's summit (about 1,717 m) usually starts around 4 am so you reach the top for sunrise.
• From Ubud the ride takes about 1–1.5 hours, mostly uphill and in the dark: only do it if you're a confident rider.
• Hiring a local guide is the norm on Batur; arrange one through your accommodation or a trekking operator.
• Bring a warm jacket, gloves and a head torch; it's cold at the summit before sunrise.

Sample timeline from Ubud

Times are estimates and shift with the season. Your guide will confirm the meeting time and place.

Riding up in the dark

• Check the headlight, brakes and tyres the evening before.
• Ride slowly: dogs, potholes and unlit bends are common on the climb.
• Wear warm layers for the ride; temperatures drop as you climb.
• If you're tired or unsure, book a transfer and ride to Kintamani later in daylight.

Which scooter to take

For two people on the long climb, choose a 155–160 cc scooter. 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.

On the way down after the trek, use both brakes and take breaks; tired legs and steep descents are a risky mix.

Route guides: Ubud to Kintamani, scooter rental in Kintamani and SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

What time does the Batur sunrise trek start?

Usually around 4 am, so you reach the summit for sunrise.

How long is the ride from Ubud to Mount Batur?

About 1–1.5 hours, uphill and in the dark.

Do I need a guide for Mount Batur?

Hiring a local guide is the norm; arrange one through your accommodation or an operator.

Is it safe to ride to Batur at night?

Only for confident riders on a well-checked scooter. Otherwise take a transfer.

The Kecak dance on the clifftop at Uluwatu, with the sun setting over the Indian Ocean, is one of Bali's most popular evenings. By scooter you can get there easily, but timing and parking make all the difference. Here's how to plan it.

Quick answer

• The Kecak fire dance at Uluwatu Temple is performed at sunset; arrive at least an hour early for parking and seats.
• Park in the temple's official scooter area and keep sunglasses, hats and phones secure: the temple monkeys are famous thieves.
• Temple dress code applies: a sarong and sash are provided at the entrance.
• After the show, Jalan Uluwatu jams; wait 20–30 minutes or leave just before the finale.

Plan your evening

Show times and ticket prices are set by the temple management and can change; check on the day.

Monkeys and valuables

• Remove sunglasses and hats before walking the cliff path.
• Keep phones in a zipped bag or pocket.
• Don't carry food openly.
• If something is taken, ask temple staff for help rather than chasing the monkey.

Getting there and back

From Canggu or Seminyak allow 1–1.5 hours; from Jimbaran or Nusa Dua 30–45 minutes. The road back is dark and busy, so ride calmly and keep your lights on. Routes are covered in Canggu to Uluwatu and the Uluwatu beach route.

Pair the Kecak with an afternoon at Melasti or Padang Padang beach so you're already on the Bukit before the evening rush.

Scooters from IDR 70,000/day. 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 Uluwatu and SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

If you come from the US, Canada or mainland Europe, riding on the left takes a few days to feel natural. Most mistakes happen at junctions and when pulling out of a parking spot. These habits will help you adjust quickly.

Quick answer

• Indonesia drives on the left: keep left and overtake on the right.
• The most dangerous moments are turning and pulling out: say "left, left, left" in your head as you turn.
• Left turns hug the kerb; right turns cross oncoming traffic, so wait for a clear gap.
• Locals use a light tap of the horn to say "I'm here", not to show anger.

Key differences

Habits that keep you safe

• Practise on a quiet road in the morning before tackling busy junctions.
• Check both mirrors and look over your right shoulder before changing lanes.
• After stopping at a café or petrol station, pause before pulling out and remind yourself to keep left.
• Expect scooters to pass on both sides; hold your line and don't swerve.

Reading local riders

A short horn tap means "I'm here". Indicators aren't always used, so watch the rider's head and position instead. At junctions, larger vehicles often take priority in practice, even when the rules say otherwise. More rules in Bali traffic rules & police checks.

Your first ride should be in daylight, solo, without luggage and on a light scooter such as a BeAT or Scoopy.

Scooters from IDR 70,000/day. 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. Also read can Americans rent a scooter in Bali and visit SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bali drive on the left or right?

On the left, like the UK and Australia.

Which side do you overtake on in Bali?

On the right.

What is the hardest part for right-hand drivers?

Turning at junctions and pulling out from parking spots.

Why do Bali riders honk so much?

A short horn tap usually means "I'm here", a safety signal rather than anger.

Many travellers fall in love with Bali and stay longer than planned. Extending your scooter rental is usually easy, and it can even lower your daily price. Here's how to do it and what to check.

Quick answer

• Message the rental at least a day before your rental ends; most extensions are agreed by chat without returning the bike.
• If your total stay passes about 5–7 days, ask to switch to the weekly rate; past a few weeks, the monthly rate is far cheaper per day.
• Example: a Scoopy is IDR 90,000/day, IDR 515,000/week or IDR 1,410,000/month in the SiapPergi catalogue.
• Before extending, check the bike: brakes, tyres and oil change if you'll ride for weeks more.

Daily vs weekly vs monthly

SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices. "Ask" means the package isn't listed for that model; the admin can quote the best option for your dates.

How to extend

1. Message the admin on WhatsApp with your new end date.
2. Ask whether a weekly or monthly rate now applies.
3. Agree on how to pay the extra days.
4. Ask about an oil change or service if you'll keep the bike for weeks.

Things to check

• Your licence, IDP and travel insurance are still valid for the new dates.
• The bike's STNK registration is still in the scooter.
• Tyres and brakes are in good shape for more riding.
• Any scratches since handover are reported now, not at the end.

If you're moving to another area of Bali, mention it when you extend: the rental may swap the bike or arrange a pickup there.

Young travellers often ask whether they can rent a scooter in Bali. The answer depends on three things: your age, your home licence and whether you can get an International Driving Permit. Here's how they fit together.

Quick answer

• In Indonesia, the minimum age for a motorcycle licence (SIM C) is 17, and the SiapPergi catalogue rents to riders 17 and over with a valid licence.
• For foreigners, the real minimum is often 18, because many countries only issue an International Driving Permit from age 18.
• You need a home licence with the motorcycle category plus an IDP; age alone isn't enough.
• Under 18 or without a licence? Ride as a passenger with a licensed adult, or use a car with driver.

Age rules at a glance

What young riders should check

• Your home licence includes the motorcycle category.
• Your country issues an IDP at your age.
• Your travel insurance covers riding at your age.
• You're confident in heavy, left-hand traffic.

Options if you can't rent

Ride as a passenger with a licensed adult (one passenger per scooter, helmet required), or book a car with driver for day trips. Compare in car with driver price per day.

Cards work in much of south Bali, but the moment you ride out to temples, waterfalls and villages, cash is king. Here's how much to carry and how to get it safely.

Quick answer

• Carry small notes: scooter parking is often around IDR 2,000–5,000, and many warungs and roadside fuel sellers are cash only.
• Use ATMs inside banks, malls or supermarkets, and cover the keypad to avoid skimming.
• Big petrol stations, cafés and restaurants often take cards or QR payments, but village places usually don't.
• Keep cash split between your wallet and your bag, never under the scooter seat.

Typical cash costs on a scooter day

Prices are indicative and change. Check signs and ask before you pay.

Using ATMs safely

• Choose ATMs inside banks, malls or supermarkets.
• Cover the keypad and check the card slot for loose parts.
• Withdraw larger amounts less often to reduce fees.
• Don't let anyone "help" you at the machine.

Keep a small amount in an easy pocket for parking and the rest in a zipped bag. Never leave cash or cards under the seat when you park. For fuel tips, see fuel, petrol stations & parking and saving fuel.

Break big notes at a supermarket or petrol station before heading to the villages; small stalls often can't change IDR 100,000 notes.

Many travellers hesitate to send a deposit to a rental they've never met. Fair enough: scooter rental scams in Bali almost always start with a request for money upfront. This guide explains how to rent a scooter in Bali with no down payment, what to prepare, and how to pay safely when the bike arrives.

Quick answer

• In the SiapPergi catalogue you rent a scooter in Bali with no down payment: you pay in full when the bike arrives, by bank transfer or e-wallet.
• Prices start at IDR 70,000/day across 22 scooters; minimum rental is 2 days and 2 helmets are included.
• Be wary of rentals asking for a full upfront transfer to an account you can't verify before you've seen the bike — the most common scam pattern.
• Book via the Bali scooter rental catalogue or WhatsApp; the admin confirms the bike, final price and delivery time before it leaves.

What does "no down payment" mean?

No down payment means you pay nothing before the scooter is delivered. The booking is confirmed by chat, the bike comes to your hotel, villa or the airport, you check it, then you pay in full on the spot. If the bike isn't as described, you haven't lost any money.

In the SiapPergi catalogue this applies to all 22 scooters: 2-day minimum, 2 helmets included, and payment on delivery by bank transfer or e-wallet.

How to rent a scooter in Bali with no down payment

1. Choose a scooter and dates in the catalogue, or send your area, dates and model on WhatsApp.
2. Wait for the admin's confirmation: available bike, final price, delivery time and place.
3. Have your licence ready (foreigners: home licence + IDP) and your original ID/passport.
4. When the bike arrives, check brakes, tyres, lights and the STNK, and photograph its condition with the courier.
5. Pay in full once everything matches, and keep the payment receipt.

Example costs with no down payment

These are SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices. The delivery fee and availability are confirmed by the admin before the bike leaves.

Down-payment scams to avoid

• A price far below the market, followed by a request for full payment "so nobody else takes the bike".
• A personal bank account that doesn't match the business name, with no clear address or handover point.
• Refusing a video call or a fresh photo of the bike dated today.
• Pressure to transfer within minutes.

If any rental asks for a deposit upfront, ask for proof of the business and an address you can check. Safer still: choose a rental that takes payment when the bike arrives.

The full checklist for trustworthy rentals is in trusted scooter rental in Bali; document requirements are in Bali scooter rental requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Can you really rent a scooter in Bali with no down payment?

Yes. In the SiapPergi catalogue you pay in full when the scooter arrives, after checking it. Some other rentals still ask for a deposit, so ask before booking.

How do I pay when the scooter is delivered?

By bank transfer or e-wallet on delivery. Keep the payment receipt.

What is the minimum rental with no down payment?

The SiapPergi catalogue minimum is 2 days; the daily rate is per 24 hours.

Is renting with no down payment more expensive?

No. Catalogue prices are the same, from IDR 70,000 a day, and weekly or monthly rentals are cheaper per day.

Many flights to Bali land close to midnight. After immigration and baggage claim you may only leave the terminal after 11 pm. Can you ride off straight away? You can, but it isn't always wise. Here are the realistic options.

Quick answer

• Book before you fly and include your flight number and landing time, so the handover time is agreed in advance.
• For late-night landings, the safest option is usually a taxi to your hotel and scooter delivery the next morning — new roads, fatigue and darkness are a risky mix.
• If you still want the bike that night, stay near the airport (Kuta, Tuban, Jimbaran) and stick to main roads.
• Book via scooter rental at Ngurah Rai Airport or the scooter catalogue; the admin confirms the delivery time before you travel.

Three options for night arrivals

Why you shouldn't ride on your first night

• Roads around the airport have many U-turns and one-way sections that are confusing in the dark.
• Fatigue after a long flight slows your reactions.
• Street lighting outside tourist areas is often poor.
• Your phone navigation may not be ready if your SIM or eSIM isn't active yet.

Full night-riding tips are in riding a scooter at night in Bali.

How to book so a night handover goes smoothly

1. Book at least a day ahead and send your flight number.
2. Agree a clear meeting point and an active WhatsApp number.
3. Tell the admin if your flight is delayed — don't leave the courier waiting without news.
4. Check the headlight, brake light and indicators before riding; at night these matter most.

Activate an eSIM or data plan before landing, and download an offline map of Kuta–Seminyak in Google Maps.

Airport handover details are in scooter rental at Bali airport. If you'd rather have it delivered to your stay, read scooter delivery to your hotel & villa.

Frequently asked questions

Can a scooter be handed over at the airport at midnight?

It depends on courier availability. Book early, send your flight number and wait for the handover time to be confirmed before you fly.

Is it better to take a taxi first or ride straight away?

With a big suitcase, a far destination or on your first trip to Bali, a taxi first and morning delivery is usually safer.

Is there an extra charge for night delivery?

The delivery fee is confirmed by the admin before you pay; ask early if the time is outside normal hours.

What should I check on the scooter at night?

Headlight and tail light, indicators, horn, brakes and fuel level. Photograph the bike's condition with your phone light too.

Kuta to Ubud is the route most travelling riders take in Bali: from the beach to the cultural heart and rice fields. The road is easy, but it can get very busy at certain times. Here are the routes, timings and stops worth making.

Quick answer

• Kuta to Ubud is about 35 km; by scooter it usually takes 1–1.5 hours, longer at weekends and in the afternoon.
• The favourite route: Ngurah Rai Bypass → Ida Bagus Mantra Bypass → Batubulan → Celuk → Sukawati → Mas → Ubud.
• Stops along the way: Celuk silver, Sukawati Art Market and Mas wood carving.
• A 110–125 cc automatic is enough for this route; scooter rental in Kuta starts from IDR 70,000/day.

Route options

Timing & traffic hotspots

• Weekday mornings (before 8 am): smoothest, about 1 hour.
• Afternoons (4–7 pm): heavy on the Ngurah Rai Bypass and at the Dewa Ruci junction.
• Weekends and long holidays: busy in Batubulan and around Sukawati Market.
• Temple ceremonies can close roads briefly; follow the pecalang (village wardens).

