Buying a car

Hello rahuld.

Welcome to Expaqt Blog!

Can you please introduce yourself and give more details on what you are looking for?

Thank you,
Aurélie

Hi we'd like to buy a used car, doesn't matter what size, just reliable and cheap. Is jakarta much cheaper than Denpasar, Bali?
We are thinking of flying into jakarta, buying a car/jeep and driving it to Bali. How long does this take?

What are the processes, just an international drivers licence?

Thanks

You'll need a residency visa (KITAS), and a tax ID to purchase a car in your name.  Without those, leasing might be a better option for you. 

And yes, generally speaking, cars are a better buy in Jakarta than in Bali, but after re-registering it in Bali not to mention the gas, time and associative costs of getting it over to Bali...you could do just as well buying it on Bali in the first place.

Many thanks for the reply, Can foreigners lease long term? We are bringing our pet dog relocating to Bali and would rather drive him from Jakarta ourselves as he has seizures.

Do you recommend any companies we could look into and approx prices please? Would we just need international drivers license?

Many thanks
