Scooter rental
Renting a scooter on Bali: we arrange it, and tell you honestly what you need
A scooter is the easiest way to get around on your own for a day on Bali, especially around Ubud, Sidemen or Amed. Dek Leonk arranges one through a regular rental, with good helmets, papers and a full tank. But we tell you honestly what you need, because most rental shops do not.
- Price
- About €5–8 a day, two helmets included. Cheaper for a week or longer.
- Arranged by
- Dek Leonk, through a regular rental
What you need
- A motorcycle licence (category A) from your home country. With only a car licence you may not ride a 125cc scooter on Bali.
- An international driving permit with category A. In the Netherlands you get it from the ANWB, in Belgium from your municipality.
- The registration papers (STNK) of the scooter. You get them from the rental.
- A helmet, for you and your passenger. Compulsory, and sensible.
Why this matters
The police do check, especially in Canggu, Seminyak, Uluwatu and around Ubud. Without the right papers you pay a fine of IDR 300,000 to 500,000 per missing document. More important: without a valid licence your travel insurance often does not pay out after an accident. A hospital bill on Bali can run into thousands of euros.
Not sure?
Then Dek Leonk drives. Or he drops you off somewhere you can cycle for a few hours; around Ubud and Sidemen there are lovely cycling routes, also by e-bike.

Often asked
Can I rent a scooter?
Yes, with a motorcycle licence and an international driving permit with category A. Without those papers your insurance often covers nothing.