Stops along the way

1. Batubulan — morning Barong dance performances.
2. Celuk — the silver-craft village.
3. Sukawati Art Market — fabrics, paintings and crafts; be ready to bargain.
4. Mas — wood-carving village just before Ubud.

Which scooter suits the route

The route is mostly flat with gentle climbs into Ubud. A Honda Vario 125 (IDR 100,000/day) is comfortable with a passenger, while a Honda BeAT (IDR 80,000/day) is enough riding solo. Prices from the Bali scooter rental catalogue.

Leave before 8 am or after 10 am to avoid school and work traffic on the bypass.

Once there, continue on the Ubud to Kintamani route or read our guide to scooter rental in Ubud.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Kuta from Ubud?

About 35 km, depending on where you start in Kuta and the route you take.

How long does it take to ride from Kuta to Ubud?

Usually 1–1.5 hours. In the afternoon or at weekends it can take nearly 2 hours.

Is the route OK for beginners?

Surfers and sunset chasers often shuttle between Canggu and Uluwatu. It isn't far, but the route crosses the busiest junctions in south Bali. Leave at the right time and the ride is much quicker.

Quick answer

• Canggu to Uluwatu is about 35 km; by scooter 1–1.5 hours, and 2+ hours in the late afternoon.
• Main route: Canggu → Sunset Road → Dewa Ruci junction → Ngurah Rai Bypass → Jimbaran → Jl. Raya Uluwatu.
• Avoid 4–7 pm: Sunset Road and the Dewa Ruci junction are at their busiest.
• For the Bukit climbs and a passenger, an NMAX or Vario is more comfortable; catalogue prices from IDR 70,000/day.

The main route step by step

1. From Canggu head towards Kerobokan via Jl. Raya Canggu or Umalas.
2. Join Sunset Road towards Kuta.
3. At the Dewa Ruci junction, take the Ngurah Rai Bypass south past the airport.
4. Continue to Jimbaran, then turn onto Jl. Raya Uluwatu, which climbs onto the Bukit Peninsula.
5. Follow signs to Pecatu, Bingin, Padang Padang or Uluwatu Temple.

When to leave

Beaches to stop at

• Bingin and Padang Padang — surf and cliffs.
• Suluban — a beach tucked into a gap in the cliffs near Uluwatu.
• Melasti — a photogenic cliff road.
• Uluwatu Temple — sunset and the Kecak dance; arrive early because parking fills fast.

Bringing a surfboard? Make sure the scooter has a board rack and the board is strapped tight before you hit the bypass.

Board-rack tips are in scooter rental with a surf rack. The full list of Bukit beaches is in the Uluwatu beach route, and bikes are on scooter rental in Uluwatu.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Canggu from Uluwatu?

About 35 km, depending on where you start in Canggu and which beach you head to in Uluwatu.

How long does it take to ride from Canggu to Uluwatu?

About 1–1.5 hours; in the late afternoon it can take more than 2 hours because of traffic.

Can I take the toll road?

The Bali Mandara toll road links Benoa, the airport and Nusa Dua, so it doesn't cut directly across the Canggu–Uluwatu route.

Which scooter suits the ride?

A 125 cc or bigger automatic is comfortable on the Bukit climbs; an NMAX or PCX is more stable with a passenger or a board.

The Yamaha Fazzio quickly became popular in Bali thanks to its retro look, bright colours and economical 125 cc engine. On the streets of Canggu and Seminyak it's a favourite with travellers who want a stylish scooter without a bulky body. Here's what to know before you rent one.

The Honda ADV 160 is an adventure-style scooter: a high riding position, long-travel suspension and ABS brakes. If you want to explore beyond south Bali — Kintamani, Sidemen, all the way to the Amed coast — it gives extra confidence on steep and rough roads.

Quick answer

• Honda ADV 160 ABS rental in Bali: IDR 180,000/day and IDR 3,010,000/month (SiapPergi catalogue).
• A ±157 cc liquid-cooled engine, ABS brakes and taller suspension — comfortable on climbs and potholed village roads.
• Great for Kintamani, Sidemen, Bedugul, Amed and North Bali; less nimble in Canggu's narrow lanes.
• For smooth tarmac and a passenger, an NMAX or PCX is cheaper per day.

Quick specs

Spec figures may vary depending on the version and production year.

Prices & comparison

When to choose the ADV 160

• Mountain routes: Kintamani, Bedugul, Munduk.
• East Bali village roads: Sidemen, Amed, Lempuyang.
• Multi-day trips with luggage.
• Tall riders who want room for their legs.

When not to

If you'll spend most of your time in Canggu, Seminyak or Kuta, the ADV's tall, wide body is less nimble in narrow lanes and café car parks. A 110–125 cc automatic is more practical and cheaper.

The ADV seat is fairly high. Sit on it at handover and put your feet down; if only your toes touch the ground, choose another scooter.

Routes that suit it: Ubud to Kintamani, Sidemen and East Bali & Lempuyang. Book in the Bali scooter rental catalogue — from IDR 70,000/day for other scooters.

Is the ADV 160 an automatic?

Yes, the ADV 160 is an automatic scooter, so there are no gears to change.

Not everyone arrives in Bali by plane. Many travellers from Java come in through Gilimanuk, and many island-hop via Padangbai or Sanur. Here's how to arrange a rental scooter around Bali's main harbours.

Quick answer

• Gilimanuk (from Banyuwangi/Ketapang): the land gateway from Java; a scooter can be delivered near the harbour or to your stay in Negara.
• Padangbai: the harbour for Lombok and fast boats to the Gilis/Nusa Penida; rent in the Candidasa–Padangbai area.
• Sanur: the fast-boat point for Nusa Penida & Lembongan; rent in Sanur and return the bike before you cross.
• Book via the Bali scooter rental catalogue (from IDR 70,000/day) and give the harbour as the handover point.

Main harbours & rental tips

Arriving from Java via Gilimanuk

Gilimanuk sits at Bali's western tip. The ride from Gilimanuk to Denpasar is long, so many people take a bus to Denpasar and rent a scooter there. If you want to ride straight away, agree the handover point and the boat's arrival time in advance. See also to Bali by bus, then rent a scooter and scooter rental in Jembrana & Negara.

Crossing to Nusa Penida from Sanur

Rental scooters from mainland Bali are generally not taken on fast boats. The easiest plan: return the bike in Sanur before crossing, then rent a separate scooter on Nusa Penida. Guides: scooter rental on Nusa Penida and taking a rental scooter to another island.

Harbour handover checklist

1. Send the harbour name and the boat's estimated arrival time.
2. Agree an easy meeting point, such as the passenger exit.
3. Tell the admin if the boat is delayed.
4. Check and photograph the scooter before riding off.

Parking around harbours is usually paid and busy. Don't leave your helmet or belongings on the scooter.

Area options: scooter rental in Sanur and scooter rental in Candidasa & Padangbai.

Frequently asked questions

Can a scooter be delivered to Gilimanuk harbour?

Ask when booking. Because it's far from south Bali, the fee and delivery time are confirmed by the admin first.

Can I take a rental scooter to Nusa Penida?

Generally not on fast boats. Return the bike in Sanur and rent separately on Nusa Penida.

Where can I rent a scooter near Padangbai?

In the Candidasa–Padangbai area; a bike can also be delivered from south Bali for a delivery fee.

What if my boat is late?

Message the admin on WhatsApp as soon as possible so the handover time can be adjusted.

If 3 or 7 days feels rushed, two weeks gives you room to really enjoy Bali by scooter: southern beaches, the Jatiluwih rice terraces, the Bedugul lakes, Lovina's black sand, the Kintamani caldera and the Amed coast. Here's a day-by-day plan you can adapt.

Quick answer

• 14 days is enough to loop Bali: south → west → north → mountains → east → back south.

Day-by-day plan

Estimated transport costs

Tips for a long trip

• Refuel when the tank is half empty — petrol stations are scarce on mountain roads.
• Pack a raincoat, a power bank and a sarong for temple visits.
• Keep one spare day in case of bad weather.

If you want to return the scooter somewhere other than where you collected it, ask early. Read one-way scooter rental in Bali.

For example: Kuta/Jimbaran, Canggu, Munduk, Lovina, Kintamani, Ubud, Sidemen and Amed.

The Honda Stylo 160 is Honda's newest retro scooter in Indonesia. It looks like a rounded Scoopy, but it has a 160 cc engine. In Bali that combination appeals to travellers who want to look good in Canggu or Seminyak without running out of power on the climb to Ubud or Bedugul.

Quick answer

• The Honda Stylo 160 costs IDR 130,000/day and IDR 1,810,000/month in the SiapPergi catalogue; 2-day minimum, 2 helmets included.
• The Stylo 160 shares its 160 cc engine class with the Vario 160 but wears a rounded retro body; there is enough power for Ubud hills and riding two-up.
• It suits travellers who want a classic-looking scooter with more power than the 110 cc Scoopy.
• Book via the Bali scooter rental catalogue or WhatsApp; the bike is delivered to your hotel, villa or the airport.

Honda Stylo 160 rental prices in Bali

These are SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices. A weekly package marked "-" is not available for that model yet; count daily or choose monthly. Delivery fee and availability are confirmed by the admin before the bike leaves.

Stylo 160 pros and cons

• 160 cc engine: easier acceleration two-up and on hills than a 110 cc scooter.
• Photogenic retro style, perfect for cafés and beaches in Canggu, Seminyak and Uluwatu.
• A wider seat than the Scoopy, so it is more comfortable for two.
• It costs more per day than a BeAT or Scoopy, and it is a little heavier to push in tight car parks.

Stylo 160, Scoopy or Vario 160?

Choose the Scoopy if you ride solo and want to save money. Choose the Vario 160 if storage and efficiency over long distances matter most. Choose the Stylo 160 if you want retro looks with Vario 160-level power. For long two-up trips with lots of hills, a maxi-scooter like the NMAX or PCX is still more comfortable.

At handover, ask the courier to show you how to open the seat and fuel cap. Many retro models use a different key or button from ordinary scooters.

For choosing a scooter by route, see the best scooter for touring Bali. For every option, visit SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

In the SiapPergi catalogue it is IDR 130,000 per day and IDR 1,810,000 per month, with a 2-day minimum.

Is the Stylo 160 good for beginners?

Yes. The 160 cc engine copes with Kintamani and Bedugul, even two-up, as long as you ride calmly.

Can it be delivered to the airport?

Yes. Bikes are delivered to Ngurah Rai Airport, hotels or villas; the admin confirms the delivery time.

Plenty of travellers want NMAX power without the NMAX bulk. The Yamaha Lexi 155 answers that: a 155 cc engine, a relaxed riding position and a more compact body. This guide covers the rental price, its strengths, and when the Lexi beats the NMAX or Vario.

Quick answer

• The Yamaha Lexi 155 costs IDR 130,000/day and IDR 1,910,000/month in the SiapPergi catalogue.
• The Lexi 155 uses a 155 cc engine in the NMAX class but has a slimmer body, so it threads through narrow Canggu and Kuta streets more easily.
• Its flat floor makes it easy to carry shopping bags or a small backpack.
• Pick the Lexi if the NMAX feels too big but you still need power for a passenger and hills.

Yamaha Lexi 155 rental prices

SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices; 2-day minimum and 2 helmets included. A weekly package marked "-" is not yet available for that model.

Why the Lexi 155 works on Bali's roads

• Slimmer than the NMAX: easier to park in busy Seminyak, Kuta and Canggu.
• The 155 cc engine still has plenty of power for two people and moderate hills.
• A flat floor for bags, shopping or a spare helmet.
• An upright, relaxed seating position that stays comfortable for 1–2 hour rides.

Lexi or NMAX?

For long rides to Kintamani, Amed or Lovina the NMAX is more stable thanks to its bigger tyres and body. For towns, beaches and cafés with the occasional trip to Ubud, the Lexi is nimbler and usually cheaper per day.

If you are tall or often ride two-up with luggage, sit on the bike at handover. Make sure your knees aren't bent too tightly and your passenger's feet sit comfortably on the footrests.

Also compare NMAX vs PCX and browse every option at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

The engines are in the same class, but the Lexi is slimmer and lighter while the NMAX is bigger, more stable and more comfortable for long distances.

Which licence do I need to rent a Lexi?

A class C licence for Indonesians; foreign visitors bring their home licence plus an IDP covering motorcycles.

Not everyone wants a scooter. For riders who love manual bikes, the Yamaha XSR 155 offers neo-retro style with a 155 cc engine and six gears. In Bali it really shines on winding mountain roads. Here is what to know before you rent one.

Quick answer

• The Yamaha XSR 155 costs IDR 180,000/day and IDR 3,010,000/month in the SiapPergi catalogue.
• The XSR 155 is a manual retro sport bike (clutch and gears), not an automatic scooter.
• It suits riders used to manual bikes who want to enjoy mountain roads like Kintamani and Bedugul.
• It is not for beginners or for Kuta–Seminyak traffic jams, where constant clutch work tires your hand.

XSR 155 rental price and comparisons

SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices; 2-day minimum and 2 helmets included.

Requirements and skills you need

• A valid class C licence (foreign visitors: home licence + IDP category A/motorcycle).
• Comfort with a clutch and gear changes, including on hills.
• Happy with a slightly more forward riding position than a scooter.
• Ready to carry things in a backpack, as there is no under-seat storage.

Best routes for the XSR 155

The Ubud–Kintamani road, Bedugul–Munduk and the west coast towards Medewi are where the XSR is most fun: long bends, lighter traffic and open views. See the Ubud–Kintamani route and the Bedugul–Munduk route.

On long descents, use a low gear for engine braking so the brakes don't overheat. Don't coast down with the clutch pulled in.

