Small scooter hire

For beginners, scooters that are not very powerful and not heavy are best suited. After all, as a rule, the more powerful the scooter, the heavier it is and the more difficult it is to control. These scooters are also great for girls - girls are usually lighter and therefore don't need powerful scooters. If your weight is significant or you are going to ride the scooter with two people and you want to feel comfortable on steep climbs, it is better to take a more powerful and larger scooter.

What you need to know before hireng a scooter in Bali

Bali, like any other place, has its own peculiarities when renting a scooter. In this guide, we have tried to take into account all the questions that you may have before renting a scooter in Bali.

What do you need to hire a scooter in Bali?

To rent a scooter in Bali you need:

  • 1. Passport or ID
  • 2. Driver's license to operate a scooter.

Often rental companies do not check for a driver's license, or may accept a national driver's license. However, in Indonesia you need an Indonesian driver's license or an international driver's license. If your documents are checked by the police, you may have problems if you are unable to provide the required documents.

The driver must be at least 17 years old. However, some scooter rental companies in Bali indicate in the rental conditions the minimum age of the driver is 21 years.

Best scooters to hire in Bali

The best scooters to hire in Bali come in a variety of models depending on your preferences and budget. It is important to consider local traffic conditions and scooter type preferences. Here are some popular models:

  • Honda Scoopy - This is a stylish scooter with a compact design, excellent maneuverability and a comfortable seat.
  • Yamaha NMax - A sports scooter with a powerful engine that provides excellent performance and handling.
  • Yamaha XMax - A comfortable scooter with advanced ergonomics, suitable for long trips around the island.
  • Honda PCX - Stylish and economical scooter with automatic transmission, providing ease of control.

Remember that traffic conditions in Bali may be different from what you are used to, so choose a scooter that suits your riding experience and needs.

What you need to know about scooter insurance in Bali

Not all scooter rental companies in Bali provide insurance services. It is possible to get better rental rates by choosing a scooter without insurance. However, in this case, you assume responsibility for all possible damage that the scooter may receive during use. It is worth noting that the cost of repairing a scooter in Bali is usually low.

Most often, scooters are offered without insurance, but scooter owners do not pay attention to minor scratches when returning the scooter - this is also usually stated in the rental conditions.

What are the features of driving a scooter in Bali?

People who come to Bali often get the feeling that there are no traffic rules here. However, this is not the case - you just need to understand some of the peculiarities of traffic in Bali.

  • The island has fairly narrow roads and almost all of them have no sidewalks or shoulders - this is usually not a problem for a scooter until you have to pass a car or truck.
  • Always stop at a red light Although other drivers in Bali may sometimes ignore this rule, on wide highways breaking this rule is likely to result in a collision and unpleasant consequences.
  • At a red traffic light, stop in front of the stop line - traffic cameras can record this violation, and the police also enforce this rule.
  • Always wear a helmet when driving a scooter. In addition to ensuring safety, this will also help avoid fines from the police.
  • Sound a short horn , drawing the attention of other drivers to your scooter when maneuvering on the road, if you doubt the actions of the cars and scooters around you. Sound signals in Bali serve as a kind of means of communication between drivers.
  • Scooters often ride on oncoming lanes, sidewalks and other suitable and unsuitable surfaces for riding - be careful!
  • In the case of a minor accident, very often no one stops or pays any attention to it. Be prepared for this behavior from other drivers. We still recommend that you stop and contact the company you rented the scooter from for further instructions.
  • In tourist places, especially in the evening, you can meet drunk tourists driving - be extremely careful on the road and do not drink alcohol while driving.

Despite these features, traffic in Bali is quite safe. Traffic speeds in the city are very low - due to low speeds, the likelihood of getting into a serious accident is very small.

Be careful and predictable while riding and Bali will provide you with a unique and exciting motorcycle riding experience.
