The Trans Java Toll Road has become the backbone of mobility on Java Island, connecting Merak to the eastern tip of Java with remarkable time efficiency. Entering 2026, the infrastructure along this route has matured further. It's not just about asphalt quality, but also the standard of facilities at Rest and Service Areas (TIP) that increasingly spoil drivers.
For those planning a business trip or a family holiday road trip, having a complete list of rest locations is a crucial strategy. This article is the most comprehensive guide to planning your stops.
Before reading the list below, understand the direction codes so you don't misjudge the location:
Understand the facilities you can expect based on the rest area type:
The starting and ending gates for residents of the capital city and surrounding areas.
Although not the main Trans Java route to the East, this is a vital southern tourism route.
The busiest section with the most rest area choices.
Long straight lanes requiring high concentration.
If the journey is part of the holiday, then these three rest areas are tourist destinations in themselves. We have selected locations with the most unique architectural concepts and experiences along Trans Java.
Often referred to as a "Mall in the Middle of a Toll Road," this location redefines the concept of rest. Its main attraction is the Skybridge that spans across the toll road, connecting building side A and side B. You can walk across while enjoying views of five mountains (Merapi, Merbabu, Sumbing, Sindoro, Ungaran). Its architecture resembling a majestic Joglo and a very complete selection of tenants (from branded retail to premium local culinary) make it the most luxurious stop in Central Java.
Located on the Pejagan-Pemalang section towards Jakarta, this place offers an unmatched atmosphere. Built on the site of the former Banjaratma Sugar Factory (established in 1908), the vintage terracotta red brick walls and old milling machines that have been preserved become a very Instagrammable backdrop. Here, you can hunt for Brebes' signature salted eggs or simply enjoy coffee inside an artistic cultural heritage building.
If you are looking for a moment of peace (healing) from the hustle and bustle of the toll road, Bale Nglaras on the Semarang-Solo section is the answer. Its uniqueness lies in the spacious Rooftop facility, where visitors can sit back and enjoy the cool air of Boyolali against the backdrop of the dashing Mount Merapi and Merbabu. The cow statue icon in the front area is also a unique marker that you are in the "City of Milk." It is highly recommended to stop by at sunset for the best view.
Memorizing rest locations is a smart move, but true travel comfort begins inside your car cabin. Crossing hundreds of kilometers from Jakarta to Probolinggo requires a vehicle that is not only tough but also pampers the driver.
For long routes like Trans Java, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro presents a first-class driving experience. With ergonomically designed seats (Business Class Seating) and active safety features ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), driver fatigue can be significantly minimized. The Adaptive Cruise Control feature will greatly help you maintain a safe distance automatically on long toll lanes.
Worried about taking an electric car out of town? With the Chery Omoda E5, that worry vanishes. SPKLU (Charging Station) infrastructure is now available in almost all Type A Rest Areas listed above. While you enjoy coffee at KM 456 or take photos at KM 260B, your Omoda E5 can charge quickly (Fast Charging). Its cost efficiency and silent performance make the Java-Bali touring trip a fun futuristic experience.
Remember: Safety is a priority. If tired, pull over. Rest areas are built for you, and Chery is designed to keep you safe until your destination.