The Honda Vario 160 is often called Indonesia's most versatile scooter: nimble enough for town, strong enough for hills, and with practical storage. In Bali it suits travellers on longer rentals who want one bike for every kind of trip.

Quick answer

• The Honda Vario 160 costs IDR 130,000/day and IDR 1,910,000/month in the SiapPergi catalogue.

Why the Vario 160 works

• A responsive 160 cc engine for hills and safe overtaking.

Big bikes are heavier to push in car parks. Choose accommodation with flat, roomy parking and avoid Canggu's small roads at rush hour.

Frequently asked questions

Pecatu and Bingin are the surfers' accommodation hub on the Uluwatu Bukit. The famous beaches are minutes away, but public transport is almost non-existent. That's why a scooter is the most practical way to get around. Here's a guide to scooter rental in Pecatu and Bingin.

Quick answer

• Pecatu and Bingin are on the Uluwatu Bukit, about 30–45 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport; the bike can be delivered straight to your villa or homestay.
• Rentals start at IDR 70,000/day in the SiapPergi catalogue; for Bukit hills, a 125–160 cc scooter is more comfortable two-up.
• Access to Bingin Beach is via steep steps; park on the clifftop and walk down.
• Bukit roads are windy and sandy in places; don't speed on bends near the cliffs.

Scooters that suit the Bukit

Bukit roads go up and down constantly. Solo, a Vario 125 is enough; two-up or with a surfboard, choose a Vario 160 or NMAX. Ask the admin about a surf rack; see scooter rental with a surf rack.

Nearby beaches and where to park

• Bingin Beach: park on the clifftop, then walk down the steps and small lanes.
• Dreamland: a large car park near the resort area and a wide sandy beach.
• Padang Padang: park beside the main road and walk down through the rock gap to the beach.
• Uluwatu and Suluban: park at the top and walk to the cliffs and cave.

Safety tips on Bukit roads

Strong clifftop winds can push a light scooter, especially when you carry a surfboard. Sand blown onto the tarmac makes tyres slide on bends. Turn your lights on from late afternoon, as many village roads are poorly lit. The full beach route is in the Uluwatu beach route.

Don't leave valuables under the seat while you're down at the beach. Carry small cash for parking.

Tanah Lot and Uluwatu are famous for sunsets, but very crowded.

Is there an entrance fee?

Tourist temples usually charge entry and parking; carry cash.

Canggu and Ubud are two of Bali's favourite places, and many travellers ride back and forth between them. The ride from Canggu to Ubud is enjoyable if you pick the right route and leave at the right time.

Quick answer

• Canggu to Ubud is about 35 km, taking 1–1.5 hours.
• Two common options: via Kerobokan–Denpasar–Batubulan (main roads) or Mengwi–Sayan (village and rice-field roads).
• The village route is prettier but narrow; the town route is wider but jammed at rush hour.
• Head back from Ubud before dark if you don't know the poorly lit village roads yet.

Two route options

Google Maps usually picks a mix of both. Follow the most sensible direction and avoid lanes that are too small.

Trip tips

• Leave before 09:00 to avoid traffic in Kerobokan and Denpasar.
• Watch for trucks and buses on Jalan Raya Batubulan.
• Use official parking when you reach Ubud; the centre is busy with many one-way streets.
• Keep a raincoat under the seat, as it rains more often in Ubud than in Canggu.

Stops along the way

On the village route you can stop at Mengwi's rice fields, Pura Taman Ayun, or a café overlooking the Sayan valley. See also scooter rental in Ubud, the Kuta to Ubud route and the Gianyar waterfall route.

In Ubud, Jalan Monkey Forest and Jalan Hanoman are one-way. Follow the signs so you don't go round in circles.

Good bikes: a Vario 125/160 or an NMAX for two. Every option at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Canggu from Ubud?

About 35 km, 1–1.5 hours by scooter.

Which route is best?

The Mengwi–Sayan village route for views; the Denpasar–Batubulan town route for wider roads.

Can I do it as a day trip?

Yes. Many travellers from Canggu leave in the morning and come back before dark.

Which scooter suits it?

A Vario 125/160 solo; an NMAX or PCX for two.

Got one free day and want to see as much as possible? It's tempting to try to circle the whole island, but winding roads and traffic make that exhausting. Here are three one-day routes that are realistic and still memorable.

Quick answer

• Bali is too big to circle in a day; pick one region so you don't spend the day on the road.
• Best options: Ubud (rice terraces, temples, waterfalls), Bedugul–Tanah Lot (lakes and a sea temple), or the Uluwatu Bukit (beaches and cliffs).
• A realistic total is 80–120 km in a day, leaving at 07:00–08:00.
• Plan to be back before dark and take a break every 1–1.5 hours.

Three one-day routes

Distances are from Kuta and are estimates. From Canggu, the Bedugul–Tanah Lot route is closer; from Sanur or Nusa Dua, the Bukit route is more practical.

Sample schedule: the Ubud route

1. 07:30 leave Kuta or Seminyak.
2. 09:00 Tegallalang before the crowds.
3. 11:00 Tirta Empul, then lunch in Ubud.
4. 14:00 Tegenungan waterfall or Goa Gajah.
5. 16:30 head back south before dark.

Tips to avoid exhaustion

Limit yourself to 3–4 stops. Rest and drink every 1–1.5 hours. Avoid mountain roads after dark. For longer trips, see the 3-day itinerary or the 7-day one.

Fill the tank before you leave and carry a raincoat. The weather in Ubud and Bedugul can change fast.

For a one-day rental, note the minimum rental period; see daily scooter rental in Bali. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see all of Bali in one day?

Technically yes, but most of the time is spent on the road. It's better to pick one region.

Which one-day route is most popular?

The Ubud route: Tegallalang rice terraces, Tirta Empul and a waterfall.

What time should I leave?

07:00–08:00, so you arrive before the crowds and get back before dark.

Which scooter suits a full day?

A 125–160 cc scooter like a Vario or NMAX, especially two-up.

Daily rental is the most common way to rent a scooter in Bali. But many renters get confused: is it per date or per 24 hours? Is there a minimum? When is a weekly rate cheaper? This guide answers all of that with catalogue prices.

Quick answer

• Daily scooter rental in the SiapPergi catalogue starts at IDR 70,000/day across 22 scooters.
• The daily rate is counted per 24 hours from when you receive the bike, not by calendar date.
• The SiapPergi catalogue has a 2-day minimum; if you need a bike for 1 day, it's priced as 2 days, or consider a taxi.
• From around 5–7 days, a weekly package is usually cheaper per day.

Example daily, weekly and monthly prices

SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices. The delivery fee and availability are confirmed by the admin before the bike leaves.

How the daily rate is counted

• One day = 24 hours from when you receive the bike. Example: received Monday 10:00, the first day ends Tuesday 10:00.
• Returning a few hours late may be charged extra; ask about the rule at handover.
• Two helmets are included; raincoats and other accessories may be add-ons.
• Fuel is on the renter; return the bike with the same amount of fuel or as agreed.

Need a scooter for just 1 day?

Because of the 2-day minimum, a one-day rental is priced as two days. If you only need a bike for a few hours, ride-hailing or a driver may make more sense. The comparison is in scooter vs ride-hailing vs car rental.

Plan your return time from the start, for example a few hours before your flight, so you avoid extra charges.

For longer rentals, read weekly scooter rental and monthly rental. Book at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a daily scooter rental in Bali?

From IDR 70,000 per day in the SiapPergi catalogue, depending on the model.

Can I rent a scooter for just 1 day?

The SiapPergi catalogue has a 2-day minimum, so a one-day rental is priced as two days.

Is the daily rate counted per date?

No, per 24 hours from when you receive the bike.

When is a weekly package cheaper?

Usually from about 5–7 days of rental, a weekly package is cheaper per day.

Tyre pressure is easy to forget when you rent a scooter. Yet a tyre that is under- or over-inflated affects braking, stability on bends and the risk of punctures. Here's a quick guide to keep your rental safe.

Quick answer

• Automatic scooters of 110–160 cc typically run about 29 psi front and 33 psi rear; the exact figure is on the bike's sticker or in the manual.
• With a passenger or luggage, the rear tyre is usually recommended slightly firmer, per the manual.
• Pump up at a petrol station, workshop or roadside tyre repair stall; it usually costs only a few thousand rupiah.
• An under-inflated tyre makes the steering heavy, the bike wobble on bends and the brakes less sharp.

Typical tyre pressures

These are general estimates. Follow the figure on the bike's sticker or in the manual, as it can differ by model and tyre size.

Signs of an under-inflated tyre

• The steering feels heavy and the bike is hard to point.
• The bike feels wobbly or weaves through bends.
• The tyre looks flattened at the bottom when you sit on the bike.
• The tyre heats up quickly and punctures more easily on rocky roads.

Where to pump up

Many petrol stations have an air machine, and roadside tyre repair stalls are everywhere in Bali. If a tyre keeps going flat, there's probably a slow leak; contact the rental before patching it yourself. The guide is in flat tyres, breakdowns & accidents.

Check tyre pressure when the tyres are cold, before a long ride. After a long trip the reading can be higher.

Also check the tyres at handover: see checking a rental scooter at handover. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

What tyre pressure does a BeAT or Scoopy use?

Typically about 29 psi front and 33 psi rear; confirm with the sticker or manual.

Where can I pump up a tyre in Bali?

At petrol stations with an air machine, motorbike workshops and roadside tyre repair stalls.

How much does it cost to pump up a tyre?

Usually a few thousand rupiah; some petrol stations do it for free.

Can I patch a rental scooter's tyre myself?

Contact the rental first. Many have a partner workshop or rules about tyre replacement.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Many tourist scooter accidents in Bali happen not because of high speed, but because tyres slide on sand, gravel or wet tarmac. These simple techniques help you stay in control on surfaces like that.

Quick answer

• Sand and gravel on the tarmac are most common on Bukit beach roads, Canggu and village roads; slow down before bends.
• On slippery surfaces, don't brake suddenly and avoid leaning the bike too far.
• Use the front and rear brakes together, gently; stay upright and look far ahead.
• Tarmac is most slippery in the first minutes of rain, when dust and oil mix with water.

Where slippery surfaces often appear

Basic technique

• Slow down before you reach a slippery patch, not once you're on it.
• Stay upright, loosen your grip on the bars and let the bike move a little.
• Brake gently with both brakes; don't lock the wheels.
• Avoid sudden throttle on sandy bends.

In the rain

Tarmac is most slippery in the first minutes of rain. If you can, shelter briefly until the rain is steady and has washed the surface. Avoid riding over white road markings, steel plates and slippery drain covers. The full guide is in riding in the rainy season.

If the rear tyre starts to slide, don't panic and don't brake hard. Keep the throttle steady and look where you want to go.

More tips in riding safely in Bali and hills & descents. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

How should I brake on sand?

Slow down before you reach the sand and use both brakes gently, without locking the wheels.

When are roads most slippery in rain?

In the first minutes of rain, when dust and oil on the tarmac mix with water.

Are automatic scooters fine on gravel?

On light gravel, yes. For rough terrain, a trail bike like the KLX is more suitable.

What should I do if I start to slide?

Keep the throttle steady, don't brake hard, and look towards the line you want to take.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Fuel is the biggest extra cost after the rental itself. The good news: automatic scooters in Bali are very economical. Here are estimated consumption figures, sample costs for popular routes, and simple habits that make a tank last longer.

Quick answer

• Automatic scooters of 110–160 cc typically do around 35–55 km per litre, depending on the model, load and riding style.
• Small scooter tanks hold about 4–7 litres, enough for roughly 150–300 km.
• Smooth throttle, steady speed and correct tyre pressure are the most effective ways to save fuel.
• Fill up at official petrol stations; Pertalite and Pertamax prices can change, so check the price board at the station.

Estimated consumption by scooter type

These are estimates for real-world use. Riding two-up, hills and traffic jams all increase consumption.

How to ride economically

• Open the throttle gently when pulling away; avoid sudden bursts.
• Keep a steady speed on wide roads and avoid repeated brake-and-throttle.
• Keep the tyre pressure right; flat tyres make the engine work harder.
• Switch the engine off during long waits, such as ceremony queues or ferry lines.

Pertalite or Pertamax?

Follow the rental's or the manual's recommendation. Many modern scooters are recommended to use higher-octane fuel. Fill up at official stations so the fuel quality is reliable; roadside bottled petrol is for emergencies only. The guide is in fuel, petrol stations & scooter parking in Bali.

Fill up when the gauge nears a quarter, especially before heading up to Kintamani or Bedugul, or out to west and east Bali.

A full holiday cost breakdown is in the cost of a Bali scooter holiday. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

How much fuel do I need for a full day around Bali?

For 100 km on an automatic scooter, 2–3 litres is usually enough.

Which rental scooter is most economical?

110–125 cc scooters like the BeAT, Scoopy and Vario 125.

Can I buy roadside bottled petrol?

For emergencies, yes, but official petrol stations have more reliable quality.

Who pays for fuel?

The renter. Return the bike with the agreed amount of fuel.

Bali looks small on the map, but travel times often surprise people. A 30 km trip can take more than an hour. The table below helps you plan scooter trips between areas realistically.

Quick answer

• In south Bali, the average scooter speed is only about 20–30 km/h because of traffic and lights.
• Examples: Kuta–Ubud ± 35 km (1–1.5 hours), Canggu–Uluwatu ± 30 km (1–1.5 hours), Kuta–Amed ± 100 km (3–3.5 hours).
• Add 20–40% at rush hour, in the holiday season or during ceremonies.
• Use Google Maps for live times, but still leave some spare time.

