In Bali, a scooter is the main means of transportation. There is a wide variety of different types of scooters on the island. The main one is a scooter. Children and adults ride scooters, animals and cargo, families travel, refrigerators and livestock are transported - the scooter is a real workhorse of the Balinese family. In this section we will take a closer look at this particular type of scooter. Other types of motorcycles, such as sport scooters, touring scooters, motocross scooters, etc. can be found on Rent a Motorcycle in Bali page.
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.
Well suited for traveling together - more powerful and, accordingly, heavier scooters.
This scooter is comfortable to go on long trips to explore the island. It will be comfortable for two, three, and can even accommodate four. It also has a spacious trunk and good power reserves for mountain roads.

Most companies in Bali offer big discounts on long-term rentals, so always look for discounts on long-term rentals if you want to find the cheapest rental and decide to stay on the island for a long time.
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.
To rent a scooter in Bali you need:
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.
The best scooters to rent 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:
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.
There are a lot of scooter rental companies operating in Bali. You can find such companies in almost any area of the island. However, in Bali, almost all companies also offer delivery when renting a scooter, so you don't have to be limited to your area when looking for a scooter to rent. On our website you can view the available options and order delivery of the scooter you like.
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.
Parking for scooters in Bali is usually not a problem. Unlike cars, a scooter is much easier to park, but on narrow tourist streets you may have problems with this. There are almost always inexpensive public parking lots near the beaches - the cost of parking for a scooter is usually about $0.2, regardless of the parking time. There are also almost always parking lots near large shops and good restaurants, where you can always leave your scooter if you are a visitor. Don't abuse the trust of the owners of such restaurants - if you just want to leave the scooter there and go somewhere else, you may have problems when it comes to picking up the scooter. Near tourist attractions such as waterfalls, rice fields, etc. Inexpensive parking spaces are also usually always available.
It is important to pay attention to signs and directions to avoid fines or towing of the scooter. Parking along the road is sometimes permitted, but care must be taken not to obstruct traffic. It is important to be aware of local parking rules and practices to avoid unpleasant situations and ensure the safety of your scooter in Bali.
The island offers a reliable gas station infrastructure, especially in tourist areas. You can easily find gas stations with different types of fuel. There is only one state-owned network of gas stations in Bali, and fuel at them is always at a fixed price. You can also often find mini gas stations at small roadside shops or even bottles of gasoline at local merchants. We do not recommend refueling in such places - low-quality fuel can damage the engine. However, as a last resort, if there is no more gasoline and the gas station is far away, this refueling option can be convenient. By the way, gasoline in Bali is green.
You should always carry cash with you as most gas stations do not accept credit cards.
Bali has low and high tourist seasons, depending on weather conditions and holidays. Here we will give an approximate graph of average prices for renting scooters depending on the month.
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.
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.
Speed limits in Bali vary depending on location: in urban areas the speed limit is usually 50 km/h, outside the city 80 km/h. Restrictions for scooters are often stricter than for cars - pay attention to road signs!
You need to choose a scooter depending on your riding experience and needs. If you have little experience riding a scooter, it is recommended to rent a small and low-powered scooter - a good choice for beginner Honda Scoopy riders. It is also not recommended to take a passenger if you have little experience driving a scooter - a passenger makes the scooter heavier, which makes maneuvering more difficult.
Renting an inexpensive scooter in Bali can cost $2 per day if you rent a scooter for a period of 30 days or more. For a shorter period, the cheapest price for renting a scooter will be about $6 per day. Of course, if you rent a powerful or rare motorcycle, the price will be much higher.
There is no one cheapest scooter rental company in Bali - there are a huge number of scooter rental companies on the island and the cheapest rental price can be found in different companies, depending on the season, the availability of scooters and discounts on them.
There are many good scooter rental companies in Bali that care about their customers. Unatam cooperates with such companies and also provides its own additional service that guarantees the quality of services.
Fuel consumption per 100 km depends on the power, weight and model of the scooter. Inexpensive, economical Honda Scoopy scooters consume approximately 1.6 liters of gasoline per 100 km. Fuel tank capacity is about 4.8 liters
You can rent a scooter directly at Ngurah Rai Airport on the island of Bali, without having to contact companies located near the airport. You can get better prices and a selection of scooters on our website from companies operating throughout the south of the island. As a rule, along with renting a scooter, the service of delivering the scooter to the airport or hotel is provided - this way you are not tied only to companies located in your location and can choose scooters from many companies.
Not all scooter rental companies in Bali provide insurance. You can get better prices for renting a scooter by choosing a scooter without insurance, but in this case you accept responsibility for any damage that the scooter may receive during use.
An international license or Indonesian driver's license is required when driving a scooter in Bali. However, scooter rental companies often either do not check the license or the national driving license is suitable for them. If you are stopped by the police, they may check to see if you have an International Driving Permit.
In Bali, as in Indonesia in general, you can get a motorcycle driver's license from the age of 17. scooter rental companies are also usually quite sensitive to the age of the driver and can issue a car to drivers over 17 years old. Some companies, however, stipulate in their terms and conditions that the driver must be at least 21 years old at the time of receipt of the scooter - always look at the terms of the rental before paying for the booking for the scooter.
