Why Rent an Electric Car in Indonesia?

During the past few years, Indonesia has been experiencing a steady increase in international visitors. This is expected to drive growth in the car rental market. However, this growth is not yet fully supported by the country's economy.

In addition, the country has been grappling with air pollution in its cities. Its capital, Jakarta, is ranked among the most polluted cities in the region. Its transport system is still heavily dominated by petrol vehicles.

However, the government has set a goal for the number of electric vehicles in the country. By 2030, Indonesia wants to produce 600,000 electric cars. It also wants to become the world's leading EV production hub.

To reach its goal, the Indonesian government has rolled out a variety of incentives for the EV industry. It has also introduced a tax scheme for manufacturers and transport companies. In addition, the National Armed Forces has joined several companies to send electric vehicles to the G20 summit in Bali.

The Indonesian government has set a three-year deadline for all state-owned companies to use only electric vehicles. In addition, some regional governments have shown interest in EVs.

While the Indonesian government is doing its part to promote EVs, it will take much more to make the transition to EVs a reality. To begin with, the uptake of electric vehicles in Indonesia needs to increase. Besides the government, other transportation companies are exploring the potential in the EV market.

The uptake of EVs in Indonesia is closely linked to the country's economic development and energy sector strategies. However, consumer concerns about functionality and convenience are the biggest barrier to adoption.

Car rental models

You can rent almost any kind of car in Indonesia, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Indonesia have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Citroen C1 is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Indonesia. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - Audi A6, price starts at 52$ per day.
Most rental cars in Indonesia are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.

Even if you caused the damage, third-party insurance is usually included in the rental price. This insurance does not cover car or driver damage.
Many base contracts include a large deductible (damages not insured by the rental provider). If you cause an accident, you must pay the contract's deductible to repair the rental car. You can add extra insurance to your rental to cover car damage. Did you know that some banks cover you when traveling if you used your card to pay?

When it comes to car rental costs, Indonesia is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Indonesia during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Indonesia.

Cheapest Way to Rent a Car in Indonesia

Visiting Indonesia can be an exciting experience. From beaches to volcanic mountains to historical sites, there is plenty to see. If you want to make the most of your time, renting a car is a convenient option. However, it is not always the cheapest way to go. You will want to do your research and shop around for the best deals.

The most popular islands are Bali and Sumatra. Bali is home to the world-famous Hindu temple of the same name. It is one of the largest Hindu temples in southern Asia. The temple is comprised of three major shrines.

Renting a car in Indonesia is not as cheap as you might think. You can expect to pay around $31 a day for a Small car. You can expect to pay more for an Automatic transmission car, however.

If you plan on visiting Indonesia during these times, try to book your rental in advance.

You may also find that you will get a better price if you pay up front. This will save you 10 to 15 percent off the price of the car.
  • When booking your car in Indonesia, you will need to provide your driver's license, proof of identification, and photo identification proofs. You may also need an International Driving Permit.
