Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Brazilian Licence: CNH Category A & the PID
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read
Bali has a big Brazilian community, especially around the surf breaks of Canggu and Uluwatu. A scooter is the way to chase waves — as long as your CNH covers motorcycles. Here's what you need.
What a Brazilian rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| CNH with category A | Bali scooters are motorcycles |
| PID from DETRAN | International permit expected next to your CNH |
| Passport | Shown at handover and police checks |
| Travel insurance covering scooter riding | Hospital bills abroad can be very high |
Rules can change. Check your state DETRAN and the Itamaraty travel advice for Indonesia before you go.
Not licensed for motorcycles? A car with driver, a rental car or ride-hailing is safer for you and your insurance.

How booking works

- Send your dates, the hotel or villa name with a Google Maps pin, and your WhatsApp number.
- The admin confirms the bike, the total price and the delivery time — no payment yet.
- The scooter arrives with 2 helmets. Check it together, show your passport and licence, then pay in full (bank transfer or e-wallet).
