Indonesia Caps Ride-Hailing Platform Fees at 8%
Indonesia has adopted a regulation capping fees charged by digital ride-hailing platforms at 8 percent.
The government and House of Representatives said discussions on the regulation were completed on October 8, 2026.
The rules cover other parts of digital transportation, including platform systems, partnerships, social security and employment.
The Indonesian Consumers Foundation says companies must not respond by raising fares, adding charges or reducing service quality.
It also wants clear fare breakdowns, government monitoring and a role for consumers in fare discussions.
The group says any changes should not make rides less affordable or weaken passenger safety and complaint handling.
The regulation’s impact will depend on how authorities enforce it and how platforms adjust their businesses.
Indonesia has capped digital ride-hailing platform fees at 8 percent under Presidential Regulation No. 27 of 2026.
