Top tips for hiring a car in Lombok
- Depending on your chosen company for car hire, you will find there are different regulations and requests to complete the purchase of your car hire. You will always need to show proof of a valid driving licence, and this will usually need to be held for at least one year. In addition, a customer will usually have to show another proof of legitimate identification; an appropriate example is a passport. Subject to the car hire company, you may also need to show a second proof of address.
- Filling your car hire vehicle with fuel is slightly different to other foreign countries. Those looking for fuel for their hire vehicle will find appropriate petrol stations usually consist of a small section on the side of the road that produces petrol in bottles. Alternatively, drivers can sometimes find more major petrol stations like Pertamina. On return of your car hire, you will normally have to match the amount of petrol that your car hire initially was driven away with. Otherwise, some companies will ask you to pay a deposit for petrol costs.
- Those who are intending to drive around Lombok will find it is one of only a few places around the world that allows alcohol to be sold legally with no limitations on the driving blood-alcohol limit. Drivers will not be fined for consumption of alcohol when they are due to drive, but all consumption of alcohol should always be taken appropriately and carefully.
- Typically, car hire companies and locations are most commonly found at a destination’s airport. Whilst those looking to hire a car in Lombok will find appropriate car hire companies at Lombok International Airport (LOP), there are also many others dotted around the island. Popular choices include Mangsit, Mataram, Seksari and Karang Lebah, among many others. Make sure to choose a pickup location that best suits you, as you'll usually find you have to return your hire car to the same location from which you first picked it up.
- Book your rental car in Lombok at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Lombok are around 30% more expensive than other car types, on average
FAQs about hiring a car in Lombok
Should I hire a car in Lombok?
Whilst Lombok has lots of public transport options available, a hire car is a more ideal choice for those who want to explore the island with no limits. Driving in a hire car with no restrictions around the island of Lombok usually takes 2-4h. Whilst you travel, you can enjoy the beautiful and picturesque landscapes of the island. Some of the top attractions, landmarks and venues are also dotted around the island of Lombok, meaning the freedom of driving is essential. Some of these attractions include Gili Trawngan, Pink Beach, Kuta Beach and many others.
What is driving like in Lombok?
Lombok has easy traffic conditions, which means driving is a pleasant and easy experience for most travellers. It’s advised people avoid driving at night due to the lack of visibility and the odd pothole that could affect your journey. Driving around Lombok isn’t too different to driving around the UK with its left-hand driving. Drivers will find there is not just a maximum speed limit but also a minimum. The maximum speed limit for most major roads is 80-100 km/h (50-62 mph) and 40-80 km/h (25-50 mph) for other general roads, whereas the minimum driving limit is 20 km/h (12 mph).
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Lombok?
The most common minimum age for car hire in Lombok is 23 years old. These drivers should also have held their licence for at least one year. Requirements and age can differ depending on specific car hire companies and their policies. Whilst most companies don’t serve customers under the age of 23, there are a few companies that will let you hire a car if you are 21 years old. Whilst this is subject to other conditions, you will generally have to expect an additional charge, also known as a young driver’s fee. Your chosen vehicle hire type is also subject to age. For example, you won’t usually find luxury car hire available to younger drivers.
