Hi there, thank you for the wonderful service that you provide in Bali, I am looking forward to booking your assistance in obtaining a 5 year
License to ride a “sepeda motor” in Indonesia around the end of August.
I was wondering what happens at the Police Station if they ask for a riding demonstration or riding test, do the police supply a Scooter and helmet ?
If not, what is your procedure ?, as I am assuming you pick us up in a car.
Kind Regards
Bali4Ride Admin
Hello Paul

Hi… I am travelling to Bali on this 27th and wish to rent a luxury car for just 12 hours. I have Indian driving license. Can I drive or should I apply for Indonesian license?
Bali4Ride Admin
Hi
As you only need it less than 24hours, we will suggest you to hire car + driver rather than get the Indonesian Driving License which cost more than hire car + driver.
Please note that available driving license is for 5 years validity
Thank you

Hi there, I’m a Malaysia and I’ll be arriving in Bali in a few days. Would like to know how long will the process of getting a license take (1 hr ? 2 hrs?). Would like to get this done as soon as possible.
Will you be able to drive me to police station and drive me back to my hotel ?
Also, I will be visiting bali a few times in the future.
Is the 5 years license .better or 1 year one ? What are the costs of both ?
Bali4Ride Admin
Hi Boon
The licensing process will take 1h.
Yes we will able to do hotel transfer
Currently, only 5 years license is available. If you are planning to do multiple visits to Bali then it’s definitely worth it.
