Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Swedish, Norwegian, Danish or Finnish Licence
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read
Nordic travellers flock to Bali in the dark winter months — and many arrive planning to ride a scooter. The key question is whether your licence includes motorcycles. Here's the simple version.
Licence check
| Your licence | Can you ride a Bali scooter? |
|---|---|
| B (car) only | No — choose a car with driver or ride-hailing |
| AM (moped) | No — Bali scooters are 110 cc or more |
| A1 (up to 125 cc) | Yes — BeAT, Scoopy, Vario 125, Fazzio |
| A2 or A | Yes — all scooters incl. NMAX, PCX, ADV |
Rules and how they're enforced can change. Check your government's travel advice for Indonesia before you go.
International Driving Permit
- Ask your national transport agency or motoring club how to apply in your country.
- Make sure the motorcycle category is shown.
- Carry it with your plastic licence — the permit alone is not valid.
- Read International Driving Permit for Bali.
Not licensed for motorcycles? A car with driver, a rental car or ride-hailing is safer for you and your insurance.
