Can I Rent a Monthly Scooter with an International Driving Permit?

Yes, you can rent a scooter for a month with an international driving permit, as long as you also carry your home-country driving licence and an International Driving Permit (IDP) with the motorcycle category. Here is what you need to prepare before renting a monthly scooter in Bali.

What Is an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

The "international driving licence" that many travellers mention is really the International Driving Permit (IDP), a translated document that supplements your original licence from your home country. An IDP does not work on its own: you must still carry your home-country licence.

• Your original home-country licence (valid and not expired)
• An IDP with the motorcycle category (for riding a scooter)
• Your passport or ID as identification

Driving rules for foreign visitors are set by the Indonesian government and the police. They can change, so check the official source before you travel.

Can You Rent a Scooter for a Month?

Yes. A monthly rental uses the same requirements as a daily or weekly one: a motorcycle licence, an IDP and identification. Only the duration and rate change.

At SiapPergi, monthly rates apply automatically. Scooters start from Rp70,000 per day, from Rp395,000 per week, and from Rp910,000 per month. The system calculates the cheapest mix of daily, weekly and monthly rates for your dates.

Example Cost Comparison

The prices above are fixed catalogue prices in Indonesian Rupiah. Some models cost more per day, for example the Honda PCX 160 or Yamaha NMAX 155 at Rp150,000 per day, so check the page of the model you want: scooter rental by model.

Steps to Rent a Scooter for a Month

1. Prepare your documents. Your original licence, an IDP with the motorcycle category, and your passport or ID.
2. Choose your dates and location. Set your start date and delivery address, such as your hotel, villa or Ngurah Rai Airport.
3. Book on WhatsApp. Message +6281808001102 (open every day 07.00–23.00 WITA), in English or Indonesian.
4. Confirm and hand over. The team delivers the scooter to you. Show your licence and IDP at handover.
5. Pay when the scooter arrives. You pay in Indonesian Rupiah on delivery.

Document Checklist Before You Travel

• [ ] Original home-country licence, still valid
• [ ] IDP with the motorcycle category, still valid
• [ ] Passport (or a clear copy) as identification
• [ ] Active WhatsApp number for confirmation
• [ ] Exact hotel or villa address for delivery

Make sure every document stays valid for the whole rental period. For a one-month rental, your licence and IDP must still be valid on the return date.

Things to Keep in Mind

• Do not rely on your licence without an IDP. Many travellers assume the home licence alone is enough. In roadside checks, a missing IDP can cause problems.
• A scooter rental is not the same as a car rental. For a car you need a car licence and an IDP with the car category. See car rental in Bali for the differences.
• Scooters cannot be taken to other islands. Fast boats do not carry scooters, so a rented scooter cannot go to Nusa Penida or the Gilis.
• Rules can change. Immigration, police and regional government rules may change at any time. Check official sources before you go.
