TL;DR
A private driver with car in Bali costs around $80–90 per day, plus entrance fees. You can also find a driver on the spot via Grab.
A full-day private driver in Bali costs around $80–90, with the driver also acting as a guide. Entrance fees to attractions are paid separately. Drivers can be contacted via WhatsApp.
An easy way to find a private driver is to book a Grab ride (e.g. from the airport to your hotel) and negotiate a full-day trip directly with the driver during the ride.
On Java, the Maxim app offers lower prices than Grab for private drivers, but some drivers inflate costs — charging 200,000 IDR for a toll road that costs 80,000 IDR, or 200,000 IDR for parking that actually costs 5,000–10,000 IDR per spot. Always verify real rates in advance.
