Traveler reviews
The experience
You get picked up and a driver who knows Batam's roads: no rental paperwork, no navigating traffic yourself, no guessing which way the island goes. The vehicle is air-conditioned and the driver speaks English, so directions and questions don't turn into a negotiation. The base rate covers 10 hours of driving and waiting. If you want to stay longer, it's $10 per hour after that. Travel outside the main area past the Barelang Bridge costs an extra $10.
This works for a day of island stops: markets, viewpoints, beaches, wherever you decide to go. The driver doesn't rush you through a fixed itinerary. You spend as long as you want at each place and move on when you're ready. Alhaj Transport has been moving tourists around Batam for years, working with visitors from Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, Europe and the US. The car stays with you the whole time, so you're not hunting for transport between stops or waiting for a shared van to fill up.
Children can ride. Infants sit on an adult's lap. The service runs from pickup until you're done, up to the 10-hour mark. If your plans run past that, let the driver know. The extra hours are straightforward to add on. Book the private driver option for a single vehicle and driver, or the premium service if you want something different. Both include pickup.
Is this one for you?Book this if you want to set your own stops and pace without joining a group tour or renting a car yourself. The driver handles the roads and you decide where to go and how long to stay.

How long can I keep the driver and car for?

What happens if I want to go beyond the main part of Batam?
Travel past the Barelang Bridge area costs an extra $10 on top of your hourly rate. The driver will let you know if a stop falls outside that zone.
Does the driver speak English?
