Car Rental Document Requirements for Online Booking: Complete Guide Before You Book

Looking for the car rental document requirements for booking online? Most providers ask for much the same paperwork, but how it is checked differs, and that is where many travellers get confused. This guide lists the documents to prepare and how the process works at SiapPergi.

The main documents you need

To rent a self-drive car from SiapPergi, prepare:

• A valid car driving licence (SIM mobil). You must show it at handover.
• Your passport or ID card. You only show it; SiapPergi does not hold your passport or ID.
• For foreign visitors: your home-country licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). You need both while driving in Indonesia.
• Minimum age: you must hold a valid car licence. Age limits and exact details can change, so confirm them on WhatsApp.

Note: licence, IDP and driving rules are set by official bodies (the police and immigration). Rules can change, so always check the official source before you travel.

What you do not have to hand over

Many renters expect to leave a security deposit. At SiapPergi the rules are different:
