Komodo airport car rental, planned like a load sheet
A named driver waits inside arrivals with a name board, your bags are handled, and the USD price is agreed in writing before you land. Fifteen to twenty minutes to town, the marina or the harbour.
Every car comes with a driver — that is the local norm on Flores, not an upsell. Avanza to Elf minibus, plus a limited electric pool for town runs.
The console
Boot-fit & wave planner
Tell it who is landing and what they are carrying. It returns the smallest vehicle that honestly fits, the reason it fits, and what happens at the kerb. The luggage sizing is a rule-of-thumb estimate, not a measured boot volume, and the final fit is confirmed by a person on WhatsApp. Nothing here calls a server and nothing here invents a price.
Panel A
Load
Luggage unit conversion — rule of thumb large case 1.00 · cabin bag 0.45 · dive or camera case 1.35 · soft duffel 0.80. Our own planning scale for sizing a load, not a measured volume. Shown so you can audit the arithmetic instead of trusting it.
Panel B
Wave
The planner uses the same distances, drive times and policy wording that appear in the tables below. If you change one, you change both.
Data column 01
Fleet capacity ledger
Passenger capacity as we publish it, plus a rule-of-thumb luggage estimate so you can size the load before you fly. The seat bands are real. The luggage units are an estimate for planning — we have not measured boot volumes and we do not publish litres.
| Vehicle class | Passengers | Luggage units (estimate) | Rear row folded (estimate) | Driver | Best used for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Avanza | 5–6 | 3 | About 6 units, seats down to about 4 | Included | Two to four travellers, town and harbour runs |
| Toyota Innova | 6–7 | 4 | About 7 units, seats down to about 4 | Included | Families with real luggage, full-day charter |
| Toyota Innova Zenix | 6–7 | 4 | About 7 units, seats down to about 4 | Included | Long inland legs where quiet matters |
| Toyota Fortuner | 6–7 | 4 | About 7 units, seats down to about 4 | Included | Wae Rebo, Ruteng, rough inland tracks |
| Toyota Alphard | 4 | 4 | About 6 units, seats down to about 2 | Included | Executive and honeymoon arrivals |
| Toyota HiAce | 10–14 | 8 | About 14 units, seats down to about 8 | Included | Ten to fourteen travellers with dive gear |
| Isuzu Elf minibus | 15–19 | 10 | About 16 units, seats down to about 12 | Included | Fifteen to nineteen travellers, crews, charter groups |
| Electric car (limited pool) | Small pool — not published, ask the desk | Ask the desk | Not applicable | Included | Town and airport runs only, charging is still thin |
One luggage unit = one large checked case. Cabin bag 0.45, dive or camera hard case 1.35, soft duffel 0.80 — a planning rule of thumb, not a measured boot volume, so treat the luggage columns as an estimate and confirm the real fit with the desk. Passenger bands are seats for travellers; the driver is additional and always included. As of 2026. The fleet is small and June to September sells out.

Arrival wave & wait window
Most operators reduce the airport to one line: "pickup available". This is the whole operating table instead. No adjectives in this block by design.
| Arrival band | Meeting point | Waiting | If the flight moves |
|---|---|---|---|
| First flights of the morning | Inside the arrivals hall, named driver with a name board | Driver is in position before the doors open | Flight number tracked, pickup re-timed to the actual landing |
| Midday arrivals | Same named spot inside arrivals, every time | Waiting is keyed to the tracked landing, not the schedule | Delay re-times the pickup, it does not forfeit it |
| Afternoon arrivals | Inside arrivals, then straight to the kerb bay | Harbour legs are planned backwards from your boarding time | If the delay breaks a boat connection we tell you before you board the car |
| Last flights of the day | Inside arrivals, driver named to you the evening before | Night arrivals are staffed, not improvised | Diverted or cancelled: the job moves to your new flight, message us on WhatsApp |
Operating rules as of 2026. We publish no live flight feed and no availability counter on this page — availability is confirmed by a person on WhatsApp.
Kerb to key
Four steps, and what we refuse to publish
-
01
Send the flight number and the bag count
WhatsApp or email. The load plan from the console above is enough to quote from.
