The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Yogyakarta 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
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.
In general, road signs are extremely rare on Indonesian roads. In remote areas of the country, they are mostly not present at all. Many traffic signs contradict with each other, so drivers shouldn’t fully rely on them.
Motorists should not forget about basic precautions. If you leave the car even for a few minutes, make sure you take all valuable items with you. In popular tourist areas, theft from vehicles is one of the most common crimes.
