Wondering how to fill your scooter or motorbike with petrol in Bali?
⛽️ It’s easier than you think!
Most gas stations are full service, meaning the attendant does everything for you. If your fuel cap is under your seat, you may need to hop off and open it for them to speed up the process.
Fuel is sold by rupiah (not liters), so just say how much you’d like—20k, 30k, 50k IDR are the most common amounts - or just go with “full”.
You’ll also spot small roadside stalls selling petrol in bottles, perfect if you’re running low between stations.
Getting around Bali by scooter is one of the best ways to explore the island, and filling up is quick, cheap, and simple.

Getting around Bali by scooter is one of the most fun and budget-friendly ways to explore the island—especially for families! But if it’s your first time, you might be wondering: how do you refuel a scooter or motorbike in Bali?
⛽️ Good news—it’s incredibly easy! Most petrol stations in Bali are full service. That means you don’t even need to get your hands dirty. Just pull up, let the attendant know how much fuel you’d like, and they’ll take care of the rest. Common refill amounts are 20,000 IDR, 30,000 IDR, or 50,000 IDR (that's roughly $1.25–$3.25 USD), but you can always just ask for “full.”
If your scooter’s fuel cap is under the seat, you might need to hop off and unlock it so the attendant can fill up faster. It’s all done in moments, and you're back on the road.
Can't find a petrol station nearby? No worries! All across Bali, you’ll see small roadside stalls selling fuel in glass or plastic bottles—usually displayed in crate racks. These are slightly more expensive but super convenient for top-ups when you're exploring rural areas or the beach.
Helpful Tip: Keep some small rupiah bills handy for easy payment, and always check that your fuel gauge is working before setting off.
Whether you're heading to Ubud's rice terraces or a family beach day in Nusa Dua, fueling up is no hassle at all. That means less time worrying and more time enjoying the freedom of two wheels in paradise.
