Bali Holiday Cost by Scooter: Daily Budget Breakdown
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
A rental scooter is the cheapest way to get around Bali, but the scooter is only one part of your holiday costs. Accommodation and food are usually the biggest items, followed by fuel, parking, entrance fees and a few costs that are easy to forget. This article works out a daily budget for two people sharing one scooter in three travel styles, gives a 5-day example total, and shows which items are easiest to cut. All figures are estimated market prices as of October 2026, excluding flights.
Daily budget for two people
| Cost item | Budget | Mid-range | Comfort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accommodation (1 room) | Rp200–350k (guesthouse/homestay) | Rp500–900k (3-star hotel, small villa) | Rp1.5 million+ (resort, private-pool villa) |
| Scooter rental | BeAT/Scoopy Rp60–90k | Vario/NMAX Rp75–150k | PCX/XMAX Rp130–350k |
| Fuel | Rp15–25k | Rp20–40k | Rp30–60k |
| 3 meals for two | Rp150–250k (warung) | Rp300–500k (warung + café) | Rp600k–1.2 million (restaurants) |
| Entrance fees & parking | Rp30–100k | Rp100–200k | Rp150–300k |
| Other (water, coffee, data SIM) | Rp30–50k | Rp50–100k | Rp100k+ |
| Total per day | ±Rp500–800k | ±Rp1–1.8 million | ±Rp2.5 million+ |
These are planning ranges. Accommodation in Canggu, Seminyak and Uluwatu tends to cost more than in Lovina, Amed or Sidemen, and all prices rise in peak season (July–August and year-end).
Scooter rental: small but decisive
Scooter rental prices in Bali are fairly consistent across areas. Daily rental is the most expensive per day; weekly and monthly rentals are cheaper per day. For a 5–7 day holiday, asking for the weekly price almost always pays off. Prices by model are in Bali scooter rental prices.

Fuel: work it out from the distance
The formula is simple: distance (km) ÷ consumption (km/litre) × price per litre. On Bali's busy, hilly roads, a 110–125 cc automatic averages 40–50 km/litre, while a 150–160 cc does about 35–45 km/litre.
| Plan | Distance | BeAT/Vario (Pertalite) | NMAX/PCX (Pertamax) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Relaxed day in town | 20–40 km | ±Rp5,000–10,000 | ±Rp8,000–18,000 |
| Day trip to Ubud or Uluwatu | 60–100 km | ±Rp12,000–25,000 | ±Rp22,000–45,000 |
| 7-day itinerary | 450–550 km | ±Rp100,000–140,000 | ±Rp160,000–250,000 |
Pertalite costs Rp10,000 per litre. The price of non-subsidised Pertamax is adjusted monthly by Pertamina; in Bali in early October 2026 it was about Rp16,000 per litre. For tips on petrol stations and roadside bottled fuel, read fuel, petrol stations & scooter parking in Bali.
Often-forgotten costs
- Scooter rental deposit: a security deposit you get back when the scooter is returned in good condition. Have the money ready at the start; see deposit, insurance & damage.
- Scooter delivery and pick-up fees if you are far from the rental, including to the airport.
- Entrance tickets at each attraction: about Rp15,000–75,000 per person per site; foreign visitors usually pay more.
- Sarong rental at some temples, if you don't bring your own.
- Bali Mandara Toll Road scooter lane, about Rp5,500 per trip.
- Foreign Tourist Levy of Rp150,000 per person for international visitors, paid through the official Love Bali portal.
- Minor damage: a puncture repair costs about Rp15,000–25,000; scratches from a fall can cost far more. Riding slowly is the best way to save money.
Example total: 5 days, 2 people, budget to mid-range
| Item | Calculation | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Accommodation, 4 nights | 4 × Rp350–600k | Rp1.4–2.4 million |
| Vario rental, 5 days | 5 × Rp75–100k (may be cheaper weekly) | Rp375–500k |
| Fuel ±300 km | Pertalite | Rp60–80k |
| Food for two | 5 × Rp200–400k | Rp1–2 million |
| Tickets & parking | 8–10 sites | Rp300–600k |
| Other | Water, coffee, data SIM | Rp200–400k |
| Total | ±Rp3.3–6 million |
That works out to about Rp330,000–600,000 per person per day, excluding flights. Day plans that fit this budget are in the 3-day itinerary and the 7-day Bali scooter itinerary.
Scooter vs ride-hailing vs car rental
For two people, a scooter is almost always cheapest. A single one-way ride-hailing trip from Kuta to Ubud can cost more than a day's scooter rental plus fuel. A car with a driver is more comfortable for families, groups, or if you don't have a licence, at several times the daily cost. The full comparison is in scooter rental vs ride-hailing vs car rental, and car options are at Bali car rental.
Staying away from the busiest centres, for example Kerobokan instead of Seminyak, or Penestanan instead of central Ubud, can cut room costs by 20–40%. With a scooter, a 10-minute ride into the centre is no problem.
7 ways to save without compromising safety
- Rent the scooter for your whole stay and ask for the weekly price.
- Choose a scooter to match your route: a BeAT for town; don't pay for an NMAX if you aren't heading into the mountains.
- Eat at local warungs; nasi campur (mixed rice) costs about Rp20,000–40,000 a plate.
- Group attractions by region so you don't backtrack.
- Fill up at petrol stations (SPBU), not from roadside bottles, which cost more per litre.
- Don't save by skipping your helmet or leaving your licence at home; traffic fines and accident costs are far higher.
- Compare estimated prices by area on Bali scooter rental before booking.
Conclusion
A Bali holiday on a rental scooter can start from around Rp500,000 a day for two, excluding flights. The biggest costs are accommodation and food, not the scooter. Budget for the deposit, entrance tickets and the small costs people forget, then choose a scooter to suit your route. See estimated prices for scooter rental in Bali and book via WhatsApp.
