Best motorcycle rentals in Bali in 2024 with photos and prices. How much does it cost to rent scooters in Bali, my ranking of the TOP motorcycle rental companies on the island where you can rent beautiful, custom scooters and powerful motorcycles. And what you need to know if you are going to rent motorcycles in Bali.
I will tell you whether there is insurance for motorcycles, whether they give helmets, additional trunks, where you can take custom and brightly colored scooters, where you can rent enduros, sport bikes, street bikes, where you can take powerful motorcycles, which scooters are the most popular, which ones are for girls, which ones are for guys, which ones are for beginners, and which ones are suitable for long journeys.
Which scooters can fit a helmet in the trunk, and about how new helmets are expendable here if left unattended. Whether you need a driver's license, whether you're often stopped by the police. And safety precautions when driving motorcycles in Bali.
What you need to know when renting a motorcycle and scooter in Bali
- Driver's license - by law you need one, rentals mostly only find out about your experience. But if you don't violate, you can very rarely be stopped by police and ticketed, so there are a lot of drivers without license on the road here. In Bali you can get a local license in 1 day, it will not add to your experience, but your insurance company will pay for your treatment if you have coverage for driving a bike, because it is valid only if you have a license.
- Life insurance when driving a motorcycle is a must, because on the road not everything depends on you, and the traffic here is very chaotic and there are a lot of those who do not follow the rules of the road and those who can get drunk behind the wheel, both locals and foreigners. I can't think of a friend who hasn't had a bike accident, and there's a post about someone collecting for treatment after a motorcycle accident almost every month. Do it for your peace of mind and your loved ones.
- I and my friends, who are not in BALI for the first time, use insurance from GENKI, which includes driving on a bike and costs only from 39 euros per month, and unlimited coverage for accidents.
- Your experience - I, recommend getting full training in your home country, as I did after my first serious fall, but the minimum is to take a couple lessons from local instructors to correct your basic mistakes. Especially for girls, who have a harder time dealing with stress on the road, which can affect your decision making in traffic situations.
- Bike insurance - it is available only to those rentals who insure it with their own wallet, so the cost will be more expensive, in other cases, all responsibility for the motorcycle on you, the most popular scooters prices on the market from 1 000 - 4 000 $.
- Police - usually it is only at static posts, and they stop you if you ride without a helmet, and violate. There are very rare times when they stop everyone, haven't seen that since 2019.
- Helmet - full face only, for your safety, please take it, yes stuffy, yes less comfortable, yes you can't put anything in your mouth in it, but it will protect your lower skull, unlike halves.
- ABS - I recommend taking scooters and motorcycles with ABS, will give more safety when braking hard and on slippery surfaces. They are a little more expensive, but it's worth paying for.
- Theft - always lock your scooter, do not leave your helmet unattended from constantly stealing, and do not sit on your phone when you are driving or a passenger, or do it beforehand looking around the space, they are constantly ripped out of your hands, my friend was ripped out just even when he was walking.
Popular scooters and motorcycles in Bali
Yamaha NMAX, Honda PSX, Honda ADV.
These scooters of the same size and price category and power from 150-180 cubes, they love to take and guys and girls who already feel confident behind the wheel, because at first it may seem heavy to them. Also on these scooters feel comfortable couples. The trunk can hold one full face helmet or two open helmets.
Personally, I like the Nmax for its great maneuverability, the Honda PSX because it is as light as possible, I see girls on it most often, and the Honda ADV for its high stance, and wheels with a large radius, which makes it feel less bumps on the road.
Cost: IDR 1,500,000 - 2,500,000.
Yamaha XMAX
This scooter is larger in size, it has a larger trunk and power of 250-300 cc depending on the year, it is better to gain speed from 50 km / h, that is more comfortable, and more confidently holds the road at high speeds of 80-120 km / h, the cost is 2 times higher than the bikes in the first block. It has more space as a driver, and your girlfriend as a passenger, feels like a queen, from the comfort she gets relatively smaller scooters.
But it is also heavier and at low speeds in traffic you spend more energy on maneuvering and holding it when parking.
Cost: IDR 3,000,000 - 5,000,000.
What are the best scooters to rent in Bali
Highlights:
- Your experience/your height and physical condition - without experience, take lighter scooters and low-powered scooters to feel the motion, your nervousness behind the wheel, maneuvering. Your height determines how comfortable you will be when you get on the bike to reach your feet to the ground. And from your physical condition, how hard it will be for you at low speeds to control scooters, especially in traffic jams and parking. For girls it's better to take Honda Scoopy, Vario. For guys - Nmax, it is the lightest or PSX - because it is a lower seat and the weight differs by 3 kg.
- For two people - start with NMAX, PSX, ADV - so that you have enough space when boarding, and in the trunk you can fit helmets, usually 1 full-face or 2 open. For more experienced Yamaha XMAX - huge trunk, you can fit 2 full-face helmets, and a lot of your stuff, for example, you can fit Sony PS5.
- For traveling long distances - Scoopy type scooters are not advised to use, except for moving between neighborhoods, because the bigger the scooter, the more confident you feel at high speeds and can comfortably ride them. And here the priority is the same as in the paragraph above. And on the Yamaha XMAX you have an even bigger gas tank and you can ride more distance on one tank.
- Beautiful scooters for girls - the most popular scooters for girls are Honda Scoopy and PSX.
If I'm traveling short distances, I'll take the Honda PSX because it's the lightest and most comfortable in its dashboard. If I want to ride around the island with a girl, I will take XMAX for its sharpness at speeds and comfort at high speed, and the fact that I will need to put on an extra backpack and everything will fit in the trunk, and on one tank I will go very far. And there's a huge amount of space when you land.
