Renting a scooter in Bali requires a motorcycle license and solid insurance. Scooters here are larger than typical mopeds in many Western countries, so a basic moped license may not be sufficient.

If you're not a very experienced rider, it's strongly advised to avoid riding any scooter or motorbike in Bali — local traffic conditions demand real riding experience.
A safe alternative to renting a scooter is using Gojek or Grab apps, which cover all of Bali. Rides typically cost $1–4 with no license or insurance needed.
