Scooter Rental at Komodo Airport (LBJ): Free Delivery When You Land

Komodo International Airport (LBJ) is only about ten minutes from the centre of Labuan Bajo. That's close enough that many travellers would rather skip the taxi and simply ride into town. With Transbajo, you can.

How airport delivery works

1. Book on WhatsApp (or use the booking form on this site). Tell us your scooter, dates and flight number.
2. We keep an eye on arrivals. If your flight is delayed, we simply wait — no need to message us from the plane.
3. Meet at arrivals. Our team waits outside the arrivals hall with your scooter and helmets.
4. Ten-minute handover. We check your passport, licence and IDP, walk around the scooter with you, take photos of its condition together, and agree the deposit.
5. Ride off. Turn left out of the airport and you're in town in about ten minutes.

There's no extra charge for airport delivery or collection.

What about luggage?

This is the one catch. A scooter isn't built for a big suitcase. A few options:

• Light travellers: a backpack on your back plus a small bag in the footwell or under the seat works fine. The Honda PCX has the biggest under-seat compartment.
• Two people with bags: take a taxi to the hotel with the luggage and ask us to deliver the scooter there instead — still free.
• Big suitcases: let us know. We can sometimes arrange for your bags to go to the hotel by car while you ride. Ask when you book.

Please don't strap a full-size suitcase between your knees. It's not worth it.

Hotel and villa delivery

Not ready to ride the moment you land? No problem. We deliver to hotels, villas, homestays and dive shops across Labuan Bajo — Waecicu, Batu Gosok, the town centre, the road to Pede. Just send us the address or a Google Maps pin.

Returning the scooter at the airport

When you fly out, ride to the airport and we'll meet you at departures. Arrive at least 30 minutes before you want to check in, so there's plenty of time to check the bike and return your deposit. Leave the fuel at roughly the same level you got it — no need to fill it to the brim.

If your flight is early in the morning, we can collect from your hotel the night before instead.

Before you land

Make sure you have:

• Passport
• Motorcycle licence from home
• International Driving Permit with the motorcycle category (why it matters)
• Mobile data or Wi-Fi to message us — airport Wi-Fi works, or buy a local SIM in town

Tips for your first ride into town

• Indonesia drives on the left.
• The road from the airport is straightforward, but traffic picks up near the main street in the late afternoon.
• If you're arriving after dark and haven't ridden in a while, consider having the scooter delivered to your hotel the next morning instead.
