The easiest way is to pre-book an airport taxi or transfer before you land. A Transbajo driver waits at Komodo Airport (LBJ) arrivals and takes you to your hotel, the harbour or your boat; the drive to town takes only about 10 minutes. Prices start from IDR 100,000 per trip depending on your destination.

The half-day city tour to Batu Cermin Cave and Rangko Cave costs IDR 650,000 per person, including an AC car, a driver-guide, the wooden boat to Rangko Cave and mineral water.

For a 3-day self-drive rental: Avanza about IDR 1,950,000, Innova Reborn IDR 2,550,000 and Innova Zenix IDR 3,600,000, fuel not included. With a driver, the driver and fuel cost is added based on your route and confirmed on WhatsApp.

Self-drive rates do not include fuel or a driver. For rentals with a driver, fuel and the driver are included in the quote for your route, so you never have to refuel yourself.

Ideally 1–3 weeks before your trip. In high season (July–August and December–January), book the Innova Zenix and Alphard about a month ahead. Last-minute requests can still be checked on WhatsApp.

There are no active offers right now. New offers are always shown on the home page and announced on WhatsApp.

Yes. You can pick the car up in Labuan Bajo and drop it in Ende, Maumere or Larantuka. The cost of returning the car to Labuan Bajo is included in the quote, so share your full route when you book.

Estimated driving times: Labuan Bajo–Ruteng about 3.5–4 hours, Ruteng–Bajawa about 4–5 hours, Bajawa–Moni (Kelimutu) about 5 hours and Moni–Maumere about 3 hours. The Trans-Flores Highway is paved but winding, so split long routes over several days.

The Innova Reborn or Hilux 4WD is the most comfortable on the narrow, steep road to Denge village, the trailhead for Wae Rebo. The Avanza and Veloz also manage in dry weather if driven carefully. If you are not used to mountain roads, we recommend a local driver.

Generally yes. Roads in Labuan Bajo town are fairly wide, while the Trans-Flores Highway is paved but full of sharp bends and climbs. Avoid driving at night outside town, watch for livestock and scooters, and refuel whenever you see a petrol station because they are far apart on some stretches.

Yes. The Toyota Alphard (IDR 3,500,000/day) and Innova Zenix Hybrid (IDR 1,200,000/day) are popular as wedding cars, for VIP guests and for executive transfers from Komodo Airport. For events, we recommend booking with a driver so timings run smoothly.

Groups of 8–14 can use two cars, for example two Innovas. For 15–35 people a medium bus is better value — see sewabuslabuanbajo.com. Contact us so several vehicles can be reserved for the same date.
