Bali Motorbike Tour vs Private Driver 2026: Scooter or Car?

Should you book a Bali motorbike tour or a private driver? Sekar Bali Activity sells both. A Bali motorbike tour is a guided 125–160cc automatic scooter day from IDR 450,000 per bike — not Sedang ATV and not a dirt-bike enduro. The Full Day Ubud Tour is a private car priced per person: IDR 600,000 for one guest, 350,000 each for 4+. Attraction tickets are not included on either. An International Driving Permit is recommended if you ride; say pillion if you do not want to drive.

Key Takeaways

  • Motorbike: IDR 450,000–800,000 per scooter · 8–10 hours · ride or pillion
  • Private car: IDR 600,000 (1 guest) · 350,000 each (4+) · ~10 hours · English-speaking driver
  • Tickets and lunch stay on you for both
  • Motorbike pickup is at the area you choose — not the IDR 400,000 ATV surcharge
  • Canggu / Jimbaran / Nusa Dua shuttle: IDR 550,000 once per booking
  • Not Sedang ATV and not a dirt-bike enduro
