For the same trip, choosing between a motorbike and a car depends on how many people are travelling, your luggage, the weather, and your budget. Here's a quick comparison.

When to choose SEVA Ride (motorbike)

  • You're travelling alone with light luggage (1 backpack or laptop bag, max. 10 kg).
  • You're short on time at rush hour and want to get through traffic.
  • You want the lowest fare: from Rp 8,000 + Rp 2,500/km.

When to choose SEVA Car (car)

  • You're travelling as two to four people, or with children.
  • You're carrying suitcases or shopping (about 2 medium suitcases + 2 backpacks).
  • It's raining or very hot, or it's a long trip such as to the airport.
  • Fares from Rp 9,500 + Rp 6,200/km.
