How much is a scooter for a month in Bali?

Commonly IDR 1,000,000–1,800,000 for a Vario or Scoopy and IDR 1,600,000–2,500,000 for an NMAX in 2026, before fuel. That is an effective daily cost 50–60% below the daily rate.

Do monthly rentals include delivery?

Usually yes. Most shops deliver and later collect the bike free at your accommodation in the main tourist areas. Airport or far-flung delivery may add a fee.

Do I need a deposit for a monthly rental?

It varies. Some shops take no cash deposit and only photograph your passport; others hold around IDR 500,000, returned on undamaged return. Do not leave the physical passport.

Who pays for servicing and repairs during a month-long rental?

Agree this before you pay. Over a month you will hit an oil-change interval, so confirm whether servicing is included and whether a breakdown gets you a replacement bike rather than a bill.

Do I still need an International Driving Permit for a long rental?

Yes. The licensing rules are the same as for a day: your home motorcycle licence plus an IDP with the motorcycle category (A). Renting monthly does not exempt you from checkpoints.

What is the STNK and why does it matter?

It is the bike’s registration and road-tax document. If its annual tax has lapsed you get fined at checkpoints, not the shop — so check the date, and carry the STNK when you ride.

How does monthly scooter rental in Bali work?

You pay a flat monthly rate — commonly IDR 1,000,000–1,800,000 for a Honda Vario or Scoopy and IDR 1,600,000–2,500,000 for a Yamaha NMAX — usually with free delivery to your accommodation and, at the better shops, no cash deposit. That is roughly half the effective daily rate.

What a month costs (2026)

A month is normally a flat 30-day price, delivered and collected. Typical 2026 rates:

Honda Scoopy (110cc): IDR 900,000–1,500,000/month
Honda Vario (160cc): IDR 1,000,000–1,800,000/month
Yamaha NMAX (155cc): IDR 1,600,000–2,500,000/month
Honda PCX (160cc): IDR 1,800,000–2,500,000/month

Fuel is extra and cheap — a full tank of Pertamax is about IDR 55,000–70,000. Canggu and Uluwatu sit at the top of these ranges; Ubud and Sanur at the bottom.

Deposit, documents and delivery

Monthly deals usually include free delivery and collection at your villa across Canggu, Ubud, Seminyak, Kuta and Sanur. Deposits vary: some shops take a photo of your passport and no cash at all, others hold around IDR 500,000 cash returned when you bring the bike back in the agreed condition. Never leave the physical passport. To ride legally you still need your home motorcycle licence plus an International Driving Permit showing the motorcycle category (A) — a month-long rental does not change the licensing rules or the police checkpoints.

Check the STNK and who services the bike

This is the part long-stayers miss. Every bike has a registration document, the STNK, with an annual road tax stamped on it. If that tax has lapsed, you are the one fined at a checkpoint even though it is the shop’s paperwork — so before you pay, confirm the STNK is in the bike and its tax date is current, and keep it with you when you ride. The second overlooked point is servicing: over a month you will cross an oil-change interval (roughly every 2,000km), and cheap shops hand out bikes already overdue on tyres, brakes and oil. Agree up front who pays for servicing during the term and whether a breakdown gets you a free swap bike, not a repair bill.

What long-stayers should watch for

A bike you will ride for a month deserves more scrutiny than a two-day hire. Before accepting delivery, check:

Tyre tread and brakes — a worn set will not last a heavy month
The STNK is present and its road tax is in date
Whether servicing and oil changes during the month are included or on you
The breakdown policy — do they swap the bike or just fix it, and how fast
Whether paying the full term upfront is cheaper than weekly, and the refund terms if you leave early
That any damage liability is capped rather than open-ended
