Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Singapore Licence: Class 2B, ASEAN Recognition & the IDP
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read
Bali is a short flight from Singapore and a favourite weekend escape. Many Singaporeans already ride at home, so a scooter is the natural way to explore. Here's which licence counts, whether you need an IDP, and how to get a bike delivered with no deposit.
What a Singaporean rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Singapore licence with Class 2B, 2A or 2 | Bali scooters (110–160 cc) are motorcycles |
| International Driving Permit from the AA of Singapore (recommended) | Smooths police checks where officers expect an IDP |
| Passport | Shown at handover and police checks |
| Travel insurance that covers riding | Check the policy's licence conditions |
ASEAN recognition vs the IDP
Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia are ASEAN members, and under an ASEAN agreement a valid national licence from another member country is generally recognised. Police at a roadside check may still ask for an International Driving Permit, so many riders carry one to avoid arguments. Rules and their enforcement can change — check before you travel.
Only hold a Class 3 licence? Book a car with driver or use ride-hailing — riding without a motorcycle class can void your insurance.

How booking works
- Pick a scooter in the catalogue (or tell us your height, route and how many riders and we'll suggest one).
- Send your dates, the hotel or villa name with a Google Maps pin, and your WhatsApp number.
- The admin confirms the bike, the total price and the delivery time — no payment yet.
- The scooter arrives with 2 helmets. Check it together, show your passport and licence, then pay in full (bank transfer or e-wallet).
Book on WhatsApp or via the Bali scooter rental catalogue: the bike is delivered to your hotel or villa and you pay when it arrives.
Tips for Singaporeans
- Indonesia drives on the left, like Singapore — but traffic is far less orderly. Expect bikes overtaking on both sides.
- Roads to Uluwatu, Ubud and Kintamani are hilly; a 125–160 cc scooter is worth it for two people.
- Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger.
- Weekend trip? Ask for delivery to the airport area or your hotel — see first 24 hours with a Bali scooter.
