Are you preparing your next trip to Bali and would you like to rent a scooter on the Island of the Gods? Here is everything you need to know for renting a motorcycle in Bali in the form of 5 practical tips on driving a 2-wheeler that will help you before your trip but also once there: Driver’s license, insurance, price scooter rental and fuel, safety and road conditions.
You can explore Bali by scooter but also Lombok, Flores or Sulawesi. The scooter is undoubtedly the best way to fully enjoy Indonesia in complete freedom. But there are laws and rules of conduct to know and respect.
Here is the outline of this blog post on scooter rental in Bali:
1. Scooter safety on the roads of Bali
2. The price of a scooter rental in Bali
3. Road conditions in Bali
4. Where to refuel your scooter in Bali?
5. What driving license and what insurance to rent a scooter in Bali?
6. Get a good insurance to cover during your stay
If you are reading this article, it means that you will surely go on vacation to Bali! All our Indonesia travel stories can be accessed from this link. We take you to Bali but also to Lombok, Gilis, Komodo, Flores or Sulawesi. And yes, Indonesia has been our favorite playground since forever. This is how we have become experts on the destination for international travelers and tourists.
To visit Lombok and Bali by scooter, know that you have to drive on the left (like in the UK). Better to know it from the start! It can be unsettling at first for some but you get used to it quickly.
Wearing a helmet is mandatory (it’s a must) with permanently attached strap. Avoid riding at night for your safety and due to the lack of public lighting. In Bali, it gets dark around 6 p.m.
Be careful, you can be arrested at any time by the local police, unfortunately still too often corrupt. Avoid them as much as possible and if possible ignore them. At red lights, avoid being in the front line! They love to stop tourists on this occasion. Even if you have nothing to reproach yourself with, they will always find something to complaint about.
What to do in case of arrest by the local police?
If the policeman is alone, hand him a small ticket or demand a ticket (or fine) and tell the policeman who is often more of a rural warden (for towns) that you are asking for the case to be settled in the court of justice of Denpasar. This is how it should normally be. However, the policeman will not want to go and waste half a day in the capital for that. Know that in 2016, only 52 tickets in all were filed in court! He will therefore let you go in 99.9% of cases, always trying to get something in the end. It can go as far as a candy!
If it is a police roadblock, stop and present all the requested documents. If you are in good standing, the police have nothing to ask you to pay.
The villagers can also warn you of possible roadblocks and offer you to cut across the field. It has already happened to many people on the road between Ubud and Mount Batur. Normally the signs are: honking, flashes their headlights, or just simply saying: polisi… polisi (police, police).
2. The price of a scooter rental in Bali
The scooters for rent in Bali are mostly 110 or even 125 cc, which is more than enough to explore the island, even if the coasts can be steep in some places. FYI, two with two backpacks, we traveled Bali and Lombok on a single scooter the first time but it is not necessarily the most practical, we grant you. It is therefore better to plan to travel light in this case.
Renting a scooter is very simple. Speak to your host as soon as you arrive in Bali. In any case, he will be able to either bring your scooter directly to your accommodation or he will tell you about a scooter rental company nearby. And scooters, in Bali, that’s not what’s missing!
Scooter rental prices in Bali are low and decreasing depending on the duration, but you can also rent a scooter for a single day from any village.
The average price of renting a scooter varied between IDR 70 000 and 80 000 per day, or around €4.50. A price that starts to be negotiated if you rent the scooter for more than 3 days. For 1 month’s rental, you should pay around IDR 850 000 or around €50 after negotiation.
Good to know: Near surf spots in the south such as Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu or on the Bukit peninsula, the scooters are equipped with a rack on the side to carry your surfboard!
3. Road conditions in Bali
Visiting Bali by scooter means taking roads that are generally in good condition. Many have even been redone in recent years. Traffic in the south of the island is generally very dense and even becoming denser. We could see the evolution of the traffic between 2011 and 2021 becausewe livie in Bali. It is better to be used to riding a scooter and in any case not be afraid of traffic.
