Renting a Scooter in Bali Without Leaving Your KTP or Passport: A Guide for Domestic & Foreign Travellers
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Many rentals in Bali still ask you to leave your ID card or passport as a guarantee. Yet those documents matter for your whole trip. Here's what's reasonable to ask for, the risks, and a safer way to rent.
Documents to prepare
| Document | Indonesian travellers | Foreign travellers |
|---|---|---|
| ID | KTP ID card (shown) | Passport (shown) |
| Licence | Valid SIM C | Home licence + International Driving Permit (IDP) |
| Contact | Active WhatsApp number | Active WhatsApp number |
| Where you're staying | Hotel/villa name + Google Maps pin | Hotel/villa name + Google Maps pin |
Why holding ID is risky
- Your ID or passport can be lost or damaged in someone else's hands.
- Your personal data can be misused.
- In a damage dispute, a held document becomes leverage.
- Foreign travellers need their passport for hotel check-in and flights.
If another rental asks for a guarantee, offer a cash deposit with a written receipt — don't hand over your passport. Read deposits, insurance & damage.
How to rent safely
- Choose a scooter in the catalogue and send your dates and location on WhatsApp.
- The admin confirms the scooter, total price and delivery time — no payment yet.
- When the scooter arrives, check it with the staff and take photos/video — see checking a rental scooter at handover.
- Show your ID/passport and licence, then pay in full.
