When to have the scooter delivered to your villa
If you land at night, carry a big suitcase, or have never ridden in Bali, take a taxi to Canggu and have the scooter delivered the next morning. Carrying a suitcase on a scooter is dangerous and can break the rules. See arriving in Bali at night.
Fill up at a petrol station around Sunset Road before entering Canggu; stations inside Canggu often have queues.
