If you’re planning a trip to Lombok and trying to figure out how much to budget for a rental car, this guide breaks down current rates clearly — by vehicle type, rental package, and what’s included (or not).
The Three Rental Packages
Before looking at the numbers, it’s worth understanding the three package types — this is where most of the price difference comes from:
Self-Drive — You drive the car yourself. Fuel is not included; you pay for it separately. The most affordable option, and ideal if you’re comfortable navigating unfamiliar roads.
With Driver — Includes an experienced local driver. You don’t need to worry about navigation or road conditions. Fuel is still paid separately by you. For a closer look at when each option makes sense, read our self-drive vs. with driver guide.
Driver + Fuel — The most hassle-free option. Both the driver and fuel are covered in the flat daily rate. Particularly good value for long-distance routes like Sembalun, the Rinjani foothills, or a full-day south coast trip — fuel consumption on those routes adds up more than most people expect.
All rates below are per day (24 hours). For rentals of 3 days or more, ask about multi-day rates.
City Cars (2–4 Passengers)
The most affordable option for couples or small groups exploring Mataram, Senggigi, and the west coast. Not recommended for steep mountain roads heading toward Sembalun or Rinjani.
| Vehicle | Self-Drive | With Driver | Driver + Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota New Agya | IDR 325,000 | IDR 550,000 | IDR 700,000 |
| Honda New Brio | IDR 350,000 | IDR 550,000 | IDR 700,000 |
Standard MPVs (5–6 Passengers)
The most popular category for families and groups. Handles most road types in Lombok comfortably — from city streets to the majority of tourist routes.
| Vehicle | Self-Drive | With Driver | Driver + Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota New Avanza | IDR 375,000 | IDR 650,000 | IDR 800,000 |
| Toyota New Veloz Q | IDR 450,000 | IDR 700,000 | IDR 850,000 |
| Mitsubishi Xpander | IDR 450,000 | IDR 675,000 | IDR 850,000 |
SUVs (4–6 Passengers)
A better fit for more demanding routes — including the winding climb toward Sembalun and the Rinjani area — without jumping to a premium vehicle. The price difference from a standard MPV is usually modest, but the difference in comfort on hilly terrain is noticeable.
| Vehicle | Self-Drive | With Driver | Driver + Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Raize GR Sport | IDR 450,000 | IDR 650,000 | IDR 850,000 |
| New Toyota Rush | IDR 450,000 | IDR 700,000 | IDR 850,000 |
| Suzuki XL7 | IDR 450,000 | IDR 700,000 | IDR 850,000 |
Premium MPVs (6–7 Passengers)
For those who want more space, a smoother long-distance ride, or are traveling with passengers who’ll appreciate the extra comfort. The Innova is also available for self-drive if you’d prefer to drive yourself in a roomier vehicle.
| Vehicle | Self-Drive | With Driver | Driver + Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Innova Reborn | IDR 600,000 | IDR 700,000 | IDR 900,000 |
| Toyota Innova Zenix | IDR 675,000 | IDR 750,000 | IDR 975,000 |
Large & Premium Vehicles
For bigger groups, families with a lot of luggage, or anyone after a premium experience. The Fortuner is available for self-drive; the Alphard and Hiace require a driver.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Self-Drive | With Driver | Driver + Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Fortuner GR Sport | 6–7 pax | IDR 1,200,000 | IDR 1,350,000 | IDR 1,500,000 |
| Toyota Hiace Commuter | 14 pax | — | IDR 1,000,000 | IDR 1,300,000 |
| Toyota Hiace Premio | 14 pax | — | IDR 1,300,000 | IDR 1,600,000 |
| Toyota Alphard | 5 pax | — | IDR 4,800,000 | IDR 5,500,000 |
The Hiace is the most cost-efficient option for groups of 10 or more — on a per-person basis, it works out significantly cheaper than booking two or three separate cars, and keeps the group together.
Extra Costs to Budget For
The rates above cover the vehicle rental only. The following are paid separately by the renter — and are the ones most people forget to factor in:
Fuel — For self-drive and with-driver packages, fuel is on you. Consumption varies by vehicle and route; mountainous roads like Sembalun burn noticeably more than flat coastal routes.
Parking fees — Popular spots like Kuta Mandalika, the Gili Islands ferry piers, and the Rinjani area charge for parking. Amounts vary and can be higher during peak season.
Tolls — Some roads around Mataram and Praya are tolled. Small amounts individually, but worth factoring in for longer trips.
Boat crossing fees — If your route involves a sea crossing (a ferry to Sumbawa, for instance), those costs are the renter’s responsibility.
Security deposit — For self-drive rentals, a deposit or your original ID is held as collateral. Returned in full once the vehicle is back in good condition.
What Affects the Final Price
These are our standard daily rates. What you pay at booking may vary based on:
Season and demand. Around Indonesian public holidays, school breaks, and the year-end period, fleet availability drops quickly — especially for larger vehicles. Rates may be higher and booking early becomes more important.
Rental duration. Rentals of 3 or more days can often be negotiated at a better daily rate. Ask us directly for weekly pricing.
Pickup time and location. Pickups outside normal hours or at locations well outside our base area may carry a small additional fee, agreed upon at booking.
Tips for Getting the Best Rate
Book early, especially for large vehicles. The Hiace and Alphard are consistently the first to go during busy periods. A week or two in advance is usually fine for normal travel dates; further ahead for major holidays.
Ask about multi-day rates. For rentals of 3 days or more, it’s always worth asking — there’s usually room for a better daily rate.
Match the vehicle to your actual route. A city car handles Senggigi and Mataram just fine. But if Sembalun or Pink Beach is on your itinerary, an SUV or capable MPV will make the drive considerably more comfortable. Our guide to popular Lombok destinations includes road condition notes for each one.
On long days out, compare Driver + Fuel vs. With Driver carefully. The fuel you’d buy separately on a with-driver package for a full-day mountain or south coast route can narrow the gap significantly. Run the numbers before assuming one is cheaper.