You have to let yourself be carried away by the flow of other scooters which do not hesitate to take sidewalks or other verges, especially in the south of Bali. So be extra careful in the big cities and especially in the alleys of Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and in Ubud which are often congested and where respect for the highway code becomes secondary.
For information, it took about 45 minutes to reach Ubud from the beaches of southern Bali. In July 2023, it took more than 2 hours! It becomes hellish and more and more dangerous, especially because of the trucks that have become ubiquitous.
Watch out for potholes everywhere else. Last point, the roads around Sidemen are often in poor condition.
Bali scooter breakdown! Watch out for the road of death!
Last important point: Absolutely avoid the seaside road between the beaches of southern Bali and Java. The road is nicknamed the highway of death. Indeed, it is the road (which does not look like a highway at all but rather a secondary road) that thousands of trucks take daily from Jakarta to/from Denpasar.
Drivers in Indonesia are used to driving more than 50 hours in a row. They take substances that we will not describe here which allow them to hold. They are not in their normal state behind the wheel and you can imagine that it is not a small scooter that stops them. There are a lot of injuries and especially deaths on this road every year.
5. What driving license and what insurance to rent a scooter in Bali?
Before you leave and before you can visit Bali by scooter, get an international permit from your city hall.
Know that in Indonesia, as in Thailand, the French car license (for example) which normally allows you to drive a scooter of less than 125 cm³ in France and in many countries in the world is not sufficient to legally drive a scooter in Indonesia.
So there are 2 solutions:
Illegally
Either you drive illegally at your own risk and in the event of an accident, it could cost you extremely dearly because the usual insurance does not cover driving 2 wheels outside France and therefore in Indonesia. So, we still found a solution in case you hurt yourself (slip, broken arm, sore knees, etc.) by subscribing to one of the travel insurances which will reimburse you for hospitalization costs.
On the other hand, if the accident involves third parties and the police on the spot block your repatriation, for example, because you are not in the legality, that will be another problem. We contacted Chapka and the case fortunately never happened but you should know that you could have very big problems.
Legally
Either you want to drive legally. The 1st solution is to have a motorcycle license passed in your country and the stamp well placed on your international license. The 2nd solution is to obtain directly on the spot in Bali a temporary local permit reserved for tourists, the Surat Izin Mengemudi also known in Indonesia under the name of SIM C for motorcycles of less than 250 cm³.
This local permit is obtained from the police (Polersta) in the city of Denpasar. It is then necessary to plan to block 1 whole day for the steps which can prove to be very long and to go to the following address: Jl. Gunung Sanghyang No.110.
Provide photocopies of the passport and the residence visa as well as a medical certificate of good mental and physical health which must be established in Bali (possible in the small hospital located opposite the police station for IDR 25000).
There is normally then a theoretical exam in the form of a MCQ of 30 questions and a practical exam. It is very common that the temporary local permit is issued without going through these examinations for a small ticket.
The theoretical total cost to obtain this permit is normally IDR 200000 but you will often be asked for more. Now you know why! Significant additional consequence: saving time. This is how to be completely legal to drive a scooter in Bali and therefore not have any problems with the Police, especially in the event of an accident involving third parties and thus be insured.
Your international license
Your international license will be required when renting the scooter. You will have to present your national license and your international license during controls as well as your valid passport. Check before finalizing the rental, the vehicle papers of course but also the brakes, the tires, the light and most importantly the horn, essential for driving in complete safety. Do not hesitate to take pictures of the scooter or even film it before leaving the rental company.
Also check the license plate. The expiry date of the insurance appears as 01-2023 for January 2023 for example. This date must always be valid otherwise during a possible control, you will have to pay! And visiting Bali by scooter can end up being expensive at the end of the stay if you are unlucky.
Be careful but everything is easy in Indonesia. It happened to many people, that the engine of the scooter stopped working in the middle of nowhere, locals brought their help, with only 5 minutes waiting. In short, you will always find a villager who will struggle to help you. And it’s an opportunity to meet locals!
