Car Rental in Bali for a Group of Friends: Cost Per Person, Seats & Luggage
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read
Bali with friends is the best kind of trip — until you try to get six people from the villa to the beach club in three different taxis. A 7-seater rental car keeps the group together and, split between everyone, costs less than a coffee each per day. Here's how the numbers work and how to pick the right setup.
Cost per person
| Car | Seats | Per day | Per person (4 people) | Per person (6 people) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honda Brio | 5 | IDR 310,000 | IDR 78,000 | — |
| Toyota Calya | 7 | IDR 310,000 | IDR 78,000 | IDR 52,000 |
| Toyota Avanza | 7 | IDR 360,000 | IDR 90,000 | IDR 60,000 |
| Hyundai Stargazer | 7 | IDR 360,000 | IDR 90,000 | IDR 60,000 |
| Mitsubishi Xpander | 7 | IDR 410,000 | IDR 103,000 | IDR 69,000 |
Compare: two people sharing a scooter like the Honda BeAT (Gen 4–5) pay about IDR 40,000 each per day — cheaper, but you need three or four scooters for a group and confident riders.

How many people and bags really fit?
- 7 seats includes the driver. With all seats up, the boot fits a few small bags only.
- With 5 people, fold one back seat and you'll fit several suitcases.
- Airport day with 6–7 people and big luggage: take two cars (for example a 7-seater plus a Brio), or ask about an airport transfer.
- Surfboards don't fit inside a 7-seater with a full car — ask on WhatsApp.
Who drives?
Pick one or two drivers with a licence and an International Driving Permit, and agree that nobody drives after drinking. For big nights out, leave the car and use taxis. If nobody wants to drive on the left, book a car with driver for the day trips — split six ways, it's very reasonable.
