Bali Long Stay Rental: What Documents Are Needed?

If you are planning a long stay in Bali and want to know what documents are needed for a bali long stay rental, the short answer is: a valid licence for the vehicle you ride or drive, and your passport or ID. Foreign visitors also need an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. This guide walks through each document, what to bring, and how the handover works.

The core documents at a glance

For a bali long stay rental you will normally need:

• A valid driving licence for the vehicle category (motorcycle or car)
• An International Driving Permit (IDP) if you are a foreign visitor
• Your passport or national ID card
• Your accommodation details (hotel, villa or home address for delivery)

Requirements can change, and the final decision on licences and permits rests with the Indonesian authorities (police and immigration). Check the official source before you travel.

Scooter rental: what you must show

For a scooter at SiapPergi you need:

• A motorcycle licence. Foreign visitors present their home licence together with an International Driving Permit that includes the motorcycle category.
• Your passport or ID. It is shown for checking, not held.
• A minimum age of 17.

If you want to compare models and daily rates before you apply, see scooter rental in Bali and the Honda Vario 125 page.

Car rental: what you must show

For a self-drive car you need a valid car licence. Foreign visitors present their home licence and an International Driving Permit. The same passport check applies. You can browse options on the car rental page, or look at car rental in Seminyak if you are staying there.

Document checklist for your long stay

Bring originals and photocopies, and keep digital copies on your phone:

1. Home driving licence (original card, valid, not expired)
2. International Driving Permit (with the correct category)
3. Passport (with your visa or stay permit page visible)
4. Accommodation address or villa name for delivery
5. Phone number that works in Indonesia for coordination

Note: Visa rules and stay durations are set by Indonesian immigration. Confirm your current status with the official source, since these rules change.

Why an IDP matters

A home licence alone is often not enough for a foreign visitor riding or driving in Indonesia. The IDP is a translation of your licence, and it must carry the right vehicle category. Apply for it in your home country before you arrive, and check the category printed on it matches what you intend to ride or drive.

What happens at handover

For a long stay, handover is simple. The vehicle is delivered to your hotel, villa or Ngurah Rai Airport anywhere in mainland Bali. At that moment you show your licence and passport, you inspect the vehicle, and you pay in Indonesian Rupiah. No deposit is taken and your passport is not held.