Distance and time table (estimates)

All figures are estimates for normal conditions. Real times depend on when you leave, the weather and the route you choose.

What makes trips take longer

• Morning (07:00–09:00) and evening (16:00–19:00) rush hours.
• Holiday seasons, long weekends and religious holidays.
• Ceremonies that close roads temporarily.
• Heavy rain and flooding on small roads.

How to plan

Stay near the places you'll visit most, group destinations by region, and leave earlier. The main traffic hotspots are covered in Bali rush-hour traffic hotspots. Detailed routes: Kuta to Ubud, Canggu to Uluwatu and Sanur to Amed.

For trips over 2 hours, plan a break every 1–1.5 hours. Fatigue is a common cause of accidents.

Bikes for long trips: the NMAX or PCX. Every option at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to ride from Kuta to Ubud?

About 1–1.5 hours for roughly 35 km.

Why do short distances take so long in Bali?

Traffic, lights and narrow roads keep the average speed in south Bali at only 20–30 km/h.

Is Google Maps accurate for scooters?

It's fairly accurate for live times, but still leave some spare time.

How long from the airport to Canggu?

About 45–75 minutes by scooter.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Many travellers ride to the airport to pick up friends, or to Sanur and Padang Bai to cross to Nusa Penida or Lombok. Then the question comes up: where do I park, and is it safe to leave the bike? Here's the guide.

Quick answer

• Ngurah Rai Airport has an official scooter car park with hourly rates; have a card or cash ready for the gate's payment system.
• Sanur and Padang Bai harbours have scooter parking for ferry passengers; rates and systems differ by operator.
• If you'll leave a rental scooter for days, it's safer to return the bike or leave it with the rental.
• Lock the steering, take your helmet and valuables, and photograph where you parked.

Parking locations at a glance

Rates and payment systems can change. Follow the signs on site and keep your parking ticket or receipt.

Security tips

• Lock the steering and, if you have one, use an extra lock such as a disc lock.
• Don't leave a helmet, raincoat or items on the seat or hook.
• Photograph your parking spot and row number so you can find it easily.
• Keep the STNK somewhere safe, not in the storage of a bike left for a long time.

Leaving the scooter for several days?

If you're staying on Nusa Penida or Lombok, parking for days is risky and the fees add up. It's simpler to return the bike before crossing or rent one on the island you're going to. See scooter rental near the harbour, scooter rental on Nusa Penida and returning a rental scooter.

When picking someone up at the airport, agree on a meeting point outside the arrivals area so you don't need to park for long.

Airport info: Ngurah Rai Airport scooter rental. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Is there scooter parking at Ngurah Rai Airport?

Yes, an official scooter car park with an hourly rate.

Is it safe to park a scooter at Sanur harbour?

It's fairly safe in the official area, but don't leave items behind and lock the steering.

Can I leave a rental scooter at the harbour for days?

Ask the rental first. It's usually safer to return the bike or leave it with the rental.

How much is scooter parking?

It differs by location and can change; check the rate board at the parking gate.

One common sight in Bali is a tourist balancing a suitcase on a scooter from the airport. It looks practical, but it's dangerous. Here are the risks, the safe limits for carrying things, and smarter ways to handle your luggage.

Quick answer

• Carrying a large suitcase on a scooter is risky: it upsets the balance, gets in the way of your feet and can break load rules.
• Backpacks and small bags on the floor or in the under-seat storage are fine; a small cabin bag is only for short distances on flat roads.
• The practical fix: take a taxi with your luggage, then have the scooter delivered to your hotel or villa.
• When moving accommodation, send the luggage by taxi and ride the scooter separately.

What's safe to carry on a scooter

Risks of carrying a big suitcase

• The bike's balance is upset, especially when stopping and cornering.
• The suitcase can hit your legs or the wheel and cause a fall.
• Your view of the mirrors and indicators is blocked.
• Luggage falling onto the road can endanger other riders.

Practical fixes

Book the scooter with delivery to your hotel or villa, then take a taxi from the airport with your luggage. When you change areas, send the luggage by taxi and ride the bike separately. For groups or families, a car rental may make more sense; see scooter delivery to hotels & villas and car rental in Bali.

Choose a scooter with big storage like the NMAX or PCX if you often carry shopping or a laptop.

What to bring is covered in gear for riding in Bali. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can I carry a suitcase on a scooter from the airport?

It's not recommended. Big suitcases are dangerous; take a taxi and have the scooter delivered to your hotel.

What's safe to carry on a scooter?

A backpack, a small bag on the floor or under the seat, and light shopping tied down.

Which scooters have big storage?

The NMAX and PCX have bigger under-seat storage than 110 cc scooters.

How do I change hotels with a rental scooter?

Send your luggage by taxi, then ride the scooter separately to the new hotel.

Christmas and New Year bring a surge of visitors to Bali. Flights, hotels and rental vehicles are all in demand. Here's how to make sure you still get a scooter, and tips for riding safely in the busiest season.

Quick answer

• Late December to early January is Bali's busiest season; popular bikes like the Scoopy, Vario and NMAX sell out fast.
• Book 2–4 weeks ahead and reconfirm a few days before you arrive.
• On New Year's Eve, Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu and Jimbaran are packed; some roads may be closed or diverted.
• December is also the rainy season: carry a raincoat and don't ride when tired or after drinking alcohol.

Why book early

• Rental demand spikes, especially for weekly rentals.
• Popular models and big bikes sell out quickly.
• Delivery schedules get busy, so delivery times may need adjusting.

Example catalogue prices

SiapPergi fleet catalogue prices. Availability and delivery times in the holiday season are confirmed by the admin when you book.

New Year's Eve

Beach and nightlife areas are packed from the afternoon. Parking is hard and some roads are diverted. If you plan to celebrate in Kuta, Seminyak or Jimbaran, consider walking from your accommodation or using a taxi, especially if you'll be drinking. See Bali rush-hour traffic hotspots and going to concerts & events by scooter.

Never ride after drinking alcohol. Besides being dangerous, your travel insurance and rental agreement may not apply.

Other holiday seasons are covered in scooter rental in Bali at Nyepi & holiday seasons. Book at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book a scooter for New Year?

Ideally 2–4 weeks ahead, then reconfirm a few days before you arrive.

Are roads closed on New Year's Eve?

Some roads in busy areas may be closed or diverted. Follow the officers' directions.

Is December the rainy season?

Yes, December is part of Bali's rainy season. Carry a raincoat.

In Bali you may see scooters carrying three or four people. That doesn't make it legal. Indonesian traffic law clearly limits the number of passengers and requires helmets. Here are the rules and tips for riding two-up safely on a rental scooter.

Quick answer

• Law No. 22 of 2009 on Traffic prohibits a motorcycle without a sidecar from carrying more than 1 passenger.
• Rider and passenger must both wear a helmet that meets the standard (SNI).
• Breaking the rules can mean a fine or detention under the law, and may void your insurance.
• Rentals usually provide 2 helmets; ask for a child's helmet if you're bringing a child.

Rules at a glance

This summary is general. Traffic police enforce the rules on the road, including through checkpoints and electronic ticketing.

Tips for riding two-up safely

• The passenger sits upright, holding the rider's waist or the rear grab rail.
• The passenger leans with the bike in bends, never against it.
• The passenger's feet stay on the footrests and away from the exhaust.
• Choose a bike with enough power when riding two-up on hills.

Carrying children

A child still counts as a passenger and must wear a helmet that fits. For families with more than one child, a car rental is much safer. The full guide is in riding with children in Bali and group scooter rental.

Passengers often burn their leg on the hot exhaust when getting off. Always get off on the left side, away from the exhaust.

Other rules: traffic rules & police checks in Bali and rental scooter helmets. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Can three people ride one scooter in Bali?

No. Law No. 22 of 2009 limits a motorcycle without a sidecar to one passenger.

Does the passenger have to wear a helmet?

Yes, rider and passenger must both wear an SNI-standard helmet.

Does a small child count as a passenger?

Yes. A child counts as a passenger and must wear a helmet that fits.

Does the rental provide two helmets?

In the SiapPergi catalogue, 2 helmets are included in the rental price.

A bike that's too tall makes you nervous at every red light. One that's too small leaves your knees aching and makes riding two-up uncomfortable. Choosing a bike that fits your body is one of the simplest ways to make riding in Bali safer.

Quick answer

• A simple rule: when seated, at least the balls of both feet or one flat foot should reach the ground firmly.
• Shorter riders are more comfortable on low-seat 110–125 cc scooters like the BeAT, Scoopy or Fazzio.
• Tall or larger riders are more comfortable on the NMAX, PCX or XMAX, which have roomy legroom.
• Sit on and push the bike at handover; ask to swap if it doesn't feel right.

Quick guide to choosing a scooter

How to try the bike at handover

1. Sit upright and make sure your feet reach the ground firmly.
2. Push the bike back and forth a few steps to feel its weight.
3. Turn the bars fully left and right; make sure your knees don't hit anything.
4. If riding two-up, have your passenger sit on it to feel the balance.

Weight and riding two-up

If the combined weight of rider and passenger is high, choose a 155–160 cc bike so hills don't feel heavy and the brakes stay sharp. Model comparisons are in BeAT vs Scoopy, NMAX vs PCX and the best scooter for touring Bali.

Don't hesitate to ask for a different bike at handover if it feels too tall or heavy. Better at the start than on the road.

Beginners should read scooter rental in Bali for beginners. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Frequently asked questions

Which automatic scooter suits shorter riders?

The BeAT, Scoopy and Fazzio, because their seats are low and they're light.

Which scooter is comfortable for tall riders?

The NMAX, PCX and XMAX, thanks to their roomy legroom.

How do I know a bike is too tall?

If neither foot can touch the ground when you're seated, the bike is too tall for you.

Can I swap bikes at handover?

Ask the courier or admin. It's better to swap at the start if the bike doesn't fit.

A Bali holiday doesn't have to be expensive. Many of its most beautiful places are open to the public with no entry ticket. With a rental scooter you can move from beach to rice fields and hills for very little. Here's a list of free places that are easy to reach.

Quick answer

• Many beaches, rice-field walks and hills in Bali charge no entry fee; usually there's only a small parking fee.
• Examples: Kuta Beach, Sanur, Batu Bolong, the Campuhan Ridge Walk, rice fields around Ubud and Lumintang City Park.
• Some places ask for a donation or village fee; rules can change, so carry small cash.
• With a scooter, your main costs are just the rental and fuel, making the holiday much cheaper.

Free or almost-free places

Fee policies can change at any time. Carry small notes for parking and village donations.

Tips for a cheaper scooter holiday

• Rent weekly or monthly for a lower price per day.
• Group destinations by region to save fuel and time.
• Eat at local warungs that are busy with residents.
• Bring a refillable water bottle and fill it at your accommodation.

Renting a car in Bali sounds simple until you land, open three rental websites and get three completely different prices, deposit rules and pick-up stories. This guide cuts through it. We run SiapPergi, a Bali travel platform that delivers rental cars and scooters across the island, so we see the same questions every day — what it really costs, whether you need an IDP, how bad the traffic is, and why paying a stranger a deposit before you’ve even seen the car is a bad idea. Here’s the honest version.

Quick answer

• Price: self-drive cars in our catalogue start at IDR 310,000 per day (Honda Brio / Toyota Calya). 7-seaters like the Avanza and Xpander cost a bit more; a car with a driver is usually quoted per 10–12-hour day.
• Paperwork: your home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP), and your passport. Bali drives on the left.
• How booking works with SiapPergi: pick a car, send the form, our admin confirms on WhatsApp — no deposit up front, you pay in full when the car is handed over (bank transfer or e-wallet).
• Best for: families, groups, rainy-season trips and long days out to Ubud, Kintamani or Lempuyang. Solo or couple in Canggu? A scooter is usually easier.

Should you rent a car in Bali at all?

Short answer: it depends on who you’re travelling with and where you’re staying. A car is brilliant for a family of four with luggage, a group of friends splitting costs, or anyone doing long day trips inland. It’s less brilliant if you’re a couple bouncing between beach clubs in Canggu, where lanes are narrow and parking is a sport.

Not sure yet? Our comparison of self-drive vs a car with driver goes deeper on cost and comfort.

How much does car rental in Bali cost per day?

Prices depend on the car, the season and how long you rent. These are the self-drive rates in the SiapPergi catalogue right now — fixed prices, with delivery to your hotel, villa or the airport:

Across the wider Bali market you’ll typically see small city cars at roughly IDR 200–350k a day, 7-seat MPVs at IDR 250–450k, a Toyota Innova at IDR 450–650k and big SUVs like the Fortuner from about IDR 900k. A car with a driver is usually quoted per day of 10–12 hours including fuel within South Bali. For a model-by-model breakdown, see our Bali car rental price list.

Rent for longer, pay less per day. Most Bali rentals — including ours — get noticeably cheaper on monthly hires. If you’re staying three weeks, ask for the monthly rate before you book daily.

Which car should you choose?

• Honda Brio / Toyota Agya / Calya — small, cheap, easy to park. Fine for two adults and a couple of bags. Struggles a bit on the steep climb to Kintamani with four people.
• Toyota Avanza / Daihatsu Xenia / Hyundai Stargazer — the classic Bali 7-seater. Realistically comfortable for five adults, or two adults and three kids with luggage.
• Mitsubishi Xpander — a nicer ride than the Avanza, smoother on long trips, still easy to drive.
• Toyota Innova — the go-to for airport transfers and tours with a driver. Roomy and comfortable after a long flight.
• Fortuner / Pajero Sport — big and impressive, but honestly overkill for Bali’s narrow roads unless you need the space.

Travelling with a big family? Our guide to 7-seater cars in Bali compares the Avanza, Xenia, Ertiga and Innova side by side.

