Renting a Scooter in Bali with a Taiwanese Licence: Heavy Motorcycle Class & the International Permit
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 5 min read
Taiwanese travellers are some of the most experienced scooter riders anywhere — but in Bali, traffic keeps left. Here's what your licence needs and how to book with delivery.
What a Taiwanese rider needs
| Document | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Taiwan licence with ordinary heavy motorcycle class | Covers 110–160 cc scooters |
| International Driving Permit (Motor Vehicles Office) | Expected by police next to your licence |
| Passport | Shown at handover and police checks |
| Travel insurance covering scooter riding | Check the licence conditions |
Check the latest rules with your Motor Vehicles Office before you travel.
Riding on the left
Turning, roundabouts and overtaking all flip. Take a quiet first ride near your hotel and read riding on the left in Bali and the unwritten rules of Bali traffic.
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, via the Bali scooter rental catalogue or find the scooter rental near me: the bike is delivered to your hotel or villa and you pay when it arrives.
