Renting a Scooter in Bali with an Austrian Licence: Category A, Code 111 & the International Permit
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read
Austrians love Bali for its surf, rice fields and temples. Here's how to make sure your licence covers a scooter there.
What a Austrian rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Führerschein with category A1, A2 or A | Bali rental scooters are motorcycles |
| International Driving Permit (e.g. via ÖAMTC, ARBÖ or the licensing authority) | Expected by police next to your licence |
| Passport | Shown at handover and police checks |
| Travel insurance covering scooter riding | Check the licence conditions |
Licence rules and IDP procedures can change. Check with the issuing authority in Austria and your foreign ministry's travel advice before you go.
Code 111 and which scooter
With A1 (up to 125 cc) choose a BeAT, Scoopy, Vario 125 or Fazzio; for the NMAX 155, PCX 160 or ADV 160 you need A2 or A. Holders of B with code 111 only: treat it as home-only and consider a car with driver. Bali keeps left — read riding on the left in Bali and take a quiet first ride near your hotel.
Not licensed for motorcycles? A car with driver, a rental car or ride-hailing is safer for you and your insurance.
