Do you need an International Driving Permit for a Bali motorbike tour? If you ride the scooter yourself, Sekar Bali Activity recommends an IDP that covers motorcycles, plus your home license. If you do not want to drive Bali traffic, say pillion and sit behind a driver. The Bali motorbike tour is a guided 125–160cc automatic day from IDR 450,000 per bike. We are not the police and we do not issue permits. WhatsApp — no payment to inquire.

Key Takeaways

Ride: IDP recommended · automatic 125–160cc · public roads

Pillion: no throttle · still a full sightseeing day

Promo from IDR 450,000 / scooter · tickets extra

This is not a dirt-bike license day and not Sedang ATV

We will not tell you an IDP is “optional with zero risk”

Ride vs pillion

	You ride	You go pillion
Who steers	You, behind the guide	A driver; you are the passenger
IDP	Recommended	Not required to sit
Best for	Guests already comfortable in traffic	First week in Bali, no motorcycle license
Price	Same scooter promo	Same scooter promo

Bali traffic is not a closed track. An IDP does not make the roads safe. It is the document many rental checks and roadside stops ask for. Bring the physical card if you have one. We do not store a scan as a booking requirement.

Kuta scooter shops that advertise from USD 32 often skip this paragraph. We keep it on the money page because guests from Japan, Korea, China, and the Middle East ask in English: origin-market booking.

What this tour is not

Not a Kintamani dirt bike — that needs clutch time, from IDR 1,850,000
Not Sedang ATV — four wheels, briefing, no street IDP
Not the private Ubud car (IDR 600,000 for one guest, 350,000 each for 4+) if you want a driver and air-con

Compare machines: scooter vs ATV · motorbike vs dirt bike.
