Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Swiss Licence: Category A1/A & the International Permit
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read
Swiss travellers love Bali's mountains and beaches alike — and a scooter connects them. Here's what your Swiss licence needs to show and how to book with delivery to your villa.
What a Swiss rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Licence with category A1 or A | Bali scooters are motorcycles |
| International Driving Permit | Expected next to your licence |
| Passport | Shown at handover and police checks |
| Travel insurance covering scooter riding | Check the licence conditions |
A1 or A: which scooter?
| Your category | Scooters |
|---|---|
| A1 (up to 125 cc) | BeAT, Scoopy, Vario 125, Fazzio |
| A (incl. limited A) | All scooters incl. NMAX 155, PCX 160, ADV 160 |
Not licensed for motorcycles? A car with driver, a rental car or ride-hailing is safer for you and 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.
