Quick answers

  • Many Bali rentals deliver to Ngurah Rai airport. We deliver there for free, and agree the time with you on WhatsApp, including late flights.
  • Bring your passport. A home licence with the motorcycle category and an International Driving Permit aren't required to rent, but we recommend both.
  • A big suitcase doesn't travel well on a scooter. With heavy luggage, take a taxi to your hotel and have the bike delivered there instead.
  • Every foreign visitor pays Bali's Rp150.000 tourist levy, online before you fly or on arrival.

How airport delivery works

  • Book online or on WhatsApp and choose Ngurah Rai airport as the delivery area.
  • Tell us when you land. We agree the handover time with you on WhatsApp, including for late flights.
  • After you land, message us on WhatsApp. We meet you, photograph your passport and hand it back, and give you the bike with two helmets.
  • When the rental ends, we can pick the bike up at the airport too, before your flight out.

Delivery and pickup at the airport are free with us, the same as in Canggu, Seminyak and Kuta. You can book scooter rental at Bali airport online.

What to bring

  • Your passport (we only photograph it).
  • Your home driving licence with the motorcycle category.
  • Recommended: an International Driving Permit, issued in your home country before you fly. We don't require it to rent.
  • A phone with mobile data or an eSIM, so you can message us and use maps.

Luggage: when hotel delivery is the better choice

A backpack or a small cabin bag rides fine between your feet on an NMAX or PCX. A large suitcase doesn't, and riding with one is unsafe. If you're arriving with heavy luggage, take a taxi or a ride-hailing car to your accommodation and have us deliver the bike there instead. Delivery is free in Canggu, Seminyak and Kuta.

Your first ride from the airport

The roads around the airport are some of the busiest in Bali, especially in the afternoon. If you land tired after a long flight, there's no shame in getting the bike delivered to your hotel the next morning. If you ride straight away, set your route before you leave, and read the safety guide first.

Bali's tourist levy

Since February 2024, every foreign visitor entering Bali pays a one-time levy of Rp150.000. You can pay online through the official Love Bali website or app before you travel, or on arrival at the airport, and you get a QR voucher as proof.