The scooter is one of the ideal means of transport during a trip to Indonesia because it brings unparalleled freedom of discovery.
With the traffic which has developed enormously since, we advise you now rather to take a taxi, an Uber (not accepted everywhere on the island), a Grab, a Gojek, or a car with driver to make the journeys between each step and then rather to rent a scooter to radiate around the drop points. This remains the least dangerous solution. So ready to visit Bali by scooter?
There are thousands of tourists who circulate without any problem with rental motorbikes.
Scooter travelers in Bali take risks, but in the vast majority of cases, they have no worries / accidents. It is true that this allows a very appreciable feeling of freedom.
Driving in Bali is not as diabolical as some people write. There’s no real priority, but people drive quite slowly.
Make sure your insurance cover a scooter accident in Bali and for a third party injuries.
Leave your country with good insurance because it is rare that “all included” insurance includes a 3rd party.
Remember that in Bali, medical costs are very important and you will be asked for your insurance before any intervention. Or if you don’t have an insurance, they will ask you to pay first.
Also keep on you papers allowing you to identify yourself, address of your hotel, copies of identity papers. It’s tempting to go surfing with your board and swimsuit. For example, the consul of France related a few years ago, how a comatose victim, whose path had crossed that of a dog and of which no identifying document was found on him, remained in the state for several days and finally died, because no one could identify it, authorize the interventions and foot the bill.
In the event of an accident, you are likely to be held responsible. Especially because the Balinese are uninsured and they know you are. Often cars and motorcycles are rented without full insurance (it’s up to you to claim them knowing that they may not cover all the damage caused).
Know also that the rule is that wherever you come from, whatever happened, you go into someone, even if he came from nowhere: you are responsible!
There are few accidents, no more than in Australia, France, US or any other countries in any case, they are however more serious because they often involve motorcycles. We also sometimes find trucks in the ditch – probably after a risky doubling. You will be able to note on the spot, that the cars of the Balinese are less dented than ours, testimony of a more “careful” general conduct and this despite appearances. Be aware, however, that scooter accidents are the number 1 cause of death for tourists in Bali.
Damage to a third party
If you cause damage to a third party, whether bodily injury in the case of an accident, for example, or property damage, your civil liability may be incurred. The costs to be reimbursed can in extreme cases amount to several million Euros or Dollars. Travel insurance therefore has ceilings high enough to cover significant damage.
It should also be noted that travel insurance includes reimbursement of search and rescue costs which can be significant if a boat or a helicopter are mobilized.

Bali or Lombok? Which Indonesian Island Should You Choose?
Bali or Lombok? Many travelers planning a trip to Indonesia wonder whether these two neighboring islands are similar. After all, Bali and Lombok are located side by side in the Indonesian archipelago. However, once you visit them, you quickly realize that Bali and Lombok offer very different travel experiences.
Choosing between Bali or Lombok depends on what kind of holiday you are looking for: tropical beaches, surfing, volcano trekking, yoga retreats, diving, luxury villas, local culture, rice terraces, or authentic island life.
Bali is undoubtedly the most famous island in Indonesia. Nicknamed “The Island of the Gods”, Bali is renowned worldwide for its spirituality, temples, wellness retreats, luxury villas, beach clubs, surfing, and iconic rice terraces. Although Bali is one of Indonesia’s smaller islands, it is home to approximately 3.8 million inhabitants and attracts millions of international visitors every year.
Travelers visiting Bali discover vibrant destinations such as Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Amed, Sidemen, and Nusa Dua. Bali is also famous for its Hindu culture, traditional ceremonies, jungle waterfalls, volcanoes, and luxury accommodations.
Lombok, located east of Bali, is often described as a more peaceful and authentic alternative. Lombok means “chili” in Indonesian. The island has around 3.2 million inhabitants and is dominated by spectacular volcanic landscapes, especially Mount Rinjani, Indonesia’s second-highest volcano.
