Private Car Charter to Ubud Area with English-Speaking Driver
You pick the stops, the driver handles the route and the roads.
A private car charter in Bali's Ubud area pairs you with an English-speaking driver for a full 10-hour day, with pickup included and an air-conditioned vehicle. You choose which attractions to visit (temples like Tirta Empul and Elephant Cave, the Tegalalang rice terraces, Ubud's markets and craft villages, waterfalls, or coffee farms), and the driver takes you there. Site tickets and meals are separate, so you build the day around what matters to you.

Traveler reviews
The experience
The charter works because you're not locked into a set itinerary. The driver speaks English and knows the region. You decide whether to spend the morning at Tegalalang Rice Terrace watching farmers work the stepped paddies, or start at Tirta Empul Temple's spring-fed pools, or head straight to Ubud Monkey Forest. The Ubud Art Market opens early and fills quickly. Elephant Cave sits in the hills north of town. Tegenungan Waterfall draws crowds by midday. Because the car is yours alone for ten hours, you move at your own pace and skip what doesn't appeal.
The vehicle is air-conditioned and the driver handles parking, so you step out ready to walk. Bottled water comes with the booking. If you want to watch the Barong and Keris dance, learn batik making, or visit the silver workshops in Celuk Village or wood carvers in Mas Village, the driver can take you there and wait while you work. Luwak coffee tastings and the huge swing attraction near Kintamani are options too. Each site charges its own entry fee (temples run 50,000 IDR, the rice terrace 10,000 IDR, the waterfall 20,000 IDR), so you pay only for what you enter.
The ten-hour window covers a full day of movement without rush. If you want to extend beyond that, additional hours run at USD 4 per hour. Pickup is included, so the driver collects you from your hotel or accommodation and brings you back at the end.
Is this one for you?Book this charter if you're traveling as a couple, a small family, or a group of friends who want to move together without following a fixed schedule. The private car means you set the pace and choose the stops, which works best when everyone in your group has similar interests or when you want flexibility to change plans mid-day.

Top questions
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
Can I visit Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tirta Empul Temple in the same day with this charter?
Yes. Both sit in the Ubud area and the driver can take you to each. Tegalalang is the stepped rice paddies north of Ubud town. Tirta Empul is the temple with the spring-fed bathing pools. The ten-hour charter gives you time to spend an hour or more at each, plus stops at other sites if you choose them.
What's included in the price and what do I pay separately?
The charter price covers the private car, driver, fuel, parking, air conditioning, bottled water and the ten-hour service. Entry tickets to any site (temples, the monkey forest, the rice terrace, waterfalls) are not included and you pay those at each location. Food and drinks beyond the bottled water are also separate.
Does the driver speak English the whole time?
Yes, the driver speaks English throughout the day. You can ask about the sites you're visiting, get directions to specific attractions, or ask for recommendations on where to stop next.
What happens if I want to stay longer than ten hours?
The charter runs for ten hours as standard. If you want more time, each additional hour costs USD 4 and is charged on top of the base price.
Can I visit craft workshops like the silver and gold jewelry makers in Celuk Village?
Yes. Celuk Village is known for its silver and gold workshops, and Mas Village for wood carving. The driver can take you to either or both. These are working villages where artisans make and sell their pieces, and you can watch the process or buy directly. There's no separate entry fee for the villages themselves.
