Vespa Rental in Bali: Daily Price, Models & Canggu Tips
By the SiapPergi Editorial Team · Published 12 October 2026 · 6 min read
The Vespa is the most photogenic scooter on the streets of Canggu and Seminyak. Its classic shape is perfect for holiday photos, and modern automatic versions like the Primavera and Sprint are as easy to ride as any other scooter. But they cost more and have a different character. This article answers how much an automatic Vespa costs to rent in Bali, which models are available, and when a Vespa really is the right choice.
Automatic Vespa models commonly for rent
| Model | Engine | Daily rental range | Licence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vespa LX 125 | approx. 125 cc | approx. Rp120–160k | SIM C |
| Vespa Primavera 150 | approx. 150 cc | approx. Rp130–200k | SIM C |
| Vespa Sprint 150 | approx. 150 cc | approx. Rp150–200k | SIM C |
| Vespa GTS 300 | approx. 278 cc | More expensive, ask the provider | SIM C I |
The ranges above are summarised from rental shops' public price lists and travel guides in October 2026; actual prices depend on the bike's year, the area and the rental length. For comparison, the retro-styled Honda Scoopy costs about Rp70–90k per day.
Pros and cons of a Vespa
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Classic looks, great for photos | Rental price twice that of a regular scooter |
| Steel body feels solid and stable | Heavier to push or park in narrow lanes |
| Smooth engine for town riding | Small wheels are less comfortable on potholed roads |
| A SIM C is enough (except the GTS 300) | Smaller under-seat storage than an NMAX/PCX |
The best areas to ride a Vespa
- Canggu & Pererenan — short hops between cafés and beaches; see riding a scooter in Canggu.
- Seminyak — beach clubs and boutiques; see getting around Seminyak by scooter.
- Sanur — relatively quiet roads for beginners.
- Avoid riding a Vespa two-up on long climbs such as Kintamani and Bedugul; for those, choose an NMAX or PCX.
Tips for renting a Vespa
- Ask the bike's year; poorly maintained older Vespas often have electrical problems.
- Use the fuel recommended in the owner's manual; many Vespa owners use higher-octane fuel such as Pertamax.
- Photograph every side of the body: scratches on a Vespa's steel body are expensive to repair.
- Make sure you get a helmet, a raincoat and the rental shop's emergency contact number.
- Carry the right licence; foreign tourists use a valid international driving permit.
Want a retro look for less? The Honda Scoopy has a classic design and costs about half as much as a Vespa to rent. Compare on Bali scooter rental.
Conclusion
Automatic Vespa rental in Bali costs about Rp130–200k per day and is best for cruising Canggu, Seminyak and Sanur in style. For long trips or hills, a 150 cc scooter with a bigger engine is more practical. See the overview of all vehicle types in Bali vehicle rental prices.
