Cheap bike rental in Jakarta

[Globus]

Hey everyone, I'm heading to Jakarta next month for work and I'm thinking about renting a motorbike to beat the traffic. I've heard that's the way locals get around. Never ridden in Asia before though, so a bit nervous about the chaos. Any tips on finding a reliable rental place that won't rip me off? Looking for a simple scooter, nothing fancy.

Jakarta traffic is intense but a scooter really is the fastest way to move around. Best to use a platform that connects you with local renters so you can see reviews upfront. You can check what's available for bike rental in Jakarta on a site like this for example https://getrentacar.com/en-US/motorcycle-rental/indonesia-jakarta . Plenty of other options around too if you search online though.

Make sure the rental includes a helmet and check that the lock works properly. Also ask what happens if you get a flat tyre or the bike breaks down. Better to know the procedure beforehand.
