What we do

Four ways to use a driver

Every price below is per car, not per person, and every one is a โ€œfromโ€ price for a standard 4-seat car.
  • A driver loading suitcases into the back of a car outside Ngurah Rai arrivals.

    Airport transfers

    Your driver waits at arrivals with your name on a card, at the price we agreed.

    from IDR 300,000per car, one way to the south

  • The view forward from a car on a narrow Bali road lined with palms.

    Day tours with a driver

    8โ€“10 hours, pickup anywhere in the south or Ubud, the route decided with you.

    from IDR 700,000per car, full day

  • A coastal mountain road curving along the east coast of Bali.

    Multi-day itineraries

    Three to seven days across the island, built around your hotels and your pace.

    from IDR 650,000per car, per day

  • A car waiting at the kerb in the evening while the driver stands beside it.

    Hourly & full-day hire

    Same driver all day, waiting while you're inside. Dinner, shopping, a wedding.

    from IDR 400,000per car, half day

Prices are set and charged in Indonesian rupiah. Other currencies are an approximate guide and move with the exchange rate. Every price is per car, not per person, and is a โ€œfromโ€ price for a standard 4-seat car (Avanza or similar): a 6โ€“7 seat MPV runs roughly 30โ€“50% more, an 8-seat HiAce van roughly double.

The driver

You're hiring a person, not an app

One regular driver, Balinese, lives here, and knows which road the ceremony closes, when Uluwatu clogs up, and which warung is worth the stop. For bigger groups he works with trusted colleague drivers he has partnered with for years.

The card below is a placeholder. Replace the name, village, year count, language list and sentence with the driver's own details.

Day tours

Six routes we drive every week

8โ€“10 hours, pickup anywhere in the south or Ubud. Standard full day IDR 700,000 per car. The long east and north loops are IDR 850,000 per car, because they run 10โ€“12 hours and burn a lot more fuel. Overtime beyond the agreed finish is IDR 100,000 per hour, charged in half hours.

The quieter version

Where we'd take you instead

Some of the famous places are worth the crowd โ€” Uluwatu at sunset earns it. But for most of them there's a version twenty minutes away with the same view and nobody in it. Here's the trade, plainly.
  • Everyone goes to

    Tegallalang rice terraces

    We'd take you to

    Belimbing terraces in Tabanan, or the Subak Juwuk Manis walk just outside Ubud

    Same view, no entry gate, no queue for the swing.

  • Everyone goes to

    Tegenungan waterfall

    We'd take you to

    Tibumana, or Gembleng in Karangasem

    Smaller, quieter, and you can actually swim.

  • Everyone goes to

    Besakih, the mother temple

    We'd take you to

    Pura Kehen in Bangli

    Ancient, carved, almost empty, and no compulsory guide at the gate.

  • Everyone goes to

    Canggu

    We'd take you to

    Seseh, ten minutes up the coast

    Black sand, warungs, no queue for a table.

  • Everyone goes to

    Ubud for a coffee with a rice view

    We'd take you to

    The family warungs on the lanes through Junjungan and Payangan

    Same paddies, local prices, nobody filming.

  • Everyone goes to

    A hotel pool

    We'd take you to

    Banjar hot springs near Lovina, early

    Stone dragon spouts, mostly Balinese families at that hour.

  • Everyone goes to

    Kuta sunset

    We'd take you to

    Balian on the west coast

    Surfers, driftwood, and the road out is empty.

Many of our drivers grew up in these villages. Tell us what kind of day you want and we'll build the route around it.

Multi-day

A route we build together

IDR 650,000 per day for the car and driver, plus IDR 250,000 per night when the driver stays away from home โ€” that covers his guesthouse and his meals, and it goes to him. Send your dates, your hotels and what you like; we send back a day-by-day plan with one number at the bottom.

    How it works

    Three steps, in order

      Message us with your dates

      WhatsApp is fastest. Tell us your flight, your hotel, and roughly what you want to do.

    2. 2

      We confirm a fixed price and a named driver

      One number, per car, in rupiah. Nothing is booked until you agree to it.

    3. 3

      He meets you at arrivals with a sign

      Your name on a card, past the crowd, at the time we agreed.

    • Price agreed before you book.

    Included

    What's included, and what isn't

    Included

    • Fuel
    • Parking
    • Tolls
    • The driver's own meal
    • Cold water
    • Air conditioning

    Not included

    • Your own meals
    • The tourist levy, IDR 150,000 per person per entry

    Overtime beyond the agreed finish is IDR 100,000 per hour, charged in half hours. We say so at the time, not on the invoice afterwards.

    Before you land

    Four things worth knowing

    Practical, and specific to Bali.
    • Grab and Gojek can't collect you at the airport.

      Ride-hailing pickups aren't permitted at Ngurah Rai arrivals, which is why the walk out of the terminal turns into a wall of people shouting โ€œtransport, boss.โ€ Book ahead and your driver is standing there with your name on a card.

    • Pay the tourist levy before you fly.

      Every foreign visitor pays IDR 150,000 per person, once per entry, including children. Pay on the official Love Bali portal, save the QR code as a screenshot, and don't use the lookalike sites that charge more. It's separate from your visa.

    • Traffic is a timing problem, not a distance problem.

      Canggu between 5 and 7pm, the single road on and off the Bukit before the Kecak dance, Ubud centre at midday. Nothing on the map explains it. Our drivers just leave earlier.

    • Ceremonies close roads, sometimes with no notice.

      A procession can shut a village for an hour. That isn't a delay in your day, it's the reason you came โ€” and your driver will know the way round it, or when it's better to stop and watch.

    • Nyepi is [NEXT_NYEPI_DATE], if your dates are close.

      The whole island shuts down for 24 hours. The airport closes, and nobody drives. If your trip touches that date, tell us early and we'll plan around it.
