TL;DR

Hiring a driver for a full day (10-12 hours) typically costs 700,000-1,000,000 IDR on mainland Bali, with room for negotiation. On Nusa Penida island prices are higher due to ferry logistics: 1,200,000 IDR for one side (east or west) or 1,500,000 IDR for both.

What the community said

A full-day route from Nusa Dua to Ubud with several stops was quoted at 1,000,000 IDR — travelers confirm this is a fair price, not a scam.

A villa offered a driver for 12 hours at 900,000 IDR for a trip to Amed — within the reasonable price range for a longer journey.
