How much does a private driver cost per day in Bali?
Checked October 2026 · 2 sources
A private driver with a car usually costs about IDR 600,000 to 1,000,000 per day (roughly US$37 to 62). The price is per car, not per person, and normally covers 10 to 12 hours, fuel and the driver. Entrance fees, meals and small parking charges are extra.
In detail
Prices depend on the size of the car, how far you go and how long you are out. Trips to the far north, east or west, such as Lovina or Amed, often cost more. Some drivers offer half-day rates for shorter outings.
Parking fees at temples and beaches are small, usually a few thousand rupiah, so carry small notes. Agree on overtime charges and drop-off times before the day starts.
Tipping is not required but is appreciated. IDR 50,000 to 100,000 per day is common for good service. Booking a driver through your villa or a trusted agency is the easiest way to get a licensed, insured driver.