What you need to rent a car in Bali

1. Your home driving licence for cars (category B or equivalent).
2. An International Driving Permit (IDP). Get it in your home country before you fly — it’s cheap and police at checkpoints do ask for it. Without one, your travel insurance may also refuse an accident claim.
3. Your passport (the rental will check it; you shouldn’t have to leave it with them).
4. A WhatsApp number so the admin and driver can reach you.
5. Sometimes a flight ticket or hotel booking, so the rental knows where the car is going.

The full checklist — including what Indonesian residents need — is in Bali car rental requirements.

No deposit, pay on delivery: how SiapPergi bookings work

Plenty of Bali rental websites ask you to transfer a deposit or the full amount before you arrive. If the car never turns up, good luck getting that money back from overseas. We do it the other way round:

1. Pick a car in the car rental catalogue and fill in the form: dates, delivery address (hotel, villa or airport) and your name.
2. Our admin confirms availability and the final price on WhatsApp.
3. The car is delivered to you. You check it over — bodywork, tyres, air-con, fuel level, the STNK registration paper in the glovebox.
4. Only then do you pay, in full, by bank transfer or e-wallet. No deposit up front.
5. At the end of the rental we pick the car up from wherever you are.

More on why this matters, and how it works for scooters too, in pay on delivery rentals in Bali.

Driving in Bali: what nobody warns you about

• Traffic drives on the left. If you’re from the US or Europe, the first roundabout will feel strange. Take it slow on day one.
• Scooters are everywhere and overtake on both sides. Check your mirrors constantly and indicate early.
• Roads are narrow. In Canggu, Ubud and the Bukit, two cars often can’t pass without someone pulling over. Be patient.
• Ceremonies close roads. A temple procession can block a road for 20–30 minutes. Follow the *pecalang* (village security) and wait — it’s part of Bali.
• Rush hour is real. Avoid the Kuta–Airport–Simpang Siur area roughly 7–9 am and 4–7 pm.
• Google Maps loves shortcuts through tiny village lanes that aren’t built for cars. Stick to main roads where you can.

Our full guide to driving in Bali covers lanes, horns, ceremonies and police checks.

Running costs: fuel, parking and tolls

Fuel is cheap by Western standards — roughly IDR 10–14k a litre depending on the grade — and a small car does 13–18 km per litre. Parking is usually IDR 5–10k for a car at beaches, temples and malls (some beach clubs charge more). The Bali Mandara toll road between Nusa Dua, Benoa and the airport costs a few dollars and saves a lot of time. A full breakdown is in driving costs in Bali.

Self-drive or car with driver?

If you’re confident driving on the left and you want freedom, self-drive is cheaper. If you want to actually look at the rice terraces instead of the bumper in front of you, a driver is worth every rupiah — they know where to park, which order to visit places in, and how to dodge traffic. See Bali car with driver: price per day for what’s included.

Frequently asked questions

How much is car rental in Bali per day?

In the SiapPergi catalogue, self-drive cars start at IDR 310,000 per day for a Honda Brio or Toyota Calya; 7-seaters like the Avanza and Xpander cost a little more. Across the market, small cars are roughly IDR 200–350k and 7-seaters IDR 250–450k per day.

Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in Bali?

Yes. You need your home driving licence plus an IDP. Police do check at roadside checkpoints, and travel insurance may not cover an accident if you drove without one.

Can I rent a car in Bali without paying a deposit?

With SiapPergi, yes. There’s no deposit up front: the admin confirms on WhatsApp, the car is delivered, and you pay in full when it’s handed over, by bank transfer or e-wallet.

Is it safe to drive in Bali?

It’s manageable if you’re a confident driver and take it slowly at first. Traffic drives on the left, roads are narrow and scooters overtake on both sides. If that sounds stressful, book a car with a driver.

Can the rental car be delivered to the airport?

Yes. Cars can be delivered to Ngurah Rai Airport, your hotel or your villa anywhere in Bali, and picked up there at the end of the rental.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

“How much is a rental car in Bali?” is the question we get asked most, and the honest answer is: it depends which car, which month and how long. So instead of a vague range, here’s every common rental car in Bali, what it costs, who it suits, and what to watch out for. The catalogue prices come straight from our live car rental catalogue; the market ranges are what you’ll typically see elsewhere on the island.

Quick answer

• Catalogue prices (self-drive, delivered): Honda Brio IDR 310,000, Toyota Calya IDR 310,000, Toyota Avanza IDR 360,000, Hyundai Stargazer IDR 360,000, Mitsubishi Xpander IDR 410,000 per day.
• Market ranges: small cars ≈ IDR 200–350k/day, 7-seat MPVs ≈ IDR 250–450k, Innova ≈ IDR 450–650k, Fortuner/Pajero ≈ IDR 900k–1.3m.
• Monthly rentals work out far cheaper per day — often 40–50% less than paying daily.
• Budget on top: fuel (≈ IDR 10–14k per litre), parking (IDR 5–10k a stop) and toll roads. No deposit up front when you book through SiapPergi.

SiapPergi catalogue prices (self-drive)

These are fixed prices, not ‘from’ teasers. They include delivery to your hotel, villa or Ngurah Rai Airport. Minimum rental for self-drive is two days, and one day means 24 hours.

Prices can change with the season, so the catalogue always has the current figures. There’s no deposit up front — you pay in full when the car is handed over.

Typical Bali market prices by model

These ranges are estimates from the Bali market in 2026. High season (July–August, Christmas–New Year, Chinese New Year) pushes them up; the quiet months of February–March and November usually bring them down.

Daily vs weekly vs monthly: where the savings are

Bali rentals reward you for staying longer. A Honda Brio at the daily rate for 30 days would cost far more than the monthly price in the catalogue. If you’re here for two weeks or more, always ask for the weekly or monthly rate before you book. Long-stay tips are in monthly car rental in Bali.

Comparing quotes? Ask each rental the same four questions: Is delivery included? Is there a deposit? What’s the fuel policy? What happens if the car breaks down? The cheapest headline price isn’t always the cheapest rental.

The extras nobody puts in the headline price

• Fuel. You usually get the car with some fuel and return it at a similar level. Pertalite and Pertamax cost roughly IDR 10–14k a litre.
• Parking. IDR 5–10k per stop at most beaches, temples and malls; more at some beach clubs and hotels.
• Tolls. The Bali Mandara toll road (airport–Benoa–Nusa Dua) is cheap and worth it at rush hour.
• Driver overtime. With-driver packages normally cover 10–12 hours; extra hours are charged, often around 10% of the day rate per hour.
• Far destinations. Drivers may charge extra for Amed, Lovina, Munduk or West Bali.
• Child seats. Not every car has one — ask when you book.

Our driving costs in Bali article puts real numbers on a typical day out.

Is a car cheaper than taxis or Grab?

For one or two people doing short hops, Grab or Gojek is usually cheaper. For a family or group doing a full day out, a rental car almost always wins — especially once you split it four or five ways. A scooter beats both on cost if you’re comfortable riding; see Bali vehicle rental prices for scooters, cars, drivers and bicycles in one table.

How to book at these prices

1. Choose your car in the catalogue and enter your dates and delivery address.
2. Our admin confirms on WhatsApp — usually within minutes during the day.
3. The car arrives; you inspect it and pay in full by bank transfer or e-wallet. No deposit up front.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest car to rent in Bali?

A Honda Brio or Toyota Calya — IDR 310,000 per day in the SiapPergi catalogue, and roughly IDR 200–300k a day elsewhere in the market.

How much is an Avanza rental in Bali?

IDR 360,000 per day self-drive in our catalogue. Market prices are roughly IDR 250–350k self-drive or IDR 550–700k with a driver for 10–12 hours.

Is it cheaper to rent a car in Bali monthly?

Yes, much cheaper per day. Monthly rates are often 40–50% lower than paying the daily price for 30 days.

Are fuel and parking included in Bali car rental prices?

Usually not for self-drive. Budget roughly IDR 10–14k per litre of fuel and IDR 5–10k per parking stop. With-driver packages normally include fuel within South Bali.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

You’ve found a rental car or scooter online, the price looks good, and then comes the line: “Please transfer 50% deposit to confirm.” To a stranger, in another country, for a vehicle you’ve only seen in a photo. It’s how a lot of Bali rentals still work — and it’s exactly how tourists lose money. Pay on delivery flips the risk: the vehicle comes to you first, you check it, and only then do you pay. Here’s how it works, what to look for, and how to book it.

Quick answer

• Pay on delivery means you book first and pay only when the car or scooter is in front of you and you’ve checked it.
• With SiapPergi: no deposit up front; pay in full at handover by bank transfer or e-wallet. Delivery and pick-up anywhere in Bali, including the airport.
• Before paying, check: bodywork photos/video, tyres, brakes, lights, fuel, the STNK registration paper and (for scooters) two helmets.
• Why it matters: you can’t lose money to a rental that never shows up — the most common booking scam aimed at tourists.

What “pay on delivery” actually means in Bali

In Bali, pay on delivery (sometimes called COD or pay on arrival) means the rental brings the vehicle to your hotel, villa or the airport, hands over the keys, and you pay right there. At SiapPergi it works like this:

• No deposit up front — nothing to transfer before the car or scooter arrives.
• Full payment at handover, by bank transfer or e-wallet (QRIS works with most Indonesian and many international e-wallet and banking apps).
• Delivery and pick-up anywhere in Bali — from Kuta, Canggu and Uluwatu to Ubud, Amed, Lovina and Ngurah Rai Airport.
• Price agreed in writing on WhatsApp before delivery, so there are no surprises at the door.

Need to pay cash? Ask the admin on WhatsApp when you book. Having an Indonesian e-wallet or a banking app that scans QRIS makes handover quickest.

Why paying on delivery is safer

The classic Bali rental scam isn’t complicated: a fake or flaky rental takes a deposit by bank transfer, then stops replying. Or the vehicle that turns up is older, dirtier or a different model than the one you paid for, and you feel you have to accept it because your money is already gone.

When you pay on delivery, both problems disappear. If no vehicle comes, you’ve lost nothing. If the vehicle isn’t what you booked, you simply don’t accept it. We’ve written more about these traps in upfront payment scams in Bali and the wider guide to trustworthy scooter rentals.

Step by step: booking a pay-on-delivery rental

1. Choose your vehicle. Cars are in the car rental catalogue, scooters in the scooter catalogue. Prices are fixed and shown upfront.
2. Send the form with your dates, delivery address and name. Your SiapPergi account is created automatically.
3. Our admin confirms on WhatsApp — availability, final price, delivery time.
4. The vehicle arrives. Take your time checking it (see the checklist below).
5. Pay in full, then ride or drive off. At the end, we collect it from wherever you are.

Your 5-minute handover checklist

Doing this before you pay gives you a clear record if there’s any question about damage at the end. Our longer scooter handover checklist covers the fine print.

Pay on delivery for scooters

It works exactly the same for scooters. In our catalogue they start at IDR 70,000 a day for an older Honda BeAT, IDR 90,000 for a current Scoopy and IDR 150,000 for an NMAX or PCX — two helmets included, minimum two days. See motorbike rental in Bali, pay on arrival for the scooter-specific details.

What about a security deposit?

Many Bali rentals hold a security deposit, or even your passport, until the vehicle comes back. Our catalogue doesn’t ask for a deposit up front — you pay the rental in full at handover and that’s it. If a particular vehicle ever needed a deposit, the admin would tell you clearly on WhatsApp before you confirm. Never hand over your passport as a guarantee; it’s your most important document abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car in Bali and pay on delivery?

Yes. With SiapPergi you book online, the admin confirms on WhatsApp, and you pay in full when the car is delivered and you’ve checked it. There’s no deposit up front.

How do I pay at delivery?

By bank transfer or e-wallet, usually by scanning a QRIS code. If you need to pay cash, mention it to the admin on WhatsApp when you book.

Can the car be delivered to Bali airport?

Yes. Cars and scooters can be delivered to Ngurah Rai Airport, your hotel or your villa anywhere in Bali.

What if the vehicle that arrives isn’t what I booked?

Don’t accept it and don’t pay. Message the admin on WhatsApp so they can sort out the right vehicle. Because you pay on delivery, you never have money tied up in a vehicle you didn’t want.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Bali on a scooter is one of the great travel experiences: warm air, rice fields, a cheap coconut at every corner. Booking one shouldn’t involve wiring money to a stranger. With pay on arrival, the bike comes to your door, you look it over, and you pay once you’re happy. Here’s what it costs, what you need, and how it works with SiapPergi.

Quick answer

• From IDR 70,000 a day in the SiapPergi catalogue (older Honda BeAT); Scoopy IDR 90,000, Vario 125 IDR 100,000, NMAX/PCX IDR 150,000. Minimum two days.
• Pay on arrival: no deposit up front — pay in full when the bike is handed over, by bank transfer or e-wallet.
• Included: two helmets and delivery/pick-up anywhere in Bali — hotel, villa, home or the airport.
• You need a motorcycle licence from home plus an IDP with the motorcycle (A) category, and your passport.

What it costs

Our scooter catalogue shows fixed prices — no haggling, no “from” prices that double at the door. A selection:

Prices include two helmets and delivery anywhere in Bali. Weekly and monthly rates work out much cheaper per day — handy if you’re staying a while. Compare models in BeAT vs Scoopy and NMAX vs PCX.

How pay on arrival works

1. Pick a scooter in the catalogue and send the form with your dates and address.
2. Our admin confirms on WhatsApp — availability, price, delivery time.
3. The scooter is delivered to your hotel, villa or the airport.
4. Check it: brakes, tyres, lights, horn, fuel, the STNK registration paper under the seat, and that both helmets fit.
5. Pay in full by bank transfer or e-wallet. No deposit up front.
6. When you’re done, we pick it up wherever you are.

