Monthly Car Rental in Bali: Long-Term Prices, Servicing & No-Deposit Options
Digital nomads, families on a long break, people renovating a villa — if you’re in Bali for a month or more, a monthly car rental is usually the cheapest way to have your own wheels. Here’s what it costs, what should be included, and how to avoid the long-term rental headaches.
What does a monthly car rental cost in Bali?
| Car | Typical monthly price (self-drive) |
|---|---|
| Toyota Calya / Daihatsu Sigra | ~IDR 3.5–5 million |
| Honda Brio / Toyota Agya | ~IDR 4–5.5 million |
| Toyota Avanza / Hyundai Stargazer | ~IDR 5–7 million |
| Mitsubishi Xpander | ~IDR 6–8 million |
| Toyota Innova | ~IDR 8–12 million |
These are 2026 market estimates. In the SiapPergi car catalogue (our sister site) monthly prices at the time of writing start at around IDR 3.5 million for a Calya and IDR 4 million for a Brio — with delivery, no deposit up front, and payment when the car is handed over.
Monthly vs daily: the maths
A Brio at IDR 300k a day for 30 days is IDR 9 million. On a monthly rate it’s often less than half that. Even a two-week stay can be worth asking about — many rentals offer weekly rates that sit between daily and monthly.
What should be included
- Routine servicing — oil changes and checks during the rental, ideally at your villa.
- A replacement car if yours breaks down.
- Valid STNK (registration) and tax for the whole period.
- Clear damage terms in writing.
- Delivery and pick-up.
Things to check on a long rental
- STNK expiry date — it shouldn’t expire during your rental.
- Tyres and air-con — you’ll live with them for a month.
- Odometer photo at handover.
- Payment schedule — for long rentals, paying month by month at the start of each month is fairer than paying three months upfront.

Running costs for a month
Fuel depends on how much you drive: a nomad driving 20–30 km a day in Canggu might spend IDR 500k–1 million a month; a family doing weekend trips more. Add parking (IDR 5–10k a stop) and the occasional toll. Not sure a car beats a scooter for a long stay? See monthly scooter rental in Bali — a scooter costs a fraction of the price.
Licence for long stays
An International Driving Permit plus your home licence covers you as a visitor. If you’re staying long-term on a KITAS, look into an Indonesian licence (SIM A for cars). See IDP for Bali.
