Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Balikpapan car reservation?
We all have times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we offer a full refund on many prepaid rentals if you notify us six hours before collecting the car. Don't forget to double-check your cancellation policy — sometimes it's not available. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Balikpapan?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked rental in Balikpapan. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a great deal of room. They're especially suited to city driving. Squeezing into narrow parking spots will be a walk in the park!
Where can I go on a road trip from Balikpapan?
There's lots on offer in Balikpapan, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can roam around the greater area at your leisure. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:
  • Head to Samarinda for an excellent sightseeing experience. Approximately 88 kilometres from Balikpapan, it has lots of amazing attractions like Samarinda Central Plaza Shopping Mall.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Murungpudak too? Major sights here include Tanjung Puri Torch Tower. Murungpudak is 193 kilometres from Balikpapan.
  • Visit Meratus Mountains for a day out in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Balikpapan, it's 338 kilometres away.

Where can I find a Balikpapan car rental if I am younger than 25?
