Costs of a rental car with driver in Indonesia

To, for example, hire a Toyota Corolla in Paris, you easily pay around 150 euro a day, without driver and without the costs of the fuel.

  • your rental car, with air conditioning,
  • the fuel,
  • your English- or Dutch speaking driver
  • his expenses and accommodation,

In short; all the costs of your transport by car!

Very safe and secure feeling

Seeing, feeling and being a part of how life is in Indonesia, through the guided tour in Bogor, the cycling and culinairy tour in Yogyakarta provided by Indonesia tours. It was a wonderful trip. We were very pleased that all the people of Indonesian tours made us feel so welcome and a part of their country.
Very quick and personal responses at any request. Very warm and thoughtful and a chauffeur who is always in immediately contact with us, where ever we are, a very safe and secure feeling. Big thank you to Natasha and chauffeurs Yusuf and Hernawan!

Zoe from the Netherlands, December 2024 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Responded to all of our wishes

We felt very well looked after from the beginning of the trip planning to the end! A big thank you to Tika, who always responded to our wishes in the planning, helped us with suggestions and whom we were even able to meet personally on the bike tour! Our tour guide Rizal was a very friendly, courteous companion! He organised excursions for us, was always reliable and punctual and, last but not least, a very good driver!
The highlight of our trip was the bike tour with Tika! We really enjoyed getting to know Indonesian people off the beaten track

We could feel the care and professional approach

kinderen in Indonesie

Delightful experience in all aspects of our reservation, from the first contact with Tika to the warm embrace in the last farewell from all the staff.
We booked a cycling tour, cooking class and some sightseeing in Yogyakarta. From the get go we could feel the care and professional approach. Abid took us on a lovely cycling tour, where we experienced the Javanese life, planting rice, making tempe and tofu, manufacturing bricks, learning about the plants, always passing through lovely landscapes.
After some sightseeing in Yogyakarta with a friendly chauffer, we then went for a cooking class with the company owners, starting in the local market to learn how and what ingredients to pick. The cooking class went well past dinner time, eating appetizers, drinking delicious tea, made with a unique recipe, and savouring the deliciously food that we learned to cook, all while diving in beautiful and meaningful conversations with our lovely hosts. It truly felt like being at home surrounded by family. What a great experience!

Gonçalo Figueiredo from Portugal, October 2024 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Perfectly arranged

We had a wonderful trip visiting the various beautiful sites in Java. Everything was arranged perfectly for us, like hotels, entrance tickets, guides etc. Questions during the trip were answered quick and in a very friendly way. Changes in the tour were possible. We visited Tumpak Sewu,  Bromo,  Ijen,  Borobudur, Prambanan and did a cycling tour and cooking class.
Our experienced driver knew a lot about Indonesia and the various sites. He was very flexible and also gave us good suggestions for restaurants.

Really appreciated

The whole trip was very appreciated thanks to our driver Yusuf. We really appreciated Yusuf’s availability, his discretion, his efforts to understand us, his kindness, his careful driving and his good humor

Yoland from France, October 2024 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Always professional, on time and nice to deal with

We booked 2 trips with Indonesian Tour – first, 5 days, from Bali to Java and back and second, just a day trip on Bali. On both occasions, drivers, Yuli (Java trip) and Made (Bali trip) were always professional, on time and nice to deal with. During the trips we had some changes on timings or on some destinations and drivers were always supportive, offering advice and options. Some days we were starting early and finishing very late, which had to be exhausting for the drivers, but there were never complains and always willing to go extra mile.
On the trip to Java, Yuli helped us greatly with getting organised tickets to our destination (some required medical check (Ijen volcano) or Jeeps expedition to visit Bromo volcano) – saved us much hassle and made our trip mor “smooth” 😊
Made also provided great care and help on Bali destinations.
All and all, we had a great time, very busy and active holiday schedule, seen many things and everything went great, no hassle or any kind of issues (thanks to the drivers). We are wishing all the best and good luck for the entire Team of Indonesian Tours!,