-
02
Written USD quote before you fly
Vehicle class, route, driver, and the price. Fixed in writing, agreed before you land.
-
03
Named driver inside arrivals
Name board at the meeting point. Your flight is tracked, so a delay re-times the pickup.
-
04
Load plan confirmed at the kerb
Bags in the hold as planned. Fifteen to twenty minutes to town, marina or harbour.
What we do not publish
- No star ratings, no review counts and no awards on this page. If you want references, ask and we will send what we can verify.
- No live availability counter. The fleet is small, June to September sells out, and a person confirms the vehicle.
- No crossed-out fake discounts. Prices are indicative in USD as of 2026 and become fixed once the quote is written.
- No self-drive pretence. Every vehicle runs with a driver, which is the working norm on Flores.
- No specs we have not measured. We publish no boot litres, no EV range figures and no fuel-consumption numbers. The luggage units on this page are a planning rule of thumb, and they say so.
- No fee schedule invented for the web. Overtime, out-of-zone runs, child seats and any extras are quoted on WhatsApp and confirmed in your written quote, not printed here.
Operated under Komodo Luxury, part of Juara Holding Group, since 2015. Service area: Komodo Airport (LBJ), Labuan Bajo, and overland Flores. Quotes and settlement in USD, confirmed on WhatsApp.
Data column 03
How the USD price is built
Rates are quoted per vehicle, in USD, and fixed in writing before you land. We do not print a fake table here that changes at the kerb — the live figures sit on the price list page and in your written quote.
| Job type | Quoted as | Included | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airport to town hotel | Fixed USD fare per vehicle, by hotel zone | Driver, fuel, parking, name-board meet | Airport to hotel |
| Airport to harbour or pier | Fixed USD fare per vehicle | Driver, fuel, pier-gate drop, luggage help to the gate | Airport to harbour |
| Round trip, both legs | Both legs fixed at the time of booking | Same vehicle class in and out, one written quote | Round-trip airport car |
| Half day and full day with driver | Hourly and daily blocks per vehicle | Driver hours, fuel, in-town parking | Half-day city tour |
| Multi-day Flores overland | Day rate per vehicle, itinerary written out | Driver, fuel, driver meals and accommodation | Flores overland |
| Early morning and late night flights | Quoted as a normal transfer for the band | Staffed arrivals meet, driver named in advance | Meet and greet |
| Full USD price list | Indicative rates by vehicle and route | Everything above, one page | Price list 2026 |
Indicative in USD, as of 2026, confirmed on WhatsApp. One stamp for the whole table, because one stamp is honest and seven is decoration.
Harbour handoff addendum
- Drop is at the pier gate. Vehicles do not go onto the jetty, so the last stretch to the tender is on foot or by porter.
- Send the boarding time your liveaboard gave you. We plan the pickup backwards from it rather than guessing.
- Fifteen to twenty minutes airport to harbour, plus the walk out of arrivals and the bag transfer at the gate.
- We can say whether a band is tight. We cannot promise a boat will wait, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Before you ask
Six things travellers ask at the kerb
My flight is late. Do I lose the car?
No. We track the flight number, so a delay re-times the pickup instead of forfeiting it. Tell us the new flight if you are rebooked and the job moves with you.
Four divers with hard cases — what actually fits?
On our rule-of-thumb luggage scale, four travellers with four dive cases works out at about 5.4 luggage units — an estimate, not a measurement — which is past an Avanza and past an Innova with seats up. The console will put you in a HiAce, or an Innova class with the rear row folded and seats given up. The real fit is confirmed with the desk on WhatsApp before you fly.
Can I drive myself?
Our vehicles run with a driver. That is the working norm on Flores, where the inland roads are mountain roads and local knowledge is worth more than a steering wheel.
Will the car reach the boat at the harbour?
We drop at the pier gate; vehicles do not go onto the jetty. Send the boarding time your boat gave you and we plan the pickup backwards from it.
How is the price fixed, and in what currency?
Quoted in USD per vehicle and confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you land. Rates are indicative as of 2026 until that written quote is agreed.
How far ahead should I book in high season?
The fleet is small and June to September sells out. If you are landing in that window, book as soon as your flight is ticketed rather than on arrival.
