Route summary

Practical steps
- Book the scooter before you fly and include your flight number.
- After landing, meet the courier at the agreed point and check the bike.
- Save the route to your villa in Google Maps and turn on voice guidance.
- Ride in the left lane and avoid overtaking trucks on narrow Kerobokan roads.
When to have the scooter delivered to your villa
If you land at night, carry a big suitcase, or have never ridden in Bali, take a taxi to Canggu and have the scooter delivered the next morning. Carrying a suitcase on a scooter is dangerous and can break the rules. See arriving in Bali at night.
Fill up at a petrol station around Sunset Road before entering Canggu; stations inside Canggu often have queues.
Onward routes: Canggu to Uluwatu and Canggu to Ubud. Every scooter option is at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.