Film a slow walk-around video of the scooter before you pay, including existing scratches and the fuel gauge. It takes one minute and settles any question at the end.

Licence rules: the bit people skip

To ride legally in Bali you need a motorcycle licence from your home country plus an International Driving Permit with the motorcycle category (A). A car-only IDP doesn’t count. Police run checkpoints on tourist routes, and travel insurers often refuse claims if you crashed without the right licence. Our guide to Bali scooter rental for foreign tourists explains the rules in detail, and riding without a licence covers the risks and alternatives.

Which scooter should you pick?

• Honda BeAT / Scoopy (110cc) — light, cheap, easy. Perfect for Canggu, Seminyak, Sanur and flat South Bali.
• Honda Vario 125 / 160 — more power for two people and hills like Uluwatu.
• Yamaha NMAX / Honda PCX (155–160cc) — comfortable for long rides to Ubud, Kintamani and Bedugul, and best when riding two-up.
• Vespa Primavera — for the photos (and the style).

Still deciding? Best scooter for exploring Bali matches bikes to routes.

Delivery areas

We deliver and collect across Bali: Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Denpasar, Ubud, and further out to Amed, Lovina and Negara. Airport delivery means you can step out of arrivals and ride straight to your villa — see scooter rental at Bali airport.

Safety in one paragraph

Wear the helmet and do it up. Ride on the left. Expect dogs, potholes, sand on corners and cars pulling out without looking. Don’t ride after drinking. Avoid the first heavy rain after a dry spell — the road is slick. And start slow: day one is for getting used to the traffic, not for the Kintamani climb. Our 15 scooter safety tips are worth five minutes before your first ride.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a scooter in Bali and pay when it arrives?

Yes. With SiapPergi there’s no deposit up front: the scooter is delivered, you check it, and you pay in full at handover by bank transfer or e-wallet.

How much is a scooter rental in Bali per day?

In our catalogue from IDR 70,000 a day for an older Honda BeAT, IDR 90,000 for a Scoopy and IDR 150,000 for an NMAX or PCX. Monthly rates are much cheaper per day.

Are helmets included?

Yes, two helmets come with every scooter in the catalogue.

What licence do I need to ride a scooter in Bali?

A motorcycle licence from home plus an International Driving Permit that includes the motorcycle (A) category. Carry your passport too.

Is there a minimum rental period?

Yes, two days for scooters in the catalogue. One rental day is 24 hours.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

At home, renting a car means a credit card, a big hold on your account and a desk agent upselling insurance. In Bali it usually works differently — most local rentals don’t take cards at all. That’s good news if you travel with a debit card or prefer not to have hundreds of dollars frozen on your account. Here’s how no-deposit car hire works in Bali and what to watch for.

Quick answer

• Yes, it’s possible. Unlike airport counters at home, most Bali rentals don’t use credit cards at all — and SiapPergi takes no deposit up front.
• You pay in full at handover by bank transfer or e-wallet (QRIS). No card hold, no frozen funds on your holiday budget.
• Prices: self-drive from IDR 310,000 per day in our catalogue, delivered to your hotel, villa or the airport. Minimum two days.
• Still required: home driving licence + IDP and your passport. Never leave your passport as a guarantee.

Why Bali car hire often doesn’t need a credit card

International chains with airport desks are rare in Bali. Most rental cars come from local companies and owners who deliver to your hotel and take payment by bank transfer, e-wallet or cash. That means no card pre-authorisation — but it also means the rental needs some other way to feel safe lending you a car. Traditionally, that’s a cash deposit or, worse, your passport.

How no-deposit hire works with SiapPergi

1. Choose a car in the car rental catalogue and send your dates, delivery address and name.
2. Our admin checks availability and confirms the price and delivery time on WhatsApp.
3. The car is delivered. You check it and photograph it.
4. You pay the rental in full by bank transfer or e-wallet. No deposit up front, no card hold.
5. At the end, we pick the car up from your hotel, villa or the airport.

Because you pay only once the car is in front of you, there’s no risk of losing a deposit to a rental that doesn’t show up. More on that in pay on delivery rentals in Bali.

What it costs

Those are catalogue prices for self-drive with delivery. For a car with a driver (airport transfer or a full-day tour), the admin quotes a price based on your route and number of passengers. A wider market comparison is in our Bali car rental price list.

What the rental still checks

• Your driving licence and IDP. Non-negotiable — and a legal requirement for you, not just the rental.
• Your passport, to confirm who you are. They look at it; they don’t keep it.
• Where the car is going — your hotel or villa address, and sometimes a flight ticket or booking confirmation.
• A working WhatsApp number, so you can be reached during the rental.

The full list is in Bali car rental requirements.

If any rental asks to keep your passport “as a guarantee”, walk away. It’s your legal ID in Indonesia and you need it at hotels, banks and police checks.

Red flags with ‘no deposit’ offers

• “No deposit” — but full payment by transfer before delivery. That’s still paying upfront. You carry all the risk.
• A price far below the market (say, a 7-seater for IDR 150k a day). Usually bait, followed by surprise fees.
• No physical address, no reviews, a brand-new Instagram account.
• Pressure to pay “today only” to hold the car.

We’ve collected the most common tricks in upfront payment scams in Bali.

Insurance and damage

Ask what happens if the car is scratched or damaged during your rental before you confirm, and get the answer on WhatsApp. Our explainer on Bali car rental deposits and insurance covers own-risk amounts and how damage is usually handled. Check your travel insurance too — many policies cover rental car excess if you were driving legally with an IDP.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car in Bali without a credit card?

Yes. Most Bali rentals, including SiapPergi, don’t use credit cards. You pay by bank transfer or e-wallet when the car is delivered.

Is there really no deposit?

With SiapPergi there’s no deposit up front. You pay the rental in full at handover. If a specific vehicle ever needed a deposit, the admin would tell you clearly on WhatsApp before you confirm.

Can I rent a car in Bali with a debit card?

You don’t need a card at all — payment is by bank transfer or e-wallet, which you can usually do from a banking or e-wallet app that scans QRIS.

Do I still need an International Driving Permit?

Yes. No-deposit booking changes how you pay, not the law. Carry your home licence, IDP and passport.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

It’s a scene that plays out at rental shops all over Bali: you’ve chosen your scooter, and the owner holds out a hand — “passport, please, I keep it until you bring the bike back.” Plenty of tourists hand it over without thinking. Here’s why you shouldn’t, what the alternatives are, and how to rent a scooter without leaving your passport or a fat cash deposit behind.

Quick answer

• Don’t leave your passport. It’s your legal ID in Indonesia — you need it for hotels, money changers, police checks and your flight home.
• Typical market deposits for scooters run roughly IDR 500k–2m cash, or the rental keeps your passport. Disputes over scratches are common.
• With SiapPergi: no deposit up front, no passport kept — you pay in full when the scooter is delivered. From IDR 70,000 a day, two helmets included.
• Protect yourself either way: film the bike at handover, keep receipts, and get the rental terms in writing on WhatsApp.

Why rentals ask for your passport

From the rental’s side, it makes sense: they’re handing a stranger a vehicle worth thousands of dollars. Holding your passport is a cheap guarantee that you’ll come back and pay for any damage. The problem is that it shifts all the power to them. If they claim a scratch was yours, you can’t exactly leave the country without settling it.

Why you shouldn’t hand it over

• It’s your legal ID. Foreigners in Indonesia are expected to carry ID. Hotels, money changers, SIM-card shops and police checkpoints ask for it.
• You need it to fly. Including on domestic flights and fast boats to the Gilis or Lombok.
• It’s leverage in a damage dispute — one of the most common complaints from tourists in Bali.
• Losing it is a nightmare. Replacing a passport means a trip to your embassy or consulate in Denpasar or Jakarta, fees and days of waiting.

If a rental insists on keeping your passport, offer a photocopy or let them photograph it instead. If they still refuse, walk away — there are plenty of other options.

What about a cash deposit?

Cash deposits are less risky than a passport, but they still cause trouble: some rentals find “damage” at return time to keep part of it. Typical deposits are roughly IDR 500k–2m for a scooter, depending on the model. If you do pay one, get a written receipt, film the bike at pick-up, and agree in writing what counts as damage. Our scooter deposit, insurance and damage guide explains who usually pays for what.

Renting with no deposit and no passport: how it works at SiapPergi

1. Choose a scooter in the scooter catalogue. Prices are fixed and shown upfront.
2. Send the form with your dates and delivery address — your hotel, villa or the airport.
3. Our admin confirms on WhatsApp.
4. The scooter is delivered. You check it, film it, and confirm the two helmets fit.
5. You pay in full by bank transfer or e-wallet. No deposit up front and your passport stays with you — the admin may ask to see it to confirm your identity.

What you still need

• A motorcycle licence from home and an IDP with the motorcycle (A) category.
• Your passport (shown, not kept).
• A WhatsApp number and your accommodation address.

Full rules in Bali scooter rental requirements.

Protecting yourself at handover and return

• Film a slow walk-around video, including existing scratches, the fuel gauge and the odometer.
• Check the STNK (registration paper) is under the seat and matches the plate.
• Return the bike with roughly the same fuel and take a photo at drop-off.
• Keep all agreements on WhatsApp, not just verbal.

Our handover checklist has the full list.

Frequently asked questions

Should I leave my passport with a scooter rental in Bali?

No. It’s your legal ID and you need it for hotels, police checks and flights. Offer a photocopy instead, or choose a rental that doesn’t keep passports.

Can I rent a scooter in Bali without a deposit?

Yes. With SiapPergi there’s no deposit up front — the scooter is delivered and you pay in full at handover by bank transfer or e-wallet.

How much is a typical scooter deposit in Bali?

Roughly IDR 500k–2m in cash at rentals that ask for one, depending on the scooter. Always get a written receipt.

Do I still need to show my passport?

The rental may ask to see it to confirm your identity. Showing it is fine; leaving it behind is not necessary.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

For a lot of visitors, hiring a car with a driver is the single best decision of their Bali trip. You don’t navigate, you don’t park, you don’t deal with scooters overtaking on both sides — you just look out of the window and point at things. It’s also surprisingly affordable. Here’s what it costs per day, what’s included, and how to plan a day that doesn’t waste half of it in traffic.

Quick answer

• Typical market price: roughly IDR 550–700k per day for an Avanza/Xenia, IDR 650–800k for an Xpander and IDR 750–950k for an Innova, usually for 10–12 hours including fuel in South Bali.
• Often extra: overtime (often around 10% of the day rate per hour), far destinations (Amed, Lovina, Munduk, West Bali), entrance tickets, and sometimes parking.
• With SiapPergi: airport transfers and full-day tours are quoted by the admin on WhatsApp for your exact route — no deposit up front, pay when the service is delivered.
• Best value for families and groups, long day trips and anyone who doesn’t want to drive on the left.

How much is a car with driver in Bali per day?

These are estimated 2026 market ranges for South Bali (Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Ubud). The real price depends on your route, the season and how many people are travelling. For SiapPergi’s airport transfers and full-day tours, the admin sends a price for your exact plan on WhatsApp before you confirm.

What’s usually included — and what isn’t

Ask three questions before you confirm: How many hours are included? What’s the overtime rate? Are parking and tolls included? Get the answers on WhatsApp so there’s no debate at the end of the day.

Sample day trips (and the order that avoids traffic)

• Ubud classic: Tegallalang rice terraces early (before the crowds), Tirta Empul water temple, coffee plantation, Ubud Monkey Forest, Ubud market. Start at 7–8 am from South Bali.
• Kintamani volcano: Tegallalang → Kintamani for lunch with a view of Mount Batur → Tirta Empul on the way back. Bring a jacket; it’s cool up there.
• Bedugul & Munduk: Ulun Danu Beratan temple on the lake, Handara gate, twin lakes viewpoint, a waterfall near Munduk. Long day — consider an early start.
• East Bali: Lempuyang (Gates of Heaven) at dawn, Tirta Gangga water palace, Amed for snorkelling. Usually counts as a far destination.
• Uluwatu sunset: Padang Padang or Melasti beach in the afternoon, Uluwatu temple and the Kecak fire dance at sunset, seafood dinner in Jimbaran.

Planning to drive yourself instead? Our 5-day Bali road trip by car has a round-island route.

Car with driver vs self-drive

Self-drive is cheaper on paper — a 7-seater in our catalogue starts around IDR 310,000 a day — but you pay fuel and parking yourself, navigate Bali’s narrow roads and handle the stress of driving on the left. For long days inland, most families find a driver worth it. Our side-by-side comparison is in self-drive or car with driver?.

Airport transfers

Landing at Ngurah Rai after a long flight is the moment you least want to haggle with taxi touts. A pre-booked transfer means a driver waiting at arrivals with your name. Prices depend on your destination — Seminyak and Canggu are a lot closer than Ubud or Amed. Book it in the catalogue, or see our travel & shuttle options from Bali airport.

How to book

1. Choose “Fullday Tour Bali” or “Airport Transfer Bali” in the car catalogue.
2. Tell us your date, pick-up time, places you want to visit and number of passengers.
3. The admin sends a price on WhatsApp. Once you agree, it’s confirmed.
4. Pay when the service is delivered — no deposit up front.

How much does a private driver cost in Bali per day?

Roughly IDR 550–700k for an Avanza or Xenia, IDR 650–800k for an Xpander and IDR 750–950k for an Innova, usually for 10–12 hours including fuel in South Bali. Far destinations and overtime cost extra.

