Denpasar, Bali, Feb 26 (Antara) - The Bali Provincial Association of Car Rental Entrepreneurs (Asperda) has expressed its readiness to support the transportation preparation for the delegations, ahead of the upcoming IMF-World Bank Group (IMF-WBG) Annual Meetings.

The general chairman of Asperda, Hermawan Jeffrivan, made the remarks here on Monday.

"We will provide the best services in order to support the biggest gathering," Jeffrivan pointed out.

According to him, his association has around 10 thousand vehicles (cars), and some of them can be made use to support the transportation affairs during the implementation of the IMF-WBG Annual Meetings.

Reflecting from previous experience when serving the needs of APEC Summit in 2013 and the visit of King Salman from Saudi Arabia, Hermawan remarked that most of the rental vehicles in Bali were supplied in the Asperda chapters of East Java, such as Surabaya, Sidoarjo, Jakarta, and Central Java.

The number of rental vehicles needed will also significantly increase, especially during the IMF-WBG meetings, which will be attended by about 15 thousand people or much more than those attending the APEC Summit, he explained.

So far, the rental vehicles that were widely booked included the luxury-type four-wheel vehicles such as Alphard and Camry sedan type.

In the meantime, deputy chairman of the Bali`s Asperda, Aryanto, revealed that the current price for the rental Alphard type was above Rp1 million, including fuel and driver for 10 hours of rental duration, and the price for rental Camry sedan was more than Rp2.1 million, including fuel and driver.

The annual meeting of IMF-WBG will be attended by more than 15 thousands participants, as well as delegations from 189 countries worldwide.

The meetings will bring together not only chiefs of the Central Bank and the finance minister but also investors and other companies around the world. The IMF-WBG Meetings will take place from Oct 8 to 14, 2018. (*)
