Renting a scooter for 70,000 Rp/day provides a quick and cost-effective way to explore Bali, allowing you to avoid most traffic jams.
Police Checks Police checks are a common occurrence, especially in tourist areas. Stay calm, smile, and avoid confrontation. Fines are frequently issued, and a small bribe (50,000-100,000 Rp) can often resolve issues. Make sure you have:
- Helmet (must be worn)
- International driving permit
- Vehicle registration
- Driving license
- Keep a steady direction and avoid sudden lane changes.
Important: The international driving permit must be applied for in person, with a high fee depending on the officer. The A1 permit covers only up to 50cc scooters, which could create problems if Bali’s larger scooters are used. This may affect your insurance coverage in case of an accident. Ensure your A1 category is stamped at the issuing office.
