Can You Take a Rented Motorbike from Bali to Lombok or Java?

You should not take a rented motorbike from Bali to Lombok, Java or another island without written permission from the rental company.

What to Check Before Renting a Scooter or Motorbike in Bali

Before renting a scooter or motorbike in Bali, check the tires, brakes, lights, horn, mirrors, steering, engine sound, fuel level, scratches, registration documents, helmet and rental agreement. Take a clear video before leaving. A five-minute inspection can prevent deposit disputes, breakdowns and unsafe rides.

You may find rental shops in Bali that hand over a scooter without checking your license, but riding without the correct license is risky.
