When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Indonesia vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Indonesia are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Bali, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
It is not difficult to get used to peculiarities of traffic in Indonesia. Simply use common sense and carefully watch other vehicles. Despite the fact that local people are not inclined to comply with even basic safety rules, they are rather accurate drivers.
In addition to moped riders, foreign drivers should also be very attentive when driving close to passenger buses and trucks. They feel the priority of on the road, so they almost never give way to other vehicles. Moreover, their attitude to motorcycle riders and car drivers can only be described as contemptuous.
Foreign drivers should also not forget that at different time of the day traffic can be arranged in different ways in the same town. Do not be surprised if in the morning some street has one-way traffic, and in the evening vehicles will move in both directions. The fact that there are usually no warning and information signs on such roads only makes the situation more complicated.
