Taxi
While most of the air-conditioned taxis in Jakarta are metered and will cost you Rp. 4,000 for the first km and Rp. 1,800 for each subsequent km, many taxi operators will try and do away with the meter if they see that you are a tourist.

Note : If you ever take cabs in Jakarta, please only take either the Silver bird or Blue Bird as these are the 2 safest taxi here. We strongly discourage you from taking any other cabs n matter how urgent it is. Both these operators will operate using their meter and the drivers name is at the dashboard. Make sure the meter operated.

It is also possible to rent Taxi by the hour, usually for a minimum of two hours, or for trips outside the city. Again the best thing to do is to ring Blue Bird at 7941234 or 7981001 or to arrange one at your hotel reception desk.

Please do not take any of the cabs below unless you are a season traveler and know Jakarta very often. This is not a paid editorial by Silver Bird. They are the safest cabs in Jakarta.

• Car Rental
  Car can be hired with a minimum charge equivalent to two hours within the city limits and accordingly to the distance for out of town touring. Minibuses and limousines are also available for hire. Car Rental Companies also rent cars for drivers. This is marginally more expensive than renting a self-driving car, and much more preferable.
  
  You may also hiring cars from private vendors. Private minibuses or car often hang around the train station and some hotels, but rather than getting someone off the street, better ask to your hotel or travel agents. Charges are negotiable, and mostly cost you “half” of the car rental companies’ rates.
