Way to go
Motorcycling in Indonesia An International Driving Permit (theaa.com) is required for Indonesia. Bike hire in Bali can cost as little as 25,000 (around £1.75) rupiah a day, or £35 a month, from street touts or hire agencies: damage to the vehicle is the driver's responsibility. Most hire companies will not supply the paperwork required to take the bikes off the island, but a decent second-hand bike can cost around £450: resale is simple, but western-style vehicle insurance does not exist.
