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.
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.

| Scooter | Daily | Weekly |
|---|---|---|
| Honda Scoopy (Gen 4) | IDR 90,000 | IDR 515,000 |
| Honda Vario 125 | IDR 100,000 | IDR 515,000 |

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.
