Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Yogyakarta are: Mitsubishi L300 12 Seater, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Citroen Picasso, Toyota Minibus, Toyota Previa and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Indonesia is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in Indonesia a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Yogyakarta.
Before leaving the parking garage in Yogyakarta, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

It would be wrong to think that all roads in Indonesia are bustling and dangerous. Each island has incredibly beautiful and quiet country roads that never cease to attract tourists. They are ideal for walking and are usually located near rice fields.
When driving on main roads, drivers are recommended to use sound signals. At first glance it may seem that local drivers honk endlessly, expressing their aggression. In fact, they use sound signals to remind other road users about their presence, and warn them about the maneuver they are about to make.
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.
