Scooter Rental Across Bali: 9 Regencies & 57 Districts
By the SiapPergi Editorial Team · Published 12 October 2026 · 12 min read
Bali is made up of 8 regencies and 1 city, with 57 districts (kecamatan) in total. Scooter rentals cluster in South Bali and Ubud, but tourists, workers and students live in almost every district, from Melaya at the western tip to Kubu on the slopes of Mount Agung. This guide maps every district in Bali: the nearest rental area, how far it is, what the district is known for, and links to more detailed guides. For prices and booking, see the main Bali scooter rental page.
How to read this guide
Each table below covers one regency/city. The nearest rental area column shows the Bali scooter rental service point closest to the centre of the district, measured as a straight-line distance. Road distances are usually 1.3–1.5 times longer. District names link to that district's scooter rental page (nearest rental & estimated prices), and “area profile” links to its list of villages, customary villages, neighbouring districts and distance to the bus terminal. A short list is also available at scooter rental near me.
Staying in a village far from the tourist hubs? When booking via WhatsApp, give the village and district of your accommodation. The rental shop can then quote the delivery fee accurately and pick a scooter suited to hilly roads.

Tips for renting a scooter in districts far from the tourist hubs
- Book early. Long-distance deliveries need scheduling; send your date, time and accommodation location at least a day in advance.
- Ask about delivery and pick-up fees. For 20–50 km, the delivery fee can exceed the daily rental. A weekly rental usually makes this cost easier to absorb.
- Save the number of the nearest mechanic and tyre repair shop. In villages, workshops close early. Read flat tyres, breakdowns & accidents on a rental scooter.
- Fill the tank before heading into the mountains. Petrol stations are scarce in northern Kintamani, Petang, Pupuan and West Bali; villages have mini pumps at higher prices.
- Check the STNK (registration) and road tax. Make sure the plate matches the STNK, especially on the Denpasar–Gilimanuk road where checks are common.
| Model | Price/day | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Honda BeAT | from Rp60.000 | Fuel-efficient & light, great around town |
| Honda Scoopy | from Rp65.000to Rp70.000 | Retro style, roomy storage |

Estimated market price per day. The final price depends on the rental, the bike's year, rental length & season, and is confirmed before you pay.
