If you are planning a trip to Bali, you may want to know how much it costs to hire a private car with an English-speaking local driver.

Hiring a private car and driver is a comfortable way to explore Bali. You can choose the places you want to visit, and your driver can help you arrange a practical route based on your hotel location and available time.

The price depends on the type of car, number of passengers, service duration and the destinations you want to visit.

Bali Private Car and Driver Service

A private car with driver gives you more flexibility during your Bali holiday.

You do not need to follow a fixed group tour schedule. You can discuss your places of interest with your driver and arrange the trip based on your plans.

Your English-speaking local driver can also help with simple things during the trip, such as:

• Suggesting places to visit
• Helping arrange a practical route
• Sharing local information
• Helping you manage your time
• Giving simple tips about the places you visit

The service is a private driver service, not a professional tour guide service.

What Is the Difference Between Regular and Remote Service?

Not all places in Bali need the same amount of driving time.

Regular Full-Day Service

The regular service is suitable for many destinations in South and Central Bali.

Some examples are:

Ubud • Tanah Lot • Uluwatu • Kintamani • Bedugul

The service is up to 10 hours.

Remote Full-Day Service

Some destinations are farther away and need more driving time.

Examples include:

Besakih • Sekumpul Waterfall • Banyumala Waterfall

For these places, a remote service can be more suitable.

Extended Remote Service

For longer trips to East or North Bali, an extended service can give you more time on the road.

Examples include:

Lempuyang • Candidasa • Tulamben • Lovina

If you are not sure which service is suitable for your trip, you can send us your hotel location and the places you want to visit. We can help you choose the appropriate service.

What Is Included in the Private Car Hire?

• Air-conditioned private car

Is This Service Good for a Customized Bali Trip?

Yes.

For example, you may want to visit:

Rice terraces • Waterfalls • Temples • Beaches • Villages • Bali viewpoints • Cultural places

Your driver can help you check whether the places can be combined in one day and suggest a practical route.

For a normal Bali day trip, you can bring:

• Comfortable clothes and shoes

If you plan to visit temples, it is useful to bring or wear a sarong.

How to Choose the Right Bali Driver Service?

Before booking, you can send us:
