Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Mexican, Argentine, Chilean or Colombian Licence
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read
More and more Latin American travellers are discovering Bali — many for the surf. A scooter is the easiest way to reach the waves, as long as your licence covers motorcycles. Here's what to check.
What a Latin American rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| National licence with the motorcycle category | Bali scooters are motorcycles |
| International Driving Permit (motorcycle category) | Expected by police next to your licence |
| Passport | Shown at handover and police checks |
| Travel insurance covering scooter riding | Check the licence conditions |
Licence categories and IDP procedures differ by country and can change. Check with your national transit authority before you travel.
Surfers welcome
Ask for a scooter with a surfboard rack — see scooter with a surfboard rack and learn to surf in Bali. Bali keeps left: read riding on the left in Bali.
Not licensed for motorcycles? A car with driver, a rental car or ride-hailing is safer for you and your insurance.
