8–10 hours • hotel pick-up

A full-day private driver in Bali is the most convenient option for families: you choose your own itinerary, adjust the pace for children, and combine several areas in one day without worrying about taxis or parking.

🕘 What’s Usually Included?

  • Private car with English/Indonesian-speaking driver for 8–10 hours.
  • Hotel pick-up and drop-off in most southern areas and Ubud.
  • Fuel and basic parking fees (varies by provider – always double-check).

💳 What Might Not Be Included?

  • Entry tickets for temples, waterfalls, attractions and shows.
  • Driver’s meals (sometimes included – check “What’s included” before you book).
  • Remote area surcharges or extra hours beyond 8–10 hours.

💵 Typical Prices (per day / per car)

  • Budget sedan: about $40–60 for ~8 hours.
  • Family minivan: around $60–90 (more space and comfort).
  • Extra hours: usually $6–10/hour, depending on provider and season.

Rates change with season and demand. For peak months (July–August, Christmas/New Year), book early and expect prices at the higher end of the range.

🧭 Suggested Full-Day Routes

Examples you can copy & send to driver

You can fully customize your day. Here are popular sample routes families often use; copy them and send to your driver via WhatsApp:

Always ask your driver if the route is realistic for one day; traffic in Bali can be slow, especially in Canggu/Seminyak/Kuta during rush hours.

👶 Using a Private Driver with Kids

  • Request a child seat in advance (may incur a small fee). Not every provider has them by default.
  • Plan shorter days or allow longer breaks for meals, naps and toilet stops.
  • Choose routes with kid-friendly stops (animal encounters, easy waterfalls, cafés with play areas).
  • Pack snacks, water and a small travel bag with essentials inside the car.

📱 How to Book a Bali Private Driver (Step-by-Step)

  1. Open the GetYourGuide links above and filter for top-rated private driver/car charter options.
  2. Check inclusions & extra-hour fees carefully (hours, fuel, parking, pick-up areas).
  3. Share your draft itinerary via WhatsApp/chat to confirm that all stops fit into the day.
  4. Confirm pick-up details – hotel name, room name, time, and driver’s contact/plate number.

Screenshots of your planned route (Google Maps) can help the driver estimate time more accurately.

🧾 Useful Policies & Small Print

  • Cancellation: many listings offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour – ideal if your plan is flexible.
  • Payment: usually online by card through GetYourGuide; some local providers accept cash for extra hours or add-ons.
  • Tipping: not mandatory but appreciated; $5–10/day is common for good service.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Traffic can be heavy in Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu and Denpasar – start early and avoid squeezing in too many far-apart stops.
  • Do not leave valuables visible in the car during stops. Use the trunk for bags when possible.
  • For temples, dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered); sarongs are often available at the entrance.
