if you ask me, my advise is: first 2 or 3 days in bandung. then, the last 2 or 3 days in jakarta. because you return from jakarta. it will minimize problem if you already in jakarta.

Expensive-lah. You can book the whole Avanva at Bandung railway station at ~400-450K rupiah.. That's ~RM150 for the whole car/day.


You can goto Bandung either via express buses or railway. Easiest & reliable for sure via buses. Last time, I directly buy the bus ticket outside Jakarta airport upon arrival & direct to bandung. If train, just goto Gambir train stn (The largest stn in Jakarta) and buy ticket to Bandung

You mean the day tour expensive??

Any suggestion?


I hear weekend very hard to buy train ticket .is that true?

I already suggested. take those drivers inside the railway stn (Taxi). otherwise, google further.. "wth keyword "mobil sewa bandung" I actually wanted to take train from Bandung back to Jakarta but duruing that time, the schedule was delayed due to flood & landslide. So have to retuirn the ticket to the railway office and took the same taxi consortium by sharing wth few more passengers to Jakarta.

Try taking express buses rather than train if you do not want to have the same experience as me.. i.e got delayed, postponed or even cancelled

So,how the express bus..charge like?

Per trip or 2 way?

I can buy it in the airport once I arrival?

If rent a car...rm150 per day.
I dun Hv international lincense. And I dunno there well.

You mean you want to drive yourselves? Well, not easy but possible- No need int driving license in Indonesia, I did it in Bali. But for bandung, They dun really having self drive car for rental 9Well as far as i know) All the car rental require you rent the car wth the driver i.e RM150/day is inclusive of driver-lah.. You only need to pay the driver for his lunch. Express bus for sure 1 way. I can't remember how much dy but should be ~75K rupiah/way/pax direct from Airpprt to Bandung terminal of the bus company (mine was just in front of Giant hyper- bandung)

OK.. Found my old posting on my 2D1N trip straight from the airport here.. do read:

express bus / shuttle is best for 2 peoples. cost about 125k idr per person.

shuttle operates from pool to pool. if you know your hotel location, can choose nearest pool to cut taxi cost.

rental car means with driver of course. better not drive yourself here. especially if this is your first visit.

Thank for information ya

But I think I will get express bus.

So I can get the ticket in airport?

at what time you arrive in jakarta ? because last shuttle depart from 22:00

Our schedule is like this Cakur

First day arrival Jakarta around 9am morning

Second day and third day going Bandung

Fourth day back to Jakarta

Fifth day departure

arrive in morning is good. just go to shuttle counter. if nearest shuttle is full, you may need to wait about 1 hour for next shuttle. generally, it is easy to get shuttle to bandung.

Hi all need advice, is there travel agency that goes on with only surabaya and bandung only? And reasonable price, pm or mention/summon me tyvm

Easier, 1st day, straight take the express bus from the airport to Bandung.. there are few express buses operating from the airport.

Do you know how far Surabaya from Jakarta or even bandung .. With the condition of rural roads in Indonesia, you probably expecting atleast 12 hrs from Jakarta or 10 hrs by bus from bandung to Suranbaya
