Find Motorbike for rent on Bali on our website from 5$/day

Picture mornings in Bali where the only traffic jam you can't escape is the one you choose to ride into — and even then, a scooter slips through where cars sit and wait. One day you're weaving up to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces for a view over stepped green paddies, the next you're catching the sun drop behind Tanah Lot, the sea temple that seems to float just off the coast. That's the appeal of a rented motorbike here: the island opens up the moment you stop depending on a driver's schedule.

South Bali's roads — Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Denpasar — are narrow and often gridlocked, the kind of streets where a car crawls and a scooter simply threads through and parks wherever it likes. Further out, many of the best spots sit at the end of winding village lanes that tour vans won't attempt. A scooter rental in Bali is really the only way to string several sights into one day and stop on a whim whenever the view demands it.

Top 10 things to see in Bali by scooter

1. Tegallalang Rice Terraces — iconic stepped paddies near Ubud, an easy short ride with viewpoints and swings.
2. Tanah Lot — an offshore sea temple, best reached along the coast road from Canggu or Seminyak in time for sunset.
3. Mount Batur — volcano and crater lake in Kintamani; ride up for the caldera views, ideally before dawn for sunrise (the summit hike itself needs a guide).
4. Uluwatu Temple — a clifftop temple on Bali's southern tip with a scenic ride across the Bukit Peninsula to reach it.
5. Nusa Dua to Uluwatu coastal road — a winding route past surf beaches like Padang Padang, Bingin and Balangan.
6. Sekumpul Waterfall — one of Bali's tallest falls, a longer ride north through mountain and jungle roads.
7. Jatiluwih Rice Terraces — a UNESCO-listed, larger and quieter alternative to Tegallalang, on a mountain-facing road in Tabanan.
8. Bali Swing and the Ubud jungle area — swings, nests and waterfalls tucked along winding countryside roads.
9. Mount Batukaru area — cool, curvy roads circling Bali's second-highest volcano, away from the crowds.
10. Lempuyang Temple — the "Gates of Heaven" photo spot with Mount Agung behind it, a longer ride through rural east Bali.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Bali?

You'll need your home motorcycle licence plus an International Driving Permit — a car licence alone doesn't cover a scooter here. The legal minimum age is 17, though many rental shops set their own, higher cutoff. Expect to leave a deposit, and some shops ask to hold a passport or ID as security; a cash deposit or ID copy is usually accepted instead.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Bali?

A standard automatic scooter, like a Honda Scoopy or Beat, runs roughly 70,000–90,000 IDR per day in low season and 90,000–130,000 IDR in high season, sometimes more for very short rentals. Bigger or premium models — a Honda PCX, a Vespa, or a 150–250cc trail bike — typically cost 120,000–350,000+ IDR per day.

• Prices climb in July–August and around Christmas and New Year, Bali's busiest tourist stretches.
• They ease off in February, May, and September–October, the quieter shoulder months.

When to book a rental scooter in Bali?

High season runs May to September, peaking in July and August, with a smaller rush around Christmas and New Year. Low season falls November to March, wettest from December to February. If you're after the best combination of good riding weather and lower prices, aim for the shoulder months just before or after the July–August peak, and book a few days ahead once you're inside high season.

Local traffic rules in Bali

Indonesia drives on the left. Helmets are compulsory for rider and passenger alike, and police in tourist areas check for them along with your licence and IDP. Motorbikes must run with headlights on during the day. Speed limits sit around 50 km/h in towns and up to 80–100 km/h on open or toll roads, though signage always takes priority. Drink-driving enforcement is strict enough to treat as zero tolerance, and with loose lane discipline and overtaking on both sides being normal, it pays to ride a little defensively.
