The experience

Bali's limited public transportation makes renting a private car the practical choice for seeing what actually interests you. The driver picks you up at your hotel and takes you anywhere on the island you want to go: no fixed route, no group schedule, no negotiating with strangers at a transport hub. You spend the day moving between your own choices: the famed rice terraces around Ubud, the surf breaks on the coast, a climb up Mount Batur, a spa or restaurant you found online, a temple, a market. The driver waits at each stop while you spend as long as you want there.

The vehicle is modern and air-conditioned, which matters on a full day in the heat. Bottled water is included. Your driver speaks English, so you can ask for directions to a place you heard about, get a recommendation, or simply sit quietly if that's what the day calls for. If you want to venture into the far reaches (the east coast around Amed and Lempuyang, the waterfalls in the north, the west coast near Pemuteran), there's a flat surcharge of $25 per car, paid directly to the driver. The standard day runs 10 hours. If you need more time, it's $5 per extra hour.

Pickup happens at 8:30 am from your hotel in one of the main tourist areas, though you can request a different time when you book. If you're staying outside those zones or want to be dropped at a different hotel than the one you started from, let the operator know and they'll arrange it. The car holds up to five people, so it works for a solo traveler, a couple, a small family or a group of friends splitting the cost.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 11 years); Infant (under 4).

Can I pick my own stops, or does the driver have a set route?

You choose where to go. The driver takes you anywhere on the island you want to visit. There's no fixed itinerary. You decide how long to spend at each place, and the driver waits for you.

What areas of Bali can the driver take me to?

The driver covers the whole island, including Ubud, the beaches, Mount Batur, and the rice terraces. If you want to go to the far east coast (Amed, Lempuyang), the north (Lovina, waterfalls), or the west coast (Pemuteran), there's an extra $25 charge per car for the longer distance.

What's included in the rental, and what do I need to pay for separately?

The rental includes the vehicle, the driver, hotel pickup and drop-off, air conditioning, and bottled water. You pay separately for any food, drinks, restaurant meals, and entrance fees to attractions: the driver doesn't cover those.

What time does the driver pick me up, and can I change it?

Standard pickup is 8:30 am from your hotel. If you need a different time, mention it when you book and the operator will arrange it.

How many people can fit in the car?

The car holds up to five people per booking. If you need transport for more than five, you'd book a second vehicle.

What if I want to stay out longer than 10 hours?

The standard rental is 10 hours. If you need extra time, it costs $5 per additional hour, and you can pay the driver directly.
