Labuan Bajo has a growing community of people who came for a week and stayed for a season: dive instructors, freelancers working from cafés with sea views, couples on long sabbaticals, divers doing back-to-back courses. If that's you, a monthly scooter is probably the single best investment you'll make here.
Why rent long-term?
- Lower daily price. The longer you rent, the less you pay per day.
- One bike, no hassle. No re-booking, no new handovers every few days.
- Servicing included. Long rentals get regular check-ups — oil, brakes, tyres.
- Free swaps. If the scooter develops a problem, we bring you another one.
- Delivery to where you live. Villa, kos (monthly room), guesthouse or dive shop.
How much does it cost?
Our standard daily rates start at IDR 90,000 for a Yamaha Mio and IDR 100,000 for a Honda Scoopy. At daily rates, 30 days of a Scoopy would add up to IDR 3,000,000 — but for monthly rentals we quote a significantly lower price.
Long-term rates depend on the scooter, the season and how long you're staying, so we quote them individually on WhatsApp. Send us:
- Your start date and how long you're staying
- Which scooter you'd like (or what you need it for)
- Where you're living
We usually reply within minutes.
Want a scooter for this ride?
Scoopy, NMAX, PCX, ADV and more from IDR 90,000/day — two clean helmets, a raincoat and free delivery to Komodo Airport or your hotel.
Which scooter for a long stay?
Think about your daily routine:
- Commuting around town, one person: Honda BeAT or Yamaha Mio — cheap, light, easy to park.
- Two people or living up a hill: Yamaha NMAX or Honda PCX. The extra power makes daily climbs painless.
- Carrying dive gear or a laptop bag: Honda PCX — its under-seat storage fits a surprising amount.
- Weekend adventures to Ruteng and beyond: Honda ADV 160.
Tips for living in Labuan Bajo with a scooter
Paperwork
Long stays don't change the licence rules — you still need your home motorcycle licence and an International Driving Permit. Keep copies on your phone and the originals somewhere safe. See our IDP guide.
Fuel and maintenance
Fill up at Pertamina stations when you can. Tell us if anything feels off — squeaky brakes, a soft tyre, a strange noise. Small issues are easy to fix early. Our petrol and parking guide has more.
Rainy season
From roughly December to March, afternoon downpours are common. Keep the raincoat under the seat, and read our rainy-season riding tips.
Security
Always lock the steering and take the key. At night, park inside your property's gate if you can. Leave nothing valuable on the scooter.
Being a good neighbour
Ride slowly through residential lanes, don't rev the engine late at night, and say selamat pagi (good morning) — you'll make friends fast.
For dive centres and businesses
If you run a dive shop, hotel or company and need several scooters for staff or guests, we can arrange a fleet with a single monthly invoice from PT. Transbajo Global Investama. Get in touch on WhatsApp.
