Car Hire in Johar Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Jakarta, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Most rental companies prefer credit cards and might have limitations on debit card usage. Always check the accepted payment methods prior to booking.

Before returning the car, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the vehicle and any necessary inspections can ease the process.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
