A 12-hour full-day car rental in Labuan Bajo gives you a private vehicle with a local driver, fuel and parking for one complete day — ideal for a city tour, a Komodo-region day trip, or a Flores day excursion. As of 2026, indicative all-in rates start from around USD 45 per day, booked directly with a local operator instead of an overseas travel platform. You pay one transparent price in US dollars, with no bundled tour mark-ups and no surprise add-ons at pickup.
Komodo Car Rental runs this service on the ground in Labuan Bajo, so your driver, vehicle and route are managed locally rather than resold through an OTA. That is why our USD pricing stays honest while listings such as “Komodo Airport Car Rentals from $2,183” on large booking sites usually bundle multi-day packages you may not need for a single day out.
What does a 12-hour full-day car rental include?
The full-day rate is designed to be genuinely all-in for a normal city or day-trip itinerary, so you are not calculating extras as you go. A standard 12-hour booking includes:
- Private car with an experienced local driver for up to 12 hours from your agreed start time.
- Fuel for a standard Labuan Bajo city or day-trip route.
- Parking fees and standard road tolls along the way.
- Pickup and drop-off at your hotel, villa, or on arrival at Komodo Airport (LBJ).
- Drinking water on board and flexible stops within your itinerary.
Entrance tickets, meals, boat trips and any overnight stays sit outside the driving rate — those are simply paid where you go, so the car price stays predictable. If you only need a shorter window, our 5-hour half-day rental covers airport runs and quick errands at a lower price.
What can you do with a full day in Labuan Bajo?
Twelve hours is enough for a relaxed self-guided day without watching the clock. A typical full-day city tour strings together Bukit Cinta and Puncak Waringin for sunset views, Batu Cermin cave, Melo traditional village, and a seafood dinner near the harbour — all at your own pace with the driver waiting between stops.
The same full day also works as a Flores day trip: a run out to Cunca Wulang waterfall, the Sano Nggoang crater lake, or the first leg toward Ruteng. If you want to push further into the highlands over several days, our Flores overland trips to Ruteng, Bajawa, Kelimutu and Maumere extend the same driver-led format across the island.
Which vehicles are available, including EV?
You can match the vehicle to your group size and comfort level. Economy MPVs like the Toyota Calya or Avanza suit couples and small families; the Toyota Innova gives more legroom for longer day trips; the Fortuner adds a higher, tougher ride for rougher Flores roads; and the Toyota Hiace carries larger groups.
We also offer electric vehicles for the full day — a quiet, zero-tailpipe-emission option that fits Labuan Bajo’s compact city touring and short day-trip radius well. EV demand keeps growing among conservation-minded visitors to the Komodo region, and a full-day EV booking is a clean way to explore town and nearby viewpoints. All of our vehicles can be booked as a straightforward car rental with driver.
How do you book a 12-hour car rental in Labuan Bajo?
Booking is done directly over WhatsApp, so you get a real person and a firm USD quote before you commit:
- Message us on WhatsApp with your date, group size, and pickup point (hotel or Komodo Airport / LBJ).
- Pick your vehicle — economy MPV, Innova, Fortuner, Hiace, or EV — and share a rough idea of your itinerary.
- Confirm the all-in USD rate and start time; we assign the driver and vehicle.
- Meet your driver at the agreed time and enjoy the full day.
If you are landing first, we can start the clock at the terminal with our Komodo Airport car rental so the airport pickup rolls straight into your full-day tour.

Frequently asked questions
Is fuel included in the 12-hour rate?
Yes. For a standard Labuan Bajo city tour or nearby day trip, fuel is included in the full-day rate along with the driver, parking and standard tolls. Only unusually long cross-Flores routes may add a fuel or distance component, which we confirm upfront.
Can I use the full-day car for a Flores day trip?
Absolutely. Twelve hours comfortably covers a return day trip to spots like Cunca Wulang or Sano Nggoang. For destinations deeper inland such as Ruteng, Bajawa, Kelimutu or Wae Rebo, a multi-day overland itinerary is the better fit.
Do you offer electric cars for a full day?
Yes, EV bookings are available for the full 12-hour day. Electric vehicles are quiet and produce no tailpipe emissions, which suits Labuan Bajo’s short city and day-trip distances. Availability is limited, so book your EV a little earlier.
Can you pick me up at Komodo Airport (LBJ)?
Yes. We meet arriving guests at Komodo Airport (LBJ) and can begin your 12-hour full day directly from the terminal, so your first stop is on the way rather than an extra transfer cost.
