How to book a car with driver in Jogja via WhatsApp

Booking a car with driver in Yogyakarta is fastest on WhatsApp. Send date, time, and destination — we reply with a quote — you confirm — the driver picks you up as agreed. No long website form required.

This page is a step-by-step guide from Izzi Jogja Car Rental. Service overview: car rental with driver. For payment, hours, English-speaking drivers, and child seats, read our Jogja car hire FAQ.

Why WhatsApp instead of a site form

Every guest’s needs differ: early airport transfer, temple day trip, beach run, or Merapi. Chat lets us ask follow-up questions quickly (luggage, children, flight delay) and send a quote that fits. Pricing in Jogja also depends on season and route, so a quote via WhatsApp is more honest than a fixed number that goes stale — details in how pricing works.

Prepare four things before you type

1. Date and pickup time (plus estimated finish if it is daily hire).
2. Pickup and destination — hotel name, address, or “YIA flight …”.
3. Passenger count and approximate luggage.
4. Special needs — child seat, English-speaking driver, multiple stops, waiting at temples or beaches.

The more complete your first message, the faster you get an accurate quote.

Example messages that work well

Airport transfer:

“Landing YIA tomorrow around 14:20 on flight [code], 2 people 2 suitcases, drop at hotel [name] Malioboro.”

Day trip:

“Saturday pickup hotel [name] at 07:00, Borobudur only, 3 people, back to hotel in the afternoon. Need a driver comfortable in English.”

Multiple stops:

“Sunday pickup 08:00, Prambanan + Ratu Boko, back before 17:00, 4 people.”

Copy that pattern, swap in your details, and send to the WhatsApp number on this page.

Booking steps (from chat to pickup)

1. Open WhatsApp to Izzi Jogja Car Rental.
2. Send a short plan summary like the examples above.
3. We check availability and send a quote (route, estimated duration, vehicle type, waiting notes).
4. You agree or ask for changes (time, extra stops).
5. We confirm driver name / contact or day-of procedure.
6. On the day, the driver picks you up at the agreed point; keep the chat number active.

If your flight is delayed or plans change

Tell us on WhatsApp as soon as you can. Short delays can often be adjusted within the quoted limits. Long delays or major destination changes may affect the rate or slot — we discuss first, never charge silently.

During a day trip, a meal or ATM stop is usually fine. Adding a distant temple or beach should be confirmed first so time and safety stay on track.

What slows down quotes

• Writing only “need a car tomorrow” with no time or destination.
• Not stating passenger count + suitcases (wrong capacity).
• Combining Borobudur + beach + Merapi in one day with no buffer.
• Requesting a child seat at the last minute.

Fix those four in your first message.

After confirmation: short checklist

• Save operations / driver WhatsApp contact.
• Prepare the official hotel address (not just an app nickname).
• For the airport: have your flight number ready.
• For temples / beaches: attraction tickets are usually yours to arrange unless agreed otherwise — see guides for Borobudur, Prambanan, Gunungkidul beaches, and Merapi.

Payment safety

Follow payment instructions written in the confirmation chat. Do not transfer to an account not named in our official conversation. Payment options are discussed after the quote — not before.
