Hi all, looking to come up for a month, probably December this year or Feb / March of next.Looking to do a bit of a circumnavigation around the island, staying at budget Air BnB or Losmans.Also wondering if ZI should get a scooter or just rely on Grab ?Anyways...Can't access any of the previous threads that discuss current regs about hiring moped/scooters.Also, health insuranceAny pointers will be very much appreciated[/QUOTE]As long as you have the appropriate endorsement for motorbike( not 50cc scooter) on your international drivers license and use a travel insurer that covers use of motorbike I would say go for it. I think finding Grab or a Gojek in some of the back blocks of Bali may be a little tricky.Maybe post on here and some of the facebook forums for a travel buddy. There are always people doing a similar thing.CheersKen

I was able to open old sticky posts in the thread I checked. Other posts still result in "Sum Ting Wong"

Not infrequently we see families crowd funding to try and get enough money to cover hospital costs and return to country of origin.

Stupid people doing stupid things.I don't care if it wasn't their fault and someone else hit them. If they hadn't been driving the scooter in the first place it would not have happened.CheersGrumpy Ken
