Labuan Bajo Car Rental is a car-rental operator in Labuan Bajo, Flores — a limited chauffeured fleet (Toyota Avanza, Innova, Innova Zenix, Fortuner, Alphard, HiAce/Commuter, Isuzu Elf minibus, and an electric bZ4X/Air EV) for Komodo Airport (LBJ) pickups, in-town hire, 5-hour and 12-hour blocks, full-day charter, and multi-day Flores overland routes (Ruteng, Bajawa, Kelimutu, Maumere, Wae Rebo). With-driver is the norm here; self-drive is rare. Prices are quoted in USD and confirmed on WhatsApp. Fleet is small and fills fast in the June–September peak, so pre-book. Operated under Komodo Luxury, part of Juara Holding Group since 2015. WhatsApp +62 811-3810-5742.

Common questions
Do rentals come with a driver?
Yes — with-driver is the norm in Labuan Bajo. Every car includes an English-speaking local driver; self-drive is rarely offered because of road conditions and parking.
How are prices shown?
In USD, per vehicle per day or per 5-hour/12-hour block, confirmed on WhatsApp. There is no fixed public tariff; a quote reflects vehicle, duration and route.
Which car for Flores overland to Kelimutu or Wae Rebo?
A Fortuner (SUV) or HiAce for groups. Mountain roads and the Wae Rebo access track need high clearance; an Avanza is fine only for town and short hops.
Can I rent an electric car?
Yes, a Toyota bZ4X/Air EV for quiet town rides. Honestly, range and charging limits make it unsuitable for multi-day Flores overland — take a hybrid Zenix or petrol SUV for those.
Is the fleet always available?
No — the local fleet is small and fills fast in the June–September peak. Pre-book to lock a vehicle.
