The Toyota Innova is the middle of the Komodo Car Hire fleet: a seven-seat MPV supplied with a local driver, quoted in USD per day, and built for the kind of roads you actually meet on Flores. As of 2026 our indicative rate is roughly USD 50–70 for a full-day hire around Komodo Airport (LBJ) and Labuan Bajo town, confirmed in writing before you commit. It is the vehicle we recommend when a group is too large for an Avanza and does not yet need a HiAce. Komodo Car Hire is operated under Komodo Luxury since 2015.
Who should hire a Toyota Innova in Komodo?
The Innova earns its place through durability rather than badge value. The long-running Kijang Innova, the ladder-frame diesel generation still working hard across Flores, has torque low in the rev range, generous ground clearance and suspension that tolerates broken tarmac. For a visitor that means a car which stays composed on the climbs out of Labuan Bajo instead of straining.
- Four to five adults with checked luggage moving from LBJ to a hotel, villa or marina.
- Families who want a middle row that can be folded to swallow bags rather than juggling suitcases on laps.
- Day-tour groups covering Batu Cermin, Melo, Rangko and the western viewpoints in one block.
- Overland travellers heading east on the Trans-Flores road, where a high-clearance diesel MPV is the sensible middle path between a small car and a full SUV.
If your group is six or more with full luggage, do not squeeze: move up to Toyota HiAce hire. Forcing seven passengers and seven suitcases into one Innova is the most common booking mistake we correct at enquiry stage.
What are the Toyota Innova’s specifications and luggage limits?
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Seating | 7 seats (2-3-2); some units in a 6-seat captain-chair layout |
| Comfortable with luggage | 4 adults + 4 medium suitcases, or 5 adults with cabin bags |
| Maximum passengers | 6 guests plus driver, luggage kept light |
| Engine | Diesel, automatic or manual depending on the unit assigned |
| Ground clearance | Raised MPV clearance; comfortable on rough sealed and gravel village access |
| Climate | Front air conditioning with rear blowers for the second and third rows |
| Not suitable for | Serious off-road tracks, river crossings, rough highland village approaches |
Two limits are worth stating before you book. Luggage: the third row eats almost all of the boot, so a seven-passenger Innova is a short-transfer vehicle rather than a touring one. Terrain: the Innova covers most of Flores comfortably, but the final approach to Denge for the Wae Rebo trek is normally worked with a higher-clearance vehicle.
What is included when you hire an Innova with driver?
Every Innova is quoted with a driver as standard. On Flores that is a practical judgement rather than an upsell: roads are winding, parking at harbours and trailheads is informal, and phone coverage thins out between towns.
- Local professional driver, with working English available when requested at booking.
- Fuel for the agreed route, plus parking and road fees, written into the quote so there is nothing to settle at the roadside.
- Drinking water and phone charging on board.
- Pickup at Komodo Airport (LBJ), your hotel, the harbour or the marina area.
- Child seat on request, subject to availability — ask at enquiry, not on arrival.
- Itinerary flexibility inside your hire block, within safe driving hours.
Daily and multi-day chauffeured arrangements are set out on Komodo car hire with driver.
Diesel Innova, hybrid Zenix, or EV — which should you take as of 2026?
These are three answers to three different trips.
- Diesel Innova — the durable choice for long driving days, overland legs and mixed road surfaces. Refuelling is straightforward anywhere along the Trans-Flores route.
- Innova Zenix — the newer petrol-hybrid generation, quieter and more economical in stop-start town driving. If your itinerary is mostly airport, hotel and town, see Toyota Innova Zenix hire.
- Battery-electric — genuinely available for short in-town use, and genuinely limited beyond it. Charging points around Labuan Bajo are few as of 2026, so we quote EV only where the route returns to a charger the same day.
The Innova itself is not electrified, and we would rather state that plainly than sell you a range problem on a mountain road.
How do you book an Innova?
- Send dates, passenger count and the real number of suitcases by WhatsApp or email.
- Describe the shape of the day — airport pickup, half-day block, full day, or multi-day overland.
- Receive a written USD quote naming the vehicle class, hours, route scope and inclusions.
- Confirm and share flight or vessel details so pickup follows your actual arrival, not the schedule.
- Meet your driver at the agreed point; contact details are sent before the day.
Availability tightens sharply between June and September, and Innova units are the first to go in that window. Pre-book several weeks ahead if you are travelling in high season.
How much does Toyota Innova hire cost in USD?

| Half day, up to 5 hours, town and near area | from approx. USD 35–50 |
| Full day, up to 12 hours, Komodo and Labuan Bajo area | from approx. USD 50–70 |

Disclaimer: these figures are indicative for 2026 planning and are not an offer. Final pricing depends on dates, season, distance, hours, the unit assigned, and whether driver accommodation or one-way drop applies on overland routes. The rate that counts is the one written in your quote. Full bands across the fleet are on the Komodo car hire price list.
Frequently asked questions
How many people and suitcases fit in a Toyota Innova?
Four adults with four medium suitcases is the comfortable load, and five adults works with cabin bags. Six guests plus driver is possible for short transfers with light luggage only. Beyond that, take a HiAce or a second vehicle.
Can I hire an Innova without a driver?
Our Innova hire is quoted with a driver as standard. Self-drive is not how this fleet operates in the Komodo region, for reasons of road conditions, informal parking at harbours and trailheads, and support if something goes wrong outside town.
Is the Innova suitable for the drive to Ruteng, Bajawa or Kelimutu?
Yes for the sealed Trans-Flores route and standard village access, which covers most overland itineraries. Day splits, driver accommodation and one-way drops are confirmed per route before you travel, and your driver will advise where the vehicle stops on rougher final approaches.
Do you handle early or delayed flights at Komodo Airport (LBJ)?
Yes. Share your flight number when you confirm and pickup is tracked against actual arrival. Early-morning and late-evening movements are quoted normally — just state the time at enquiry so the driver is scheduled properly.
