← Private DriversHow much does a private driver cost for a day in Bali?
A full day with a private driver costs IDR 650,000–750,000 (~$40–46) for up to 4 passengers, and a half day (6 hours) costs IDR 450,000–520,000 (~$28–32). That is all-in: fuel, parking, tolls and the driver's meal are included, and there is no per-kilometre meter running while you explore.

Half day vs full day — which do you need?
- Half day (6h) — one destination or a compact loop: Tanah Lot at sunset, Uluwatu + Kecak fire dance, Ubud highlights (Tegallalang + Tirta Empul).
- Full day (10h) — the classic Bali day trip: Mount Batur sunrise, the east loop (Sidemen, Tirta Gangga, Lempuyang), or a Ubud-to-Uluwatu transfer-tour.
- Multi-day — 10% off from day 2, and you keep the same driver for the whole trip. Good for island loops or a relaxed east-Java extension.
Most travellers book a full day — the difference is only ~IDR 200K (~$12) and you never feel rushed at the sunset stops.
What does "all-in" actually include?
Fuel, parking, tolls and the driver's own meal. The price you agree on WhatsApp is the price you pay — no surge pricing, no "extra for air conditioning", no surprise per-hour overages. If your itinerary runs past the booked hours, the extra hour is IDR 75K and it is agreed before the trip, not discovered afterwards.
Sample full-day itinerary: the classic south loop
- 8:00 AM — pickup from your hotel or villa.
- 9:30 AM — Tegalalang rice terraces before the tour buses arrive.
- 11:30 AM — Tirta Empul water temple.
- 1:00 PM — lunch at a local warung your driver recommends.
- 3:30 PM — Uluwatu temple at golden hour, then the Kecak fire dance at sunset.
- 7:30 PM — dinner in Jimbaran or drop-off back at your hotel.