Unlike Bali, Lombok remains less developed for tourism, making it ideal for travelers looking for untouched beaches, authentic villages, crystal-clear waters, surfing spots, waterfalls, and nature adventures away from mass tourism.
Today, many travelers combine Bali and Lombok during the same Indonesia itinerary to experience the best of both islands.
What are the similarities between Bali and Lombok?
Although Bali and Lombok are very different islands, they also share many similarities. Both islands offer incredible tropical scenery, warm hospitality, beautiful beaches, traditional culture, and unforgettable travel experiences.

Adventure travelers can hike Mount Batur at sunrise, one of the most popular volcano treks in Indonesia. Bali also offers hiking around Mount Batukaru and the central mountain region.
The northern and central parts of Bali are greener and less crowded than the south, making them perfect for nature lovers and photographers.
Lombok landscapes
Lombok is more rugged and wild than Bali. The island is dominated by dramatic volcanic scenery and untouched beaches.
Bali is one of the world’s most famous surfing destinations. Beginners often choose Seminyak or Canggu, while experienced surfers head to Uluwatu or Padang Padang.
Amed and Tulamben are also among the best snorkeling and diving spots in Bali.
Bali is better for nightlife, restaurants, wellness retreats, surfing schools and luxury villas, while Lombok is better for quieter beaches, volcano trekking and authentic local culture.
Which island has the best beaches: Bali or Lombok?
Lombok and the nearby Gili Islands are often considered to have more natural and less crowded beaches, while Bali offers more beach clubs and tourism infrastructure.

Earthquake followed by Tsunami
Bali is located in a seismically active region, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. However, earthquakes can sometimes trigger tsunamis, which can be extremely dangerous. Here are some essential safety instructions for Bali in case of an earthquake followed by a tsunami:
Tsunami safety instructions for Bali
A tsunami is a large wave caused by an earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. Tsunamis can travel at speeds of up to 500 miles or 804 km per hour and can cause widespread damage.
The PUSDALOP system is linked to a tsunami early warning system. It has sirens and loudspeakers distributed in risk areas.
You will find below the instructions to follow in the event of a tsunami.
Evacuation procedure in case of earthquake
Be aware of the signs of an earthquake, such as shaking, rumbling, or a sudden drop or rise in the ground. If you feel an earthquake, immediately drop, cover, and hold on.
1- If you feel an earthquake protect yourself:
do not panic
drop to the ground and cover / hide under a table
2- After an earthquake, be aware that a tsunami may follow:
move away from the beach immediately as a precaution
after a violent and long tremor, do not wait for the alert from the authorities, leave the red zone immediately!
listen to announcements from local authorities and the radio to keep you informed. watch the siren
3- The triggering of the siren is the evacuation alert signal:
when the siren sounds, immediately evacuate the red zone or seek refuge in high buildings (reinforced concrete building from the 3rd floor)
if you are in the yellow zone, seek refuge on the higher floors
if you are in a hotel, follow the instructions of the staff
After the 1st tsunami, other waves may follow
Wait for the all-clear signal from the authorities before leaving your shelter.
Safety Instructions for Tsunamis:
If you are in a coastal area, evacuate to high ground immediately when a tsunami warning is issued. Do not wait to see the wave.
If you cannot evacuate to high ground, go to the nearest sturdy building and stay away from windows.
Do not return to low-lying areas until you have been told that it is safe to do so.
Stay Informed and follow local news, radio, or official social media for updates and instructions.
Safety Instructions for Bali Natural Disasters incase of Tsunami
The areas in Bali that are most at risk of tsunamis are the coastal areas, particularly those along the southern and eastern coasts of the island. These areas include popular tourist destinations such as Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Candidasa.
Bali is located in an earthquake-prone region, which means that it is also at risk of tsunamis.
In case of a tsunami, it is important to follow these safety instructions:
Stay informed: Listen to local news and weather reports for updates on potential tsunamis.
