One-way is hard!
There are hundreds of motorcycle rental businesses in Indonesia, but few will let your rent the motorcycle one-way. The majority will not let you take the motorcycle off Bali. Getting the bike back home again takes a lot of organisation! Moto Indo was the first business to offer long distance one-way rental in Indonesia. The concept and some of our routes have been adopted by other businesses, but none offer the same extensive coverage.

What about the luggage?
Rental bikes are usually “naked”, except some scooters that come equipped with a surfboard rack. Rent from Moto Indo, and you will get strong and versatile custom-designed luggage racks (we have the manufactured to our design). Just bring your backpack and suitcase, straight from the airport with no repacking needed.

I’ll just freight my own bike!
To ship the bike sub-container is USD $2,000 – $3,000 return. And you need a carne (which costs $$$). Then wait about 2 months for shipping. Air freight is about the same cost but has harsh rules about storage after arrival, despite providing a very loose arrival window. Shipping via East Timor and Darwin might be cheaper if you can share a container, but 3 weeks inbound to Australia and 5 weeks outbound is a showstopper for most riders (combined with variable and unreliable departures).

I’ll just buy my own bike
In some countries that is straightforward. In Indonesia, you cannot buy a new bike unless you are a citizen. You can buy a second hand bike, but you will not be the legal owner of it. Third-party personal insurance is included in Indonesian bike registration but if your are not the legal owner, your prospects for claiming on the government-sponsored scheme are doubtful. You will waste time finding a bike and it won’t have a bike set up for touring. You will have to sell for a big discount if you ride to a different province (registration is specific to a province).

Your time is precious
If you are travelling during annual leave, you probably don’t want to turn around and ride the same route, just to return your bike? You  want to turn up and ride, right? Then just leave? Now you can!

How much is it?
Rates start become cheaper for long rentals and in the third week scan be $5 per day for a Honda Vario 125. Rates for shorter rental and other types of bikes are higher, but inexpensive considering you can ride anywhere in Indonesia. Weekly and monthly rates provide great value and unrivalled opportunity for adventure riding without the dram of shipping your own bikes.
