I'm breaking down for you how to legally ride a motorbike in Bali and what to be aware of during the rental process. A scooter is the best way to get around and explore Bali as taxis can be expensive and require negotiation on pricing. Ride hailing apps like Grab and GoJek don't work in every neighborhood and operate in a shady area of legality.
Renting a scooter is going to cost more in Canggu than in Ubud and daily prices are more expensive than weekly or monthly prices. After two weeks, the monthly price is better than the daily price, so consider renting for the period of a month if you're staying longer than two weeks.
Normal pricing:
Honda Scoopy: 50K per day / 600 or 700K per month
Honda Vario 115: 60K per day / 700K per month
Honda Vario 125/135: 70K per day / 750K per month (Ubud) or 1M-1.2M per month (Canggu)
Honda NMax: 1.5-1.8M per month

The chief concern with not having an IDP with a motorcycle endorsement isn't getting stopped. The chief concern is that you’re completely uninsured while riding if you don’t have it, because any injuries are the result of what is technically illegal activity. DO NOT drive uninsured. Riding as a passenger via the grab app is the only insured way as the company itself provides insurance for riders. I’m back in the states and in the middle of my motorcycle course which is actually a boat load of work, but it’ll be worth it if I ever need it. Excellent videos BTW, just wanted to clear up that one point.

Yep that’s true too. My motorcycle course was super easy, two days in Florida and done

Goodday sir, I'm trying to start a rental motorbike but with the avenger cruise 220 from Kawasaki/Bajaj here in Philippines. I just want to ask from a tourist's experience and perspective, should I go with small cruisers? or stick with the scooters?

I have full licenece but only covers 50cc scooter if get ids will I be all right passing threw checks off cops on 125cc scooters will they check ids ..

@valentinventures 4 года назад

I’m gonna say Vietnam is way worse than Bali for scootering, but yea lately it’s been getting pretty crazy. Impatient locals trying to rip past tourists, impatient tourists trying to rip past locals, especially around the busy tourist areas during rush hour, it gets a tad sketchy

@nawasnychzasadach 3 года назад

Right now gojek is so convenient. I pay many times 1k for 10 min ride because of promotion. But of course to rent is better for longer time

@RideInBali Год назад

Very helpful, thank you, watching this in 2023 preparing for April Bali trip. What I'd find very helpful too is if you have any insights (or could recommend another good video?) where the insurance on those rental bikes is explained? Is all of that included in the rental? AND if you have a preferred place in Canggu to deal with bike rental, please let me know too! 🙏🙏

@ChatGayPT Год назад

There’s no such thing as insurance on motorbikes in bali

@RideInBali Год назад

@@ChatGayPT thank you for your reply! Do you think an international drivers permit + Australian learners motorbike license + full car license would be enough to stay out of the trouble with their police?

@zippidydoodaazippidypap2818 4 года назад

Go into your local motorcycle training (home country or there?) and add that on your license (home country or there?) then go to you triple A (what’s a triple A?) In Ubuud for 750 k rupiah per month you might find a Honda 125/135 cc which is cheaper than in Changu) It’s legal to wear a helmet but wear a hat underneath unless you’re gonna buy one. Don’t go to family rental and always check Google ratings (there’s was 2.1) Cheers! (Still great but any help with questions anyone?) Cheers x

@chrisgee8504 4 года назад

If you have an ASEAN licence (Philippines, Thai etc) you can also ride legally without an International Driving Permit. There is an agreement between the ASEAN countries to accept each others licences. Of course you need to have a licence endorsed for motorcycles.

@honeyrichalipio3469 4 года назад

Is this true?

@itsclarencetong Год назад

@@honeyrichalipio3469 I know this comment was from 2 years ago but yes this is true. I am Malaysian and was stopped once in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The police immediately said that Malaysia is part of ASEAN so I was free to go since I had my Malaysian driving license with me.

@mattmann8923 4 года назад

IDP is required if you have a crash otherwise your travel insurance will wipe you...Be warned. Dont ride a bike without one.

@terrycuthbert3476 Год назад

'If your travelling in bali for 1 or 2 week don't bother'. Why don't you just do the right thing it's not hard

@samuelbailey1888 2 года назад

Bali Bluebird Taxis are the best, no ripping off! Check the logo carefully, as the others try to copy it. - With Electric Scooters you don't need registration or a licence to ride, at present.

Try riding a motorbike in Jakarta, insane. Ppl do not even look before turning left , they look sometimes turning right for incoming traffic, Insanity. They have no concept of basic safety there. They all drive by experience and pure instinct, not trained properly in safety or any-kind of regulations. Bali, Vietnam , Malaysia was so easy to drive for me bc it’s nothing like Jakarta. Most of my foreign friends could not ride a motorbike in Jakarta bc has 4th worst traffic in the world, and too scared to even try after one day. Btw, do not visit Jakarta, worst southeast asian city. Pollution , mosquitos, 10k mosques screaming 5-10 times at every corner of any neighbourhoods or areas. Bali is the best place for foreigners bc mostly Hindu there and no crazy chants or demonstrations like Jakarta. I heard Bandung or Bogor is okay though.
