Car rental at the Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport

From the Airport to Your Destination

The airport's strategic location makes it a fantastic starting point to explore Makassar city and the exotic landscapes of South Sulawesi.

Car Rental Services

You'll find several international and local car rental services available at the arrivals terminal. Be sure to compare prices to get the best deal and don't forget to secure an International Driving Permit as Indonesia drives on the left, similar to the UK.

Driving In and Around South Sulawesi

Indonesian traffic might take some getting used to, but with a few handy tips, you'll be exploring in no time. Unlike in the UK, it's common to hoot a lot and don't be shocked if smaller roads are a bit bumpy and without clear signals.

Fuel Station Tips

Don't expect self-service here, stations in Indonesia are full-service. The petrol here is called 'Bensin', and the diesel 'Solar'. These are cheaper than in the UK. Fill up before your journey as stations can be few and far between in the countryside.

Weather and Currency

Unlike Britain's unpredictable weather, Indonesia generally has a tropical climate, but do come prepared for intense downpours during the rainy season. The currency here is Indonesian rupiah (IDR). Cash is the standard, with ATMs located in the airport and major cities.
