to carry tourists, as a business, then they also need to register for the 5 year licence to carry tourists (or the one to rent a vehicle to tourists) and that is 5 million for 5 years and every 6 months a further 600,000 IDR, they are doing a lot of checks, we got pulled over for the first time the other day for this. 19 drivers went to jail
A lot of people just jump in the car with anyone giving them a good price but it is not fair to the drivers who actually do the right things and register correctly (they will have a small square metal plate attached to their registration plate with a small blue world symbol on it). 19 drivers went to jail last week.
