Without the required licence, the safer option is specifically a scooter of 50cc or less, which travelers say does not require a licence. For larger scooters, rental shops often refuse and roadside fines are reportedly common.

Do not rely on a 125cc scooter being registered as a 50cc model: this was only raised as an unconfirmed possibility, not a verified rental option. Travelers without an IDP should look for a genuine 50cc-or-less scooter.