It’s not required but appreciated. Many visitors tip IDR 50–100k for a good full day.

Can I book a car with driver without paying upfront?

If you’re new to Indonesia, one thing surprises people quickly: almost everything runs on WhatsApp. Your villa host, your driver, the surf school, the warung down the road — and rental companies. There’s no app to download and no long checkout. Here’s exactly how to book a car or scooter rental in Bali over WhatsApp, what to write, and what to check before you pay.

Quick answer

• In Bali, WhatsApp is how business gets done — rentals, drivers, villas and restaurants all use it.
• With SiapPergi: pick a vehicle in the catalogue, send the form, and the admin confirms availability, price and delivery time on WhatsApp.
• Send these details: vehicle, dates, delivery address (hotel/villa/airport with flight number), your name and number of riders or passengers.
• Pay on delivery: no deposit up front; pay in full at handover by bank transfer or e-wallet.

Before you start: get WhatsApp working

• Keep your home number on WhatsApp — it works fine over hotel Wi-Fi or a local data SIM.
• Buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival for data (Telkomsel, XL, Indosat and others sell tourist packages at the airport).
• Save the rental’s number as a contact so you can see their profile and avoid impostors.

Step 1: choose your vehicle

Browse the scooter catalogue (from IDR 70,000 a day) or the car catalogue (self-drive from IDR 310,000 a day). Prices are fixed, so you know what you’ll pay before you message anyone.

Step 2: send the booking form

Fill in your dates, delivery address and name. Your SiapPergi account is created automatically so you can see your booking status. The details go straight to our admin.

Step 3: confirm on WhatsApp

Our admin messages you on WhatsApp to confirm availability, the final price and the delivery time. This is the moment to ask questions. A good message to send looks like this:

“Hi! I’d like a Honda Scoopy from 12 to 19 March, delivered to Villa Sari, Jalan Pantai Berawa, Canggu, around 2 pm. Two riders. Are helmets and a raincoat included? Can I pay by QRIS on delivery?”

What to ask before you confirm

1. Is delivery and pick-up included for my address?
2. What exactly is included — helmets, raincoat, phone holder, child seat?
3. Is there any deposit? (With SiapPergi: no deposit up front.)
4. What happens if the vehicle breaks down?
5. What time is pick-up at the end, and can it be from a different address (e.g. the airport)?

Step 4: delivery and handover

The vehicle arrives at your hotel, villa or the airport. Take five minutes to check it: film the bodywork, test the brakes and lights, note the fuel level and check the STNK registration paper is there. Our handover checklist has the full list.

Step 5: pay

Pay in full by bank transfer or e-wallet — usually by scanning a QRIS code with your banking or e-wallet app. No deposit up front. Why we do it this way is explained in pay on delivery rentals in Bali.

Staying safe on WhatsApp

• Only message numbers listed on the rental’s official website.
• Be wary of anyone who messages you first offering “cheaper” deals.
• Never send card numbers or one-time codes over chat.
• Don’t transfer money before you’ve seen the vehicle. See upfront payment scams in Bali.

Useful phrases

Our admin speaks English, but a little Indonesian goes a long way with drivers and shop owners: *terima kasih* (thank you), *berapa?* (how much?), *bensin* (fuel), *helm* (helmet), *sampai jumpa* (see you).

Frequently asked questions

How do I rent a scooter in Bali online?

Choose a scooter in the SiapPergi catalogue, send the form with your dates and address, and the admin confirms on WhatsApp. The scooter is delivered and you pay at handover.

Do I need a local phone number?

No. Your home WhatsApp number works over Wi-Fi or a local data SIM. A local SIM or eSIM is handy for maps and data.

How fast does the admin reply?

Usually within minutes during the day. Late-night requests are answered the next morning.

Can I change my booking dates on WhatsApp?

Yes. Message the admin as early as possible and they’ll check availability for the new dates.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Most rental businesses in Bali are honest family operations. But every year, some tourists lose money before they’ve even turned a key — usually by paying upfront to someone they found on social media. The good news: almost every rental scam relies on one of a handful of tricks, and they’re easy to spot once you know them. Here they are.

Quick answer

• The #1 trap: paying a deposit or the full rental by bank transfer before you’ve seen the vehicle — then the rental goes quiet.
• Other classics: bait prices far below market, a different (older) vehicle on delivery, and inflated damage claims at return.
• Best defence: pay on delivery, film the vehicle at handover, and keep every agreement in writing on WhatsApp.
• With SiapPergi: fixed catalogue prices, no deposit up front, pay in full only when the car or scooter is handed over.

Scam 1: the deposit that disappears

You find a great deal on Instagram or Facebook. The “rental” asks for a deposit or the full amount by bank transfer to “secure” the car or scooter. You pay. On delivery day, nobody comes, and the account stops replying. Because the money went to an Indonesian bank account from overseas, getting it back is almost impossible.

How to avoid it: don’t pay anything before you see the vehicle. Use a rental that lets you pay on delivery.

Scam 2: the bait price

A 7-seater for IDR 150k a day, or an NMAX for IDR 60k. When the vehicle arrives, suddenly there’s a delivery fee, a helmet fee, an insurance fee and a “high season” surcharge. Realistic 2026 market prices are roughly IDR 70–100k a day for a small scooter, IDR 130–200k for an NMAX or PCX, and IDR 250–450k for a 7-seat car. See our Bali car rental price list and scooter prices by model.

Scam 3: the swapped vehicle

You booked a new PCX; a tired 10-year-old scooter turns up. Or the car is a different model with bald tyres. If you’ve already paid, you’re under pressure to accept it.

How to avoid it: check the vehicle before you pay. If it isn’t what you booked, don’t accept it.

Scam 4: the damage claim

At return, the owner “finds” a scratch that was already there and asks for a big payment — sometimes while holding your passport or cash deposit. This is the most common complaint about Bali rentals.

• Film a slow walk-around video before you ride off, including existing marks.
• Photograph the fuel gauge and odometer.
• Never leave your passport as a guarantee — see scooter rental without leaving your passport.
• Agree in writing what happens if there’s damage.

Scam 5: the fake police fine

Real police checkpoints exist in Bali, and they do fine riders without a licence, IDP or helmet. But if someone who isn’t in uniform asks you to pay on the spot, be cautious. Carry your documents, and read Bali traffic rules and police checks so you know what’s legitimate.

Warning signs checklist

A trustworthy rental will happily answer questions in writing, show you real photos of the vehicle and let you check it before payment. If they won’t, keep looking.

How SiapPergi handles it

• Fixed prices shown in the scooter catalogue and car catalogue.
• Confirmation on WhatsApp from our admin, in writing.
• No deposit up front. You pay in full at handover by bank transfer or e-wallet.
• Delivery and pick-up anywhere in Bali, including the airport.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most common rental scam in Bali?

Being asked to pay a deposit or the full rental by bank transfer before delivery, and then the rental disappears. Paying on delivery avoids it.

How can I rent a scooter in Bali safely?

Use a rental with fixed prices and written confirmation, check and film the scooter before paying, never leave your passport, and pay on delivery.

Is it normal to pay a deposit for a scooter in Bali?

Many rentals ask for one, but it’s not necessary. SiapPergi takes no deposit up front; you pay in full when the scooter is delivered.

What should I do if the vehicle delivered isn’t what I booked?

Don’t accept or pay for it. Message the rental and ask for the correct vehicle.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Canggu and Seminyak are where a lot of visitors base themselves — and where the “should we rent a car?” debate is the most heated. The lanes are narrow, the traffic at sunset is legendary, and half your friends will tell you to just get a scooter. They’re not wrong, but a car still makes a lot of sense for families, groups, rainy days and trips out of the area. Here’s how to make it work.

Quick answer

• Small is beautiful: a Brio, Agya or Calya is far easier in Canggu and Seminyak lanes than a big SUV.
• Traffic peaks around sunset and on the Canggu Shortcut and Jalan Batu Bolong/Berawa. Plan around 4–7 pm.
• Parking: beach clubs and restaurants usually have attendants (IDR 5–10k); some villas have no car space — ask before booking.
• Delivery to your villa with no deposit up front and pay at handover. Self-drive from IDR 310,000 a day in our catalogue.

Car or scooter in Canggu?

For two people zipping between cafés, a scooter is quicker and parks anywhere. For a family with kids, a group heading to Uluwatu, or anyone visiting in rainy season, a car wins on comfort and safety. A common combo: rent a car for the first and last days (airport runs, big day trips) and scooters in between. Our scooter rental Canggu guide and Seminyak guide cover the two-wheel side.

Which car fits Canggu and Seminyak?

Traffic: the hotspots

• The Canggu Shortcut (Jalan Raya Babakan / the link between Berawa and Batu Bolong) — narrow and often jammed in the afternoon.
• Jalan Batu Bolong and Jalan Pantai Berawa — busy all day, especially near beach clubs at sunset.
• Jalan Petitenget & Jalan Kayu Aya (Seminyak) — slow evenings, lots of taxis stopping.
• Jalan Sunset Road and Simpang Siur — rush hour 7–9 am and 4–7 pm.

General timing tips are in Bali traffic hotspots and rush hours.

Heading to Uluwatu or the airport from Canggu? Leave before 3 pm or after 7 pm and take the Bali Mandara toll road where you can. It can save you an hour.

Parking

• Most beach clubs, restaurants and supermarkets have a *tukang parkir* (parking attendant). Expect IDR 5–10k for a car; some beach clubs charge more or have valet.
• Check your villa has a car space before you book a car — some Canggu villas are down lanes only scooters can reach.
• Never park blocking a temple entrance or a family compound gate.

Prices and delivery

Self-drive cars in the SiapPergi car catalogue start at IDR 310,000 a day and are delivered to your villa or hotel in Canggu, Berawa, Pererenan, Umalas or Seminyak — or straight to the airport. There’s no deposit up front: you check the car at handover and pay in full by bank transfer or e-wallet. Model-by-model prices are in our Bali car rental price list.

Day trips from Canggu by car

• Tanah Lot — 30–45 minutes; go late afternoon for sunset (and expect crowds).
• Ubud — 1–1.5 hours; leave early.
• Uluwatu — 1–1.5 hours via the bypass and toll road.
• Jatiluwih rice terraces & Bedugul — a full day, beautiful drive. See Tanah Lot & Jatiluwih day loop.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth renting a car in Canggu?

For families, groups and rainy-season trips, yes. For two people staying local, a scooter is usually faster and easier to park.

Where can I park a car in Canggu?

Most beach clubs, restaurants and shops have parking attendants charging around IDR 5–10k. Check your villa has a car space before booking.

Can a rental car be delivered to my villa in Canggu?

Yes. SiapPergi delivers to villas and hotels in Canggu, Berawa, Pererenan, Umalas and Seminyak, and you pay at handover with no deposit up front.

How long does it take to drive from Canggu to the airport?

Around 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on traffic. Avoid 4–7 pm.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Before you book, it makes sense to know the going rate for a scooter in Bali so you don't overpay. Here are the price ranges per model (estimated market prices), a worked example of the total cost, and what pushes prices up or down.

Quick answer

• 110 cc automatics (Honda BeAT, Scoopy) cost about Rp60,000–Rp100,000 per day; a Vario 125 about Rp70,000–Rp120,000; NMAX/PCX about Rp120,000–Rp200,000; XMAX 250 about Rp250,000–Rp400,000 (estimated 2026 market prices).
• Monthly rental of a small automatic is usually Rp700,000–Rp1,500,000 per month — far cheaper per day than daily rental.
• Prices rise in July–August and Christmas–New Year; outside those periods it's easier to negotiate for longer rentals.
• The final price, deposit and delivery fee are always confirmed before you pay — check estimates by area on the Bali scooter rental page.

Scooter rental prices by model

See current prices in the catalogue

The table above shows the estimated daily prices we display on SiapPergi. The final price, delivery fee and availability are confirmed on WhatsApp after you choose your area and dates on the Bali scooter rental page.

Market price ranges: daily, weekly & monthly

These are market ranges from our own observations, not fixed prices. A weekly price is usually equal to 5–6 days of daily rental; a monthly price to roughly 10–15 days. Ads saying "from Rp35,000" are usually for older bikes, very long rentals, or exclude delivery.

Worked example: the total cost

To avoid surprises, work out the total cost, not just the daily rate. Example for a 5-day holiday for two in Kuta on a Honda Scoopy (estimates):

That's about Rp450,000–Rp700,000 for five days — usually much cheaper than ride-hailing if you move around several times a day. The full comparison is in scooter vs ride-hailing vs car rental.

What affects the price

• Model & engine size: 155–160 cc maxi scooters (NMAX, PCX) cost more than 110 cc automatics (BeAT, Scoopy).
• Scooter age: the newest models are usually a little more expensive.
• Season: school holidays, Christmas–New Year and the European/Australian holiday season (July–August) push demand and prices up.
• Area: busy tourist areas like Canggu and Seminyak can be slightly pricier than Denpasar.
• Rental length: the longer you rent, the more likely the rental is to give you a better price.

Daily, weekly or monthly?

For long stays, read our monthly scooter rental tips for Bali.

Extra costs to factor in

• Delivery fee to your hotel/villa (some rentals deliver free to nearby areas).
• Deposit — not a cost; it's refunded when the scooter comes back in good condition.
• Fuel — scooters are usually handed over with fuel in the tank; return it at the same level.
• Parking at tourist sites, usually a few thousand rupiah.
• Damage or loss according to the rental's terms — read them before booking.

Compare the total price, not just the daily rate. A slightly pricier scooter with free villa delivery can work out cheaper than a cheap one with a delivery fee.

Do prices differ by area?

