The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Jakarta are: Toyota Hilux, Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota 4Runner, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Indonesia ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Indonesia are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Left driving is adopted in the country. It is really difficult to estimate condition of roads in Indonesia. If in busy resort areas their quality remains quite satisfactory, in remote areas dirty roads are often virtually impassable, especially after a rainstorm.
In the city, the maximum permitted speed is 30 - 40 km/h, and on country roads the maximum permitted speed is 70 km/h. On some highways, it is allowed to increase speed of up to 100 km/h.
It's worth noting that traffic is very heavy on main roads of major cities, so don’t even expect to drive fast there. On suburban roads, you have to be also very careful, as there are many massive trucks and tourist buses.
