Heading to Bali (Seminyak and Ubud) and will be needing a driver for a few days here and there. Does anyone have a tried and true recommendation for a private driver (will stick with Bluebird taxis for shorter trips)? Thanks in advance!

Call any hotel and they will recommend one. usually around $40 between semiyak and ubud.

Thanks! Will ask at my hotels if I don't pre arrange one ahead of time.

Kadek ([email protected]) was a great guy based out of Ubud that we did a full day trip to the UNESCO rice fields and waterfalls. They also have a clean and cute small family run lodgings if you are in need. Search "sukas house ubud" and you'll see lots of pictures.

Thank you!

I have family in Bali that are drivers. I can get you some contact info if you want.

That would be great - thanks!

My cousin's name is ketut Darpun and his cell is 081338738285. Just call him when u r there and he can help u out. He is a driver for foreigners.

Thank you!

Murniati Wayan is my cousin...her husband is a driver too if you need

.

We were there in May and the going rate for 8-10 hours with a driver was $45 bucks divided by 3 people. He has wifi in his car and his name is Adex. He has what's app +62 818 05323268

Awesome! Thank you!!

Dewa Jernat, he has a Facebook page. I highly recommend him, our family used him when we visited Bali, u won't be disappointed.

Thanks Daphne! There's several people with the same name coming up here on FB. Can you confirm which one he is? Also, do you remember his approx. rate?

I was just in Bali a couple of weeks ago. A few friends took the shuttle bus that takes you from Seminyak to Ubud. They got picked up right from our hostel. I believe the cost is 70,000 IDR.

Perfect! That'll save me one taxi trip! Thanks!

No problem, where bouts in Seminyak are you staying? I found a pretty cheap laundry place near Legian beach after reading reviews online. They charge 20,000 IDR per kilo. Let me know if you need help finding anything.

Am staying in that area too so I'll keep that in mind! Top 5 see/eat there?

You should check out Potato Head Beach Club. The ceviche and cocktails were really good. Should definitely grab a seat on the beach and grab a drink. Breakfast at Coffee Corner is good and if you're looking for a quick bite Koko Bar and Restaurant was pretty good.
I didn't do a whole lot in Bali, just eat, drink and relax on the beach.
If you want to go check out a mall, there's one connected to the Sheraton Hotel.
If you want the location of a night market not too far, let me know.

Pak Gede Sideman, Padang Bai. An awesome man and very good driver

Thanks!!

He's the one posing with an elephant, beside his name says bali tour services. He charges like IDR 50,000 a day for a car which can fit up to 5-7 pax. He will even pick U up form the airport. U can check his Facebook and see the places he takes tourists too! He is highly recommended by many people!

Thank you! I like that I can add him on FB before hiring a semi stranger.
I will message him based on your recommendation!
