Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Greek Licence: Category A1/A2/A & the International Permit
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read
Greeks know scooters from the islands — but Bali keeps left and traffic is busier. Here's what your licence needs.
What a Greek rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Greek licence with category A1, A2 or A | Bali rental scooters are motorcycles |
| International Driving Permit (issued in Greece) | 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 Greece and your foreign ministry's travel advice before you go.
Island rider? Bali is different
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. 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.
