Bali is expensive, do not kid yourself because you have seen 1 price that is cheap. Electric is a massive cost compared to local wage as is petrol.Originally Posted by odez999
Yes it is correct, a Vario w/ insurance and 400 hundred a month and its a great motorbike. The guys name is Wayan at Mutia Rentals..
If your just short term you can rent from Edys Car Rental on Benesari for 20k a day w/ insurance - speak to Made
I can see that maths here is not a big deal - 400,000 IDR is actually $47.00 at today's rate... duuuuhh. Still so cheap?
You're correct Markit, Rp400.000 is about US$47 per month which is about US$1.56 per day, so odez999's calculation is not so far off. (I'm assuming that odez999's "1.6 USD" means US$1.60)
People in glass houses and all that...???
Compared to Oz, that's about $44 per month and yes it's very very very cheap.
What's the going monthly rate then for a low kms scooter including insurance that is so much cheaper?
not cheap - not expensive, just the normal price wich one would pay for a monthly scooty rental...
the amazing part is (imho) they give you the complete original STNK, so you can take it out of Bali...
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
I tried to rent on Mutia Rentals but was told that monthly rental is 600k !!! :(
anyone know any other cheap monthly rentals wich include insurance ?
BTW ..
ATM I am in Gelogor Carik (In between Kuta and Denpasar) and I like that warung food is so cheap and affordable !
Did you speak to Wayan?? I wouldnt be so fanatical about insurance. You break or have the bike stolen and its likely you will have to just buy a new bike.
Go back to wayan and say people you know rent varios every month for 400,000 idr a month.. Bali is a nego island.. Im not too sure because I only ever used Wayan and as gilbert says it was great that I was able to take the bike out of Bali.. No body else has let me do that and one person who said we could go to Java with there car ended the conversation with Hati Hati This is Laskar car.. so Ive not tried that again.
The bike that is 600,00 IDR is the charcoal vario with under 2000kms on the clock.. its BRAND new
Original post.....where do you live and why?
My place is in Pekutatan in West Bali after living in Penestanan and Mas (near Ubud). Everyone has their own preferences, but I like being on the beach and away from heavy traffic and Balinese that have become a bit jaded with the proximity of so many tourists, as is sometimes the case in the South. Here the people are genuinely friendly, but not intrusive, costs are less, great scenery and cooler temperatures ( no AC in my bedroom). The downside is a 2 hour drive for provisions other than the basics. But even that is becoming more acceptable if your drives are timed to avoid heavy truck traffic, and the change of scenery more of an excursion. Good luck!
Yes I spoke with wayan ! He said its 600k ! (probobly did not had any used one ATM) And I said that I was pointed to him by people who rented for 400k there .. but he smiled and said its 600k .. And I said what is the price on low season .. he said like 500k ! I said .. OK THX and left !
I know maybe he was renting at 400k before . .but he decided he could catch 600k these days I guess .. so he decided to go for that !
Later I found used Yamaha Mio for 500k in Legian and thats was it !
Hmmm sounds like hes playing games with you.. He does still rent them at 400 so Im not sure why hes not doing it.. Maybe because your not local/have a local with you??? I have no idea! sorry
