Bali Scooter Rental Cost

Before I rented a scooter in Bali, I had done a fair amount of research. I read everywhere that Bali scooter rentals shouldn’t cost more than 50 000 IDR ($3) per day.

So, when I went in search of one to rent, I was expecting to pay just that.

But, this 50 000 IDR is the bottom end of the scale and honestly, you won’t find many good scooters in Bali at this price. The cost is dependent on the model and age of the scooter, as well as where you rent it from.

COSTS FOR SHORT TERM SCOOTER HIRE IN BALI

If you’re looking at a daily rental, expect to pay:

Scoopy or Vario 110cc: 60 000 – 70 000 IDR ($5) p/d
Vario 125cc : 70 000 – 90 000 IDR ($6) p/d
NMax: 150 000 IDR ($10) p/d

These rates are not often negotiable, especially in the popular areas of Bali, such as Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, and Uluwatu. There’s such a high demand for scooter rentals in Bali and the owners know that if you don’t rent theirs, someone else will.

If you’re only looking for a one or two-day rental, it’s really not worth spending your time searching for the cheapest Bali scooter rental. Your efforts may save you 10 000 IDR ($1) in total, but you’ll have wasted such precious time where you could be exploring.

If you’d prefer to have your scooter delivered to your front door, you can order one here.
