The streets tend to be narrow and heavily populated, especially in the heart of the city, which is better suited for small, compact car hire models. Small car hire in Jakarta is easier to navigate and much easier to find parking for. If you're travelling with larger groups, try to find a larger SUV that's thinner rather than wider. If you're uncomfortable with driving in the city, many car hire companies give you the option of hiring a driver with the vehicle.

Jakarta, like the rest of Indonesia, has a maximum and minimum speed limit. On expressways and highways, the maximum speed limit is between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, though most locals will drive faster than that if given the chance. The maximum speed limit on most other roads is between 40 km/h and 80 km/h, while the minimum speed limit is 20 km/h. During peak hour traffic, you'll often find yourself having to go slower than 20 km/h. Bear in mind that foreigners are targeted by local police for infringements, so stick to the rules even if nobody else does.

Finding parking for your car hire in Jakarta isn't difficult. There is ample paid parking around the city, especially in the city centre close to shopping centres and retail stores. There are both paid and unpaid car parks and on-street parking available in the city. Jakarta has some of the lowest parking rates in the world, so whether it's paid or not, it shouldn't break the bank.
