A Toyota Innova rental in Komodo is the default choice for two to six travellers who land at Komodo Airport (LBJ) and want one vehicle with a driver for the whole trip. It seats seven on paper, carries four to five passengers comfortably with luggage, and handles the steep, narrow, frequently patched roads inland from Labuan Bajo far better than a small city car. Komodo Airport Car Rental supplies the Innova on a with-driver basis only, quoted in USD per day, with the fare confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
We are a local operator based in Labuan Bajo, not a booking aggregator. When you search “Komodo airport car rentals” you will mostly see international travel platforms quoting inflated package totals that bundle flights, hotels and days you never asked for. What you actually need is simpler: one car, one driver, one written fare. That is what this page prices.
What is a Toyota Innova and why is it the standard car in Komodo?
The Toyota Innova is a seven-seat MPV built in Indonesia and used across the archipelago as the workhorse tourist vehicle. In Labuan Bajo it is the practical middle of our fleet: taller ground clearance than a hatchback, real air conditioning that survives midday heat, three rows of seating, and a suspension that copes with the climb out of town toward Golo Mori, Melo and the Manggarai highlands.
Our fleet includes Innova units from recent model generations (Innova Reborn diesel and, subject to availability, the newer Zenix). We do not promise a specific model year at booking. We confirm the exact unit assigned to your dates when you book, and if the assigned car changes for maintenance reasons we tell you before arrival rather than after.

When should you choose the Innova, and when should you size up?
Choose the Innova if you are a couple, a family of three or four, or a pair of friends with dive bags. It is the sweet spot for airport arrival plus a few days of touring: cheap enough that you are not paying for empty seats, big enough that nobody is holding a backpack on their lap for two hours.
Size up if you are five or more adults with full luggage, or if your group wants to stay together on a long inland run. In that case a van is the honest recommendation — see our Toyota Hiace rental page for capacity and USD rates. If you are one or two people doing short in-town hops only, a smaller unit will cost you less and we will say so rather than upsell you.
What does the Innova rental include?
- Driver. Local, Labuan Bajo based, speaks working English. All our cars are supplied with a driver — this is standard practice in Flores and it is also the safest option for visitors unfamiliar with the roads.
- Fuel for the agreed itinerary.
- Vehicle insurance as carried by the operator on the unit.
- Parking and standard road fees on the agreed route.
- Bottled water and phone charging.
- Flight monitoring on airport pickups, so a delayed arrival does not cost you the car.
Not included: national park entrance fees, boat tickets, meals, accommodation for multi-day trips outside Labuan Bajo, and driver overnight allowance on routes that require it. We list those separately in the quote instead of hiding them in a headline number.
How do you book an Innova for Komodo Airport?
Booking is quote-based on WhatsApp. There is no card-entry checkout on this site, deliberately — fares in Flores depend on route, hours and season, and a fixed written quote is more honest than a fake live-inventory price.
- Step 1. Message WhatsApp 6281138105742 with your arrival date, flight number, number of passengers, luggage count and what you want to do.
- Step 2. We reply with a written fare in USD, the vehicle type, the inclusions and the exclusions. Nothing verbal.
- Step 3. You confirm. We send the driver name and contact number ahead of your arrival day.
- Step 4. Meet the driver at Komodo Airport arrivals with a name board. See our Komodo Airport arrival service page for the meeting point detail.
- Step 5. Pay in cash (IDR or USD) or by bank transfer, as agreed in the quote.
How much does a Toyota Innova cost per day in Komodo?
Indicative rates as of 2026, with driver and fuel, quoted per vehicle and not per person:
| Service | Indicative USD |
|---|---|
| Airport arrival to a hotel in Labuan Bajo town | from USD 12 (fixed fare, one way) |
| Half day charter (up to 5 hours, in and around town) | from USD 35 |
| Full day charter (up to 10 hours) | from USD 55 |
| Full day with long overland leg (e.g. highlands, west coast) | from USD 70 |
| Airport late-night arrival surcharge | quoted case by case |
Disclaimer: these figures are indicative starting points for planning, not a binding tariff. Real fares move with fuel cost, season, distance, waiting hours and whether the driver needs an overnight stay. Your confirmed price is the one we send you in writing on WhatsApp. We do not publish a low number and renegotiate at the airport.
For multi-day inland programmes, the Innova is also the standard vehicle on our longer runs — for example the highland route covered on our Labuan Bajo to Wae Rebo page. If you would rather book the driver-and-car relationship for a whole stay rather than trip by trip, see car rental with driver.
FAQ
Can I drive the Innova myself?
No. We supply the Innova with a driver only. Self-drive rental in Flores exposes visitors to unfamiliar mountain roads, informal traffic conventions and insurance complications, and we do not offer it.
How many people actually fit in an Innova with luggage?
Four passengers plus luggage is comfortable. Five is workable with soft bags. Six is possible only for short in-town transfers with minimal luggage. If your group is larger, we will quote a van instead.
What if my flight into Komodo Airport is delayed?
Send us the flight number when you book. We track the arrival and adjust the pickup. There is no waiting charge for a delay caused by the airline on a standard same-day arrival.
Why are your USD prices lower than the totals shown on travel platforms?
Because platform listings frequently display bundled package totals — multi-day inventory, accommodation, sometimes flights — rather than the price of a car for one day. We quote the vehicle and the driver, and we quote it in USD so you can compare it directly against what you were shown elsewhere.
Book your Innova
Komodo Airport Car Rental is operated under Komodo Luxury, part of Juara Holding Group — operating from Bali across Indonesia since 2015. That means the car you meet at arrivals belongs to a company with permanent staff on the ground in Labuan Bajo, not to a listing that disappears after your booking is taken.
Send your dates, flight number and passenger count to WhatsApp 6281138105742 and we will return a written USD fare for the Innova, usually the same day. You can also email sales@komodoluxury.com if you prefer a written trail for company travel approval.
