Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Hungarian Licence: Category A1/A2/A & the International Permit
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read
Bali is a bucket-list trip for many Hungarians. Here's the licence check before you rent a scooter there.
What a Hungarian rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Jogosítvány with category A1, A2 or A | Bali rental scooters are motorcycles |
| International Driving Permit (e.g. at a government office (kormányablak)) | 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 Hungary and your foreign ministry's travel advice before you go.
A1 or A: 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. 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.