Only slightly, usually Rp5,000–Rp20,000 per day for the same model. Busy tourist areas like Canggu, Seminyak and Uluwatu tend to be a little pricier, especially for the NMAX and PCX. Kuta and Denpasar have many rentals, so prices are more competitive. The delivery fee often matters more: rent in the area where you're staying.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Bali per day?

Estimated 2026 market prices: Honda BeAT and Scoopy about Rp60,000–Rp100,000 per day, Vario 125 about Rp70,000–Rp120,000, and NMAX or PCX about Rp120,000–Rp200,000. The rental confirms the final price before you pay.

What's the cheapest scooter to rent in Bali?

The Honda BeAT is usually the cheapest because it's fuel-efficient and widely available. Check the price table above for current estimates.

Can you bargain on scooter rental prices in Bali?

There's little room for 1–3 day rentals. For weekly or monthly rentals, especially outside peak season, rentals often offer a special price.

How much is a monthly scooter rental in Bali?

A 110 cc automatic is usually Rp700,000–Rp1,500,000 per month, while an NMAX/PCX is about Rp1,800,000–Rp3,000,000 per month (market estimates).

Does the price include a helmet and fuel?

Helmets (usually two) and a raincoat are generally included. Fuel isn't: the scooter comes with fuel in the tank and should be returned at the same level.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

The requirements for renting a scooter in Bali are simple, yet people often ignore them until they're caught at a police check or run into trouble with a damage claim. Here are the documents and terms you need to prepare.

Quick answer

• Four main requirements: a valid SIM C, original KTP (Indonesians) or passport (foreigners), a deposit as set by the rental, and your accommodation address + an active WhatsApp number.
• Foreign tourists must carry their home licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) that lists the motorcycle category. A car-only licence is not valid for scooters.
• Minimum age 17 (the SIM C requirement). Riding without a licence can be fined up to Rp1,000,000, without a helmet up to Rp250,000 (Law 22/2009).
• Have your documents ready before booking a Bali scooter rental so handover is quick and damage claims aren't refused.

1. The right licence

Riding a motorcycle in Indonesia requires a valid SIM C (motorcycle licence). Indonesian travellers just bring their SIM C. Foreign tourists bring their home licence and an International Driving Permit (IDP) that includes the motorcycle category. Details for foreigners are in the scooter rental guide for foreign tourists.

A SIM A (car licence) is not valid for riding a scooter. Make sure the category is right.

2. Original ID

The rental will ask for a KTP (Indonesian ID card) or passport (foreigners) to record the renter's identity. Some rentals just photograph or photocopy the document. If a rental wants to keep your passport, ask about alternatives such as a cash deposit; your passport is an important document you should keep with you.

3. Deposit

A deposit is a guarantee that is fully refunded when the scooter comes back in good condition. The amount depends on the model and the rental's policy: small automatics are usually lower than an NMAX, PCX or XMAX. Make sure the deposit amount and deduction rules are confirmed in writing (for example in a WhatsApp chat) before you pay, and keep the proof. Details are in deposits, insurance & damage on rental scooters.

4. Accommodation address & contact

Rentals usually record your hotel/villa address and an active WhatsApp number. This makes delivery, pick-up and help with a breakdown easier.

5. Rules while renting

• Wear SNI helmets, rider and passenger.
• A maximum of two people per scooter.
• Carry the scooter's STNK (registration card, usually kept under the seat) along with your licence.
• Don't take the scooter off Bali without the rental's written permission.
• Report any damage or accident to the rental straight away.

Fines if you don't meet the requirements

Licence, STNK and helmet checks are held regularly in Bali, including in tourist areas. Maximum fines under Law No. 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transport:

Besides the fine, riding without a valid licence can get a travel insurance or damage claim refused. Police checks are explained in Bali traffic rules & police checks; if you don't have a licence yet, read renting a scooter without a licence in Bali first.

Checklist before you set off

1. SIM C or home licence + IDP.
2. Original ID card/passport.
3. The rental's booking confirmation (a WhatsApp chat with the price, dates, deposit and delivery fee).
4. Deposit money as required by the rental.
5. Photos/video of the scooter's condition at handover — see the scooter handover checklist.

All set? Choose your area and dates on the Bali scooter rental page, then send your booking on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to rent a scooter in Bali?

A valid SIM C (foreigners: home licence + IDP with the motorcycle category), an original ID card or passport, a deposit as set by the rental, and your accommodation address and an active WhatsApp number.

Can I rent a scooter with just an ID card?

An ID card is needed for identification, but you still must hold a SIM C (or a valid licence + IDP) to ride on the road.

What is the minimum age to rent a scooter?

It follows the SIM C requirement, which is at least 17 years old, plus each rental's own terms.

Does the rental have to keep my passport?

It shouldn't. A photo or photocopy of your passport is enough; if the rental wants security, offer a cash deposit with a written receipt.

Is a photo of my licence on my phone enough?

No. Carry your original physical licence; at police checks officers inspect the original, and photos or photocopies are generally not accepted.

Staying in Bali for more than two weeks? A monthly scooter rental is usually far cheaper than ride-hailing or taxis every day. Here's how to get a comfortable, drama-free monthly scooter.

Quick answer

• Estimated 2026 monthly prices: BeAT Rp700,000–Rp1,200,000, Scoopy Rp800,000–Rp1,400,000, Vario Rp900,000–Rp1,600,000, NMAX/PCX Rp1,800,000–Rp3,000,000 per month.
• A monthly rental usually costs the same as 10–15 days of daily rental, so it pays off once you stay longer than two weeks.
• Agree upfront on servicing & oil changes, a replacement scooter, flat tyres, extensions and the STNK's validity.
• Choose a rental near where you live (Canggu, Denpasar, Ubud, etc.) and ask for a quote via the Bali scooter rental page.

Who is monthly rental for?

• Digital nomads and remote workers in Canggu, Seminyak or Ubud.
• Employees or students who have just moved to Denpasar.
• Surfers staying a season in Uluwatu or Canggu.
• Slow travellers moving between areas.

Best areas for monthly rental

Choose a rental close to where you live so servicing and scooter swaps are easy. Areas with plenty of monthly options: Canggu, Seminyak, Denpasar, Ubud and Kuta.

Scooters that suit a full month

How to work out the cost

For a monthly rental, ask for a price per month, not per day, and make sure the total is in writing before you pay. Compare several rentals, because a small difference per day becomes big when multiplied by 30. Add estimated fuel and parking to your monthly budget.

See current prices in the catalogue

Things to agree on upfront

• Regular servicing: who pays for oil changes and servicing if you ride a lot?
• Flat tyres & battery: small costs like puncture repairs are usually the renter's — ask.
• Replacement scooter: does the rental provide a replacement if the scooter breaks down?
• Extensions: how to extend and at what price.
• Tax & STNK: make sure the STNK (registration) stays valid throughout the rental.

Change the oil roughly every 2,000–3,000 km or as per the service book. For a heavily used monthly rental, ask the rental about the service schedule from the start.

Estimated monthly transport budget

That's roughly Rp0.9–2 million a month for a small automatic. Compare that with daily ride-hailing or taxis, which easily pass that figure within two weeks. For stays of 6 months or more, also consider buying vs renting a scooter for a long stay; for 1–3 weeks, read weekly scooter rental in Bali.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a monthly scooter rental in Bali?

Estimated 2026 market prices: 110 cc automatics like the BeAT and Scoopy cost about Rp700,000–Rp1,400,000 per month, a Vario Rp900,000–Rp1,600,000, and an NMAX/PCX Rp1,800,000–Rp3,000,000.

Is monthly rental cheaper per day?

Usually yes, because the rental gets a guaranteed long booking. Compare total prices from several rentals.

Can I swap scooters mid-rental?

It depends on the rental. Ask at handover, especially if the scooter has problems.

Who pays for servicing on a monthly rental?

Many rentals cover oil changes and routine servicing, while the renter pays for punctures and damage from use. Make sure this is in writing before you pay.

Is the deposit bigger for a monthly rental?

It can be, depending on the rental and model. Ask for the deposit amount and refund rules in writing.

Published by SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.

Low prices are tempting, but a scooter that's too cheap can end with failing brakes, bald tyres or a deposit you never see again. Here's how to get the best price without sacrificing safety.

Quick answer

• A fair price for the cheapest rental scooter in Bali (Honda BeAT) is about Rp60,000–Rp90,000 per day; prices far below that are a warning sign.
• The most effective ways to save: rent longer (weekly/monthly), choose a 110 cc automatic, and rent in the area where you're staying to avoid delivery fees.
• Avoid rentals that won't put the price in writing, keep your passport, or rent out scooters without an STNK.
• Compare estimated prices by area & model on the Bali scooter rental page before negotiating.

1. Compare several rentals at once

The same scooter can cost different amounts at different rentals. On the Bali scooter rental page you can see price ranges per model and area as a benchmark before you negotiate or book.

2. Book early in peak season

Around school holidays, Lebaran (Eid), Christmas–New Year and July–August, cheap scooters go fast. Booking 1–2 weeks ahead gives you more choice.

3. Choose the scooter you need, not the biggest

For getting around Kuta–Seminyak, a Honda BeAT is more than enough and much cheaper than an NMAX. Save your budget for a powerful scooter only if you're actually going to Kintamani or Uluwatu.

4. Rent longer for a better daily rate

If you're staying a week or more, renting for the whole period is usually cheaper than extending day by day.

Rental red flags to avoid

• Refuses to give written/digital proof of the price and deposit.
• Scooter without an STNK, or a number plate that doesn't match it.
• Insists on keeping your passport with no alternative.
• Won't let you photograph the scooter's condition at handover.
• Price far below market rate for no clear reason.

How to protect your deposit

1. Film a walk-around video at handover, including the odometer and fuel level.
2. Note existing scratches together with the rental.
3. Return the scooter on time with the same fuel level as at pick-up.
4. Ask for written confirmation that your deposit has been refunded.

Get the price, deposit and cancellation policy in writing (for example in a WhatsApp chat) before paying, and keep it as proof of your booking.

Frequently asked questions

What's the cheapest scooter rental price in Bali?

The estimated market price for a Honda BeAT is about Rp60,000–Rp90,000 per day. For weekly or monthly rentals, the daily rate can be lower.

Which area has the cheapest scooter rental?

Areas with many rentals, like Kuta and Denpasar, are usually more competitive. Check the estimated prices by area on the scooter rental page.

When is the cheapest time to rent a scooter in Bali?

Outside peak season, i.e. apart from July–August, school holidays, Lebaran (Eid) and Christmas–New Year. In quiet periods rentals are more open to lowering the price.

Is a cheap scooter rental safe?

It can be, if the scooter is roadworthy, the STNK is valid, and the price and deposit are in writing. What to avoid is an unrealistic price with no explanation.

Landed in Bali and want to get going without queuing for a taxi? Many rentals can hand over a scooter in the pick-up area of I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport. Here's what to prepare.

Quick answer

• A scooter can be handed over in the pick-up area of I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS) — give your flight number and landing time when booking.
• Best for a backpack or cabin-size suitcase and destinations near the airport: Kuta, Tuban, Legian, Jimbaran (about 10–30 minutes).
• Big suitcase, night arrival, or heading to Ubud/Canggu? It's safer to take a taxi/shuttle first and have the scooter delivered to your hotel.
• Book via the scooter rental at Ngurah Rai Airport page; the final price & delivery fee are confirmed before you pay.

How does airport handover work?

Choose the Ngurah Rai Airport area when booking, then give your flight number and landing time. The rental will wait at the agreed pick-up point and hand over the scooter after checking your licence and ID.

Who is it for?

• Travellers with a backpack or cabin-size suitcase.
• Destinations near the airport: Kuta, Tuban, Jimbaran, Legian.
• Daytime arrivals in good weather.

When is hotel delivery better?

If you have a big suitcase, arrive at night, or are heading to faraway Ubud or Canggu, it's safer to take a taxi or the airport shuttle to your hotel and have the scooter delivered the next day.

Routes out of the airport

• To Kuta/Legian: via Jl. Raya Tuban, about 10–15 minutes.
• To Jimbaran/Uluwatu: south via Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai.
• To Nusa Dua/Sanur: via the Bali Mandara toll road, which has a dedicated motorbike lane (tolled), or the Ngurah Rai Bypass.
• To Seminyak/Canggu: via Sunset Road; busy in the afternoon.

Activate a data plan or eSIM before leaving the terminal so you can open your maps. Roads around the airport have lots of U-turns and one-way sections.

Airport handover step by step

1. Book at least a day ahead; send your flight number, landing time and scooter model on WhatsApp.
2. After collecting your bags, let the rental know you've left the arrivals area.
3. Meet the rental staff at the agreed point and show your licence and ID/passport.
4. Check and photograph the scooter's condition, fuel and STNK with the staff (see the scooter handover checklist).
5. Put on your helmet, set up navigation, and ride slowly until you're used to the traffic around the airport.

Returning the scooter at the airport

Many rentals can also take the scooter back at the airport on your departure day. Allow extra time: arrive at the airport about 30 minutes earlier than planned for the scooter check and deposit refund. Details are in returning a rental scooter.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a scooter right at Ngurah Rai Airport?

Yes. Many rentals hand over the scooter in the airport pick-up area after checking your licence and ID. Book ahead and include your flight number.

Is there an extra charge for airport handover?

It depends on the rental; any delivery fee is confirmed before you pay.

What if my flight is delayed?

Let the rental know on WhatsApp. Include your flight number when booking so the rental can track the schedule.

Can I carry a suitcase on the scooter?

A cabin-size suitcase or backpack can fit on an automatic's footboard. A big suitcase isn't safe on a scooter — take a taxi and have the scooter delivered to your hotel.
