Travel insurance and Bali scooter rental. Two covers, know which is which.
There are two completely different insurances in play when you rent a scooter in Bali, and confusing them is how people end up with five-figure hospital bills. One covers the bike. The other covers you.
The bike: our rental insurance is included with every Overrun rental — damage capped at IDR 500K excess (IDR 1M on the XMAX 250 and X-ADV 750), theft at IDR 1M. That's the bike's problem handled. You: your own travel insurance covers your body — and nearly every policy attaches conditions to motorcycle riding: a valid motorcycle licence from home, an IDP, a helmet on, no alcohol. Miss one and many insurers can decline a scooter-accident claim entirely.

What to check in your policy before you fly
Open your travel insurance PDS and search “motorcycle” or “moped”. You're looking for: whether riding is covered at all, any engine-size cap (some policies cap at 125cc or 200cc — relevant if you're eyeing the XMAX 250, and decisive on the 745cc X-ADV 750, which sits outside most standard policy caps), and the licence condition wording. If riding isn't covered, most major insurers sell it as an add-on for a few dollars a day. This is general guidance, not insurance advice — the policy wording is the only thing that counts, so read yours.
This is also exactly why we insist on the licence + IDP check at handover. It isn't gatekeeping — it's the difference between your insurer paying a claim and not.