Move to higher ground: If you are in a coastal area, move to higher ground immediately when a tsunami warning is issued. Follow instructions from local authorities and evacuate to a safe location as soon as possible.
Avoid low-lying areas: Do not go to low-lying areas or beaches to watch the tsunami. Tsunamis are very dangerous and can cause significant damage and loss of life.
Do not use elevators: Avoid using elevators during a tsunami warning, as they may stop working or become overloaded.
Have an emergency kit: Prepare an emergency kit with essential items such as food, water, medicine, first aid supplies, flashlights, and batteries. Keep this kit in a safe and easily accessible place.
Stay away from the coast: Do not return to the coast until the authorities have declared it safe to do so. Even after the initial tsunami wave has passed, there may be dangerous currents and debris in the water.
Follow instructions from authorities: Follow the instructions of local authorities and emergency services. If you are unsure about what to do, seek advice from the authorities or locals.
Overall, it is important to take a tsunami warning seriously and follow safety instructions to protect yourself and others. Stay informed, move to higher ground, avoid low-lying areas, have an emergency kit, and follow instructions from local authorities.
WHAT BEHAVIOR TO ADOPT IN THE EVENT OF NATURAL DISASTERS IN BALI?
There are simple precautions to apply in the event of natural disasters.
Earthquake
An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the earth’s surface caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse, roads to crack, and landslides to occur.
If it is an earthquake, you must not go out under any circumstances. Then, be sure to protect yourself from falling objects, by hiding under a table, for example. Stay in a solid and safe place. If you are outdoors, stay away from buildings, trees, or power lines. By car, it is best to stop on the side of the road and protect yourself under a porch.
If you are indoors, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops.
Stay away from windows, glass, and heavy objects that could fall and cause injury.
If you are outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
If you are driving, stop the car in a safe area away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
After the earthquake, be prepared for aftershocks and check for injuries.
Tsunami
In the case of a tsunami, it is possible to anticipate the disaster thanks to security alerts, but also by studying the water level. In general, the sea seems to be receding and the beach seems to have lengthened. Then, an impressive rumble is heard in the distance. This is the signal that you need to get as far away from the coast as possible. Join the inner lands and wait for all the waves to pass.
If you are near the coast and you feel an earthquake, move quickly to higher ground or inland.
If you are on the beach, move to higher ground immediately.
Listen to local news and follow instructions from authorities.
Do not return to the beach until you have been given the all-clear.
Mountain eruption
A mountain eruption is the expulsion of hot ash, gases, and rocks from a volcano. Mountain eruptions can cause ashfall, lava flows, and mudflows.
The essential rules in the event of a volcanic eruption:
Follow official instructions: Listen to local news and follow instructions from authorities. Stay
informed about the latest developments and safety instructions.
Evacuate if advised: If authorities advise you to evacuate, do so immediately and follow the designated evacuation routes. Don’t hesitate, and take only what you need.
Protect yourself from ashfall: Wear a mask or a wet cloth over your nose and mouth to protect yourself from ashfall, which can cause respiratory problems. Protect your eyes with goggles or glasses.
Stay indoors if possible: If you are unable to evacuate, stay indoors and close all windows and doors to prevent ash and smoke from entering. Turn off air conditioning and ventilation systems to prevent ash from entering the building.
Avoid driving: If you are driving, stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and turn off the engine. Avoid driving in areas with heavy ashfall or near the eruption site.
Be prepared for aftershocks: Be prepared for aftershocks, which can occur after a volcanic eruption.
Stay away from areas near the volcano, as they may be unstable.
Prepare for emergency situations: Have an emergency kit prepared that includes important documents, medications, food, water, and other supplies that may be needed in case of a natural disaster.
Overall, it is important to take the necessary precautions and follow safety instructions to ensure your safety in case of a mountain eruption.
A storm is a strong wind that can cause damage to buildings and trees. Storms can also bring heavy rain, which can cause flooding.
