Can Australians Rent a Scooter at SiapPergi? Here Are the Full Requirements

Australians can rent a scooter from SiapPergi in Bali, as long as they meet the riding requirements that apply in Indonesia, above all an Australian motorcycle licence accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP). This guide sets out the documents to prepare before you book, based on what our team checks every day when delivering and handing over vehicles in Bali.

Short answer: yes, with conditions

SiapPergi rents scooters and cars across mainland Bali, including to foreign visitors. For a scooter, the main requirements are a motorcycle licence, a passport or ID, and a minimum age of 17. Riders from Australia need more than an Australian licence alone: you also need an IDP with the motorcycle category. At handover, our team checks these documents before the keys are given over, so it is best to have everything ready from the start.

In other words, Australian visitors who hold a valid motorcycle licence and a matching IDP can book straight away. If one document is missing, sort it out before you leave for Bali rather than when the scooter arrives at your villa.

Documents you need to prepare

• An Australian driving licence that is still valid and includes the motorcycle category.
• An International Driving Permit (IDP) issued for your home country and showing the motorcycle category.
• Your passport (or another valid identity document). For a scooter, you show this at handover.
• A minimum age of 17.

Note: Traffic rules, IDP issuance and immigration requirements can change. Responsibility lies with: the police for riding rules, immigration for your entry and stay status, and the body that issues IDPs in your home country. Check the official sources again before you travel.

Scooter or car: different requirements

For a car (self-drive), you need a valid car licence. Australian visitors also need their Australian licence and an IDP with the car category. If you want a driver as well, the car-with-driver service is arranged separately, and the price is confirmed on WhatsApp for your route.

How to rent from Australia, step by step

1. Get your IDP before you leave. Do this in your home country and make sure the motorcycle category is listed.
2. Book on WhatsApp. Send the model, your dates and the address of your hotel or villa in Bali. The SiapPergi team answers in English or Indonesian every day from 07.00 to 23.00 WITA on 0818-0800-1102.
3. Choose your delivery location. The vehicle can be delivered to your hotel, villa, home or Ngurah Rai Airport at the same catalogue price.
4. Have your documents ready at handover. Show your licence and IDP together with your passport to the team delivering the vehicle.
5. Pay when the vehicle arrives. Payment is in Indonesian Rupiah, in cash, by bank transfer or by e-wallet. There is no online payment and no transfer in advance.

You can look at the scooter models available and the car rental options before you decide.

What is not required: no deposit, passport not held

SiapPergi does not ask for a deposit and does not hold your passport or ID. You only show the documents at handover, and you keep your passport yourself. This applies to both scooters and cars, so there is no need to worry about losing your papers during the rental.

Practical tips for Australian visitors

• If you are unsure which licence category you hold, ask the team before you collect the vehicle. It is better to check first than to have the rental cancelled on the spot.
• Every scooter comes with 2 helmets. If you need a particular size, mention it when you book.
• Give a full delivery address, especially if you are staying in areas such as Canggu or Seminyak, so the team can find you easily.
• The minimum rental is 2 days. For longer stays, weekly and monthly rates apply automatically.
• Scooters cannot be taken to Nusa Penida or the Gili Islands, because fast boats do not carry scooters. Rent another vehicle at your destination.
