Scooter Rental in Bali: A Practical Guide for Visitors
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 4 min read
Scooter rental in Bali is the most popular way to explore the island, from the beaches of Canggu to the rice terraces of Ubud. This guide covers prices, licence requirements, safety checks and how to book a delivered scooter without handing over your passport.
Why a scooter is the best way to get around Bali
Traffic in Bali is busy, taxis add up quickly, and many of the best spots sit down small roads that cars struggle with. A scooter gives you freedom to stop at a warung, find a quiet surf break or reach a viewpoint at your own pace. Most visitors rent one for a few days, while long-stay guests often rent for a month.
Scooter rental prices in Bali
Prices vary by model and rental length. At SiapPergi, catalogue prices are fixed and are shown in Indonesian Rupiah, starting from Rp70.000 per day (24 hours). Here are some examples:
| Model | Daily price | Monthly price |
|---|---|---|
| Honda BeAT (Gen 4–5) | Rp80.000 | Rp1.210.000 |
| Honda Scoopy (Gen 4) | Rp90.000 | Rp1.410.000 |
| Honda Vario 125 | Rp100.000 | Rp1.510.000 |
| Yamaha NMAX 155 (Gen 2) | Rp150.000 | Rp2.260.000 |
| Honda PCX 160 (Gen 2) | Rp150.000 | Rp2.260.000 |
| Yamaha XMAX 250 (Gen 2) | Rp310.000 | Rp4.010.000 |
Weekly rates are also available, and the cheapest mix of daily, weekly and monthly rates is calculated for your dates. The minimum rental is 2 days.
Choose a smaller 110cc or 125cc model if you mainly ride in town and on short trips. A 155cc or 160cc model gives more power for hills such as the roads to Kintamani or Munduk.
Licence and document requirements
Requirements change, so always confirm with the official source before you travel. As a general guide:
- Scooter rental: you need a motorcycle licence. Foreign visitors normally need their home licence together with an International Driving Permit (IDP) that includes the motorcycle category.
- Minimum age: 17 years for scooter rental at SiapPergi.
- Identity: a passport or ID, which you show at handover.
Check your IDP and licence validity before departure, and make sure your travel insurance covers motorbike riding in Indonesia. Many policies exclude it unless specifically added.
Before you ride: a short checklist
- Test the brakes and lights in a quiet area before you leave.
- Check the tyres and fuel level, and ask how the fuel is handled before you ride off.
- Wear your helmet at all times. SiapPergi includes 2 helmets with every scooter.
- Photograph the scooter from all sides and note any existing scratches.
- Save the team's WhatsApp number (0818-0800-1102) in your phone.
- Keep rain gear with you. Bali's wet season brings sudden downpours. Optional raincoats are available for Rp15.000 to Rp25.000.
- Ride defensively, keep to the left, and avoid riding at night on unlit roads if you are unfamiliar with them.
Where to ride and how far
Most visitors base themselves in the south (Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu) or in Ubud. From these areas you can reach Uluwatu, Sanur and Jimbaran in under an hour. Northern routes such as Lovina or Amed are longer and better suited to a few days of riding. Remember that fast boats do not carry scooters, so you cannot take your scooter to Nusa Penida, the Gili Islands or Lombok; rent another one at your destination.
