One of the most popular ways to get around Bali is by hopping on a moped or motorcycle. Why? Travelling this way across the Indonesian island can be fun, efficient, and budget-friendly.

If you plan to scoot around Bali on a moped or motorcycle, it’s important to consider including adequate cover in your travel insurance policy.

Our international travel insurance plans don’t automatically cover moped or motorcycle riding – but you can include our Motorcycle/Moped Riding Cover in your policy on all plans if you meet the cover criteria for an additional premium.

We provide two levels of cover for riding moped or motorcycles during your Bali holiday:

1. Motorcycle/Moped Riding Cover: for engine capacity 250cc or less
2. Motorcycle/Moped Riding+ Cover: engine capacity unlimited (conditions apply)

Both levels of our Motorcycle/Moped Riding Cover can provide cover for you if you plan on driving or being a passenger, and you must include this optional cover in your policy for cover to apply.

For more information on our moped cover and how it may be suitable for your trip to Bali, visit our Motorcycle/Moped Riding Cover page for more details. This includes several terms, conditions and exclusions that apply to our Motorcycle/Moped Riding Cover, which you must be aware of before purchasing our travel insurance. For full details on our conditions of coverage, see the PDS.

Unfortunately, terrorist attacks can – and do – occur.

The Australian Government recommends you exercise a high degree of caution in Indonesia because of the threat of terrorist attacks, so it is important to consider this when researching the best travel insurance for your Bali trip.

It’s also important to pay attention to Bali travel alerts from your travel insurance provider before and during your trip should a terrorism incident occur in Indonesia.

All our Cover-More travel insurance plans provide cover for emergency overseas medical expenses and additional expenses if you are a victim of a terrorist attack.

For full details on how our Cover-More travel insurance can provide cover for acts of terrorism, please read the PDS.
