4 Types of Car Rental Services Available in Indonesia
Car rental services in Indonesia come as daily, shuttle, monthly and long-term hire. See how each works, with or without a driver, and who it suits best.
Car rental is hugely popular in Indonesia, whether for business trips, family holidays or other needs. For Jakarta residents especially, car rental services in Jakarta are now easy to find, each offering its own advantages. The types of service offered by car rental companies are as follows.
- Daily Car Rental
This car rental service is by the day. The minimum period set by rental companies in big cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Jogja, Medan and Bandung is usually six hours. With daily rental, you can use a driver provided directly by the company or choose a self-drive option (lepas kunci, literally "key release") if it is available.
If you use a driver from the rental company, the company bears full responsibility for any damage. If you choose the self-drive option, full responsibility falls on the renter. So it is worth thinking carefully about the type of vehicle and the number of passengers, to avoid unwanted risks.
- Shuttle Car Rental
This service is commonly known as a shuttle, meaning a car rental for pick-up and drop-off. It is typically used by office employees, a company's investors or hotel guests who need fast, easy transport. It also suits anyone who needs a drop-off service, even to a destination outside the city. Vehicles used for this service include minibuses, the Innova or the Avanza.
- Monthly Car Rental
Car rental services in Jakarta also offer monthly rental, which can be used for a somewhat longer period. Most rental companies give 2 options: without a driver, or with a driver from the rental service. This service is mostly used by companies for business trips or projects, but it is sometimes used for personal needs as well.
- Long-Term or Annual Car Rental
Annual car rental means renting a vehicle for a very long time. The rental period can run from six months to three years. This service suits companies looking for a rental dedicated to keeping a particular division's operations running smoothly. As with the other services, renters can use a driver or choose self-drive.
