Top 5 best scooter rentals in Bandung

Scooter Rental in Bandung 

Bandung’s nickname — Kota Kembang (City of Flowers) — reflects its gardens, tree-lined avenues, and year-round bloom. But its real charm lies in the layers: the Dutch-era villas of Ciumbuleuit, the street-food alleys of Pasar Baru, the creative hubs of Jalan Trunojoyo, and the cool highland villages just beyond the city limits. A scooter is the key to moving between these layers without delay. It slips past traffic on Jalan Diponegoro, parks steps from a sundanese restaurant in Cihapit, and carries you up the winding road to Tangkuban Perahu crater before the tour buses arrive. In Bandung, independence isn’t luxury — it’s necessity.

Required documents vary between rental companies, but common rules are as follows:

1. You can rent a small 50cc scooter with an ordinary B (car) licence or AM license;
2. You will need a car license or A1 (scooter) or A2 (small moto) driving licence for scooters with an engine capacity of 125cc;
3. A full moto licence (A class) is required for all scooters with an engine capacity more than 125cc.
   Some rental companies ask for an International Drivers Permit (IDP) and security deposit which will be returned at the end; always check the terms of specific providers on the booking page before making a reservation.
