What customers say
I use inDrive every day to get to work. It is far more convenient than looking for a taxi on the street. Drivers arrive on time, the cars are clean, and the rides are always smooth. I am very happy with the service.
Not long ago our family went to a family event and I chose inDrive. I was surprised by how easy it was to book — an affordable price, and a driver who knew the city well. We arrived quickly and without any trouble.
My husband and I use inDrive often, both here and when we visit family in other cities. The service is always excellent. Drivers are friendly, they help with luggage, and the rides are calm.
Frequently asked questions about inDrive in Jakarta
How do I book a ride in Jakarta?
Open the inDrive app, set your pickup point and destination in Jakarta, offer the fare you want to pay, and choose a driver from the offers that come back. You can check the driver ratings and vehicle details before you accept.
How much does a taxi cost in Jakarta?
Taxi fares in Jakarta depend on distance, traffic, and time of day. With inDrive, you offer your own fare instead of accepting a meter rate, and you see the price before the ride starts.
Should I agree on the fare before the ride in Jakarta?
With inDrive, you always do. You set the fare when you request the ride, the driver either accepts it or sends a counter-offer, and the price is fixed before the ride begins — so there is nothing to negotiate on the side of the road and no surprises at the end.

Yes, inDrive works in Jakarta. You can request city rides in the app, choose your driver, and pay using the method that suits you.
Is inDrive safe to use in Jakarta?
Every driver in Jakarta has a profile with a rating, reviews, and vehicle details, so you choose who drives you. You can see the car before accepting an offer and share your trip in real time from the app.
