Does anyone have experience of taking a rental car to Java from Bali?
My Kijang has SR plates which, I think, identifies it as a rental car.
I have a letter from the owner giving consent and listing
1. the car details
2. the owner's ID & KTP number
3. my ID & passport number

Do I need anything else?
What hassle can I expect at Gilimanuk?
I'm used to the Rules Of The Road of driving in Bali (i.e. there are NO rules). Same in Java? Better? Worse?

Route
I'm heading to Yogya to look at furniture and Malang to look at plants.
My girl and I are going to travel slowly, stopping off at anything of touristic merit.
Does anyone want to offer any advice on routes?
Has the hot mud spillage in north java closed any roads?

Thanks