When thunder rumbles, rain pours down and lightning rips through the sky, many people have the instinct to run for safety. These behaviors increase the risk of being electrocuted. It is therefore necessary to “walk slowly, dragging your feet on the ground”. In the absence of shelter, it is advisable to squat rather than stand and if possible on an insulating material. The best is still to stay at home.
In case of a storm, it is important to take appropriate safety measures and follow safety instructions to protect yourself and others.
Here are some guidelines on what behavior to adopt in the event of a storm:
Stay indoors: If possible, stay indoors until the storm has passed. Find a safe room in your home or building, preferably without windows or with secure shutters.
Avoid outdoor activities: Avoid outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, or camping during a storm. If you are outside and cannot find shelter, move away from trees, power lines, and other structures that could fall during the storm.
Avoid using electrical equipment: Avoid using electrical equipment, such as phones, computers, or appliances during the storm. Unplug appliances and avoid touching electrical outlets or equipment, as lightning can travel through electrical wires.
Stay informed: Listen to local news and weather reports for updates on the storm’s progress and safety instructions. Follow instructions from authorities, and be prepared to evacuate if necessary.
Prepare for power outages: Have a flashlight, batteries, and other emergency supplies on hand in case of a power outage. Avoid using candles as they can be a fire hazard.
Secure outdoor objects: Secure outdoor objects such as patio furniture, potted plants, and trash cans to prevent them from being blown away by strong winds.
Stay away from floodwaters: Do not attempt to walk or drive through floodwaters, as they can be deeper than they appear and contain hidden hazards.
Overall, it is important to take appropriate safety measures and follow safety instructions to protect yourself and others during a storm. Stay informed and be prepared for power outages, flooding, and other potential hazards associated with storms.
Flood
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is normally dry. Floods can cause damage to property, loss of life, and disruption to transportation and utilities.
In case of a flood, it is important to take appropriate safety measures and follow safety instructions to protect yourself and others.
Here are some guidelines on what behavior to adopt in the event of a flood:
Evacuate if necessary: If authorities advise you to evacuate, do so immediately and follow the designated evacuation routes. Don’t hesitate, and take only what you need.
Avoid floodwaters: Do not attempt to walk or drive through floodwaters, as they can be deeper than they appear and contain hidden hazards. Stay away from flood-prone areas and avoid walking or driving near rivers and streams.
Listen to local news: Stay informed about the latest developments and safety instructions. Listen to local news and weather reports for updates on the flood’s progress and safety instructions.
Turn off electricity and gas: Turn off electricity and gas at the main switch or valve before leaving the property, if you have time and it is safe to do so.
Be prepared for power outages: Have a flashlight, batteries, and other emergency supplies on hand in case of a power outage.
Avoid contact with floodwater: Floodwater may contain sewage, chemicals, and other hazardous substances. Avoid contact with floodwater and if you come into contact with it, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and clean water.
Move to higher ground: If you are unable to evacuate, move to higher ground and stay indoors until the floodwaters recede.
Overall, it is important to take appropriate safety measures and follow safety instructions to protect yourself and others during a flood. Stay informed and be prepared for power outages, evacuation, and other potential hazards associated with floods.
Make sure you have a first-aid kit and other emergency supplies.

At Villa Carissa, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve. We regularly make donations to associations serving disadvantaged communities. We extend our support to local organizations that focus on social welfare, healthcare, and empowering marginalized groups. Through partnerships and donations, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in need.
By making small efforts towards sustainability, we’re not exaggerating our impact, but rather, recognizing the collective power of individual actions. When each guest at Villa Carissa chooses to support local businesses, use energy-efficient amenities, and engage in eco-friendly practices, it adds up to a significant positive effect on the environment.
Moreover, when this ethos is adopted by a broader community, it amplifies our ability to make a meaningful difference. In this way, every conscious choice, no matter how small, contributes to a healthier planet and a brighter future for all.
The Sustainability and CSR policies were initially issued on 21st December 2018, in compliance with Indonesian law, and we will update them accordingly as needed.
