To ColtSeavers.... actually what the other bros are saying is that THEY WILL NEVER ADVISE YOU TO RENT THE MOTORCYCLE. but if you do want to rent, there are quite a few. actually, if you do have the budget, you can also rent a car for 1 whole day for something like 150.000-300.000 rupiahs (depending on the type of vehicle you will be renting.... a sedan, a minivan, or a full-sized van). my suggestion, if you want to rent, you can check any of the dailies or tabloids that circulate in batam. again, you really have to haggle with the price because, if they know you are not ann indonesian, they will sure as hell "top-up" their prices....
and oh, i almost forgot. if you do rent a vehicle, be careful with the traffic as indonesian drivers are perhaps one of the most reckless (pls note, one of the most, i didn't say they are) drivers in the world....
