Can I Rent a Scooter in Bali Without a KTP?

Can I rent a scooter in Bali without a KTP? Yes, as long as you have another valid identity document, such as your passport, and a licence that matches the vehicle. Here is the full explanation, including what to prepare before you rent.

The short answer

For foreign visitors, a KTP has never been a mandatory requirement. What you need is official identity (your passport, or a KTP if you have one) and a valid licence for riding a motorcycle. Rental operators usually want to confirm who the renter is, not necessarily see a KTP.

Note: immigration and traffic rules can change. Always check the official Indonesian government sources before you travel.

Documents to prepare

• Original passport (or your KTP if you are an Indonesian citizen)
• Motorcycle licence from your home country, together with an International Driving Permit (IDP) that includes the motorcycle category
• Minimum age of 17 years to rent a scooter
• Photos or copies of your documents as a backup, stored separately from the originals

For a car, you need a valid car licence and an IDP if your licence is not in English or is not from a recognised country.

Why do I still need to bring my passport?

Many travellers worry because they have to show their passport. This is normal. Keep in mind: your passport only needs to be shown together with your licence at handover, and the renter does not have to keep it. Never hand over your original passport as a guarantee without clear written terms.
