TL;DR

Hotels in Bali can often arrange a driver with as little as 15–20 minutes' notice, or you can pre-book the same driver for your return. One Nusa Dua–Sekumpul Waterfall–Banyan Tree–Uluwatu itinerary cost IDR 900,000.

What the community said

For Sekumpul Waterfall, consider arriving in the evening, staying in a nearby guesthouse, and visiting with a guide early before crowds build up. Arrange for your driver to collect you at a set time, such as 10:00; a Nusa Dua–Sekumpul–Banyan Tree–Uluwatu route cost IDR 900,000.

Airport pickup can be arranged in advance: the driver waits in the arrivals area with a name sign and takes you directly to your hotel. It is a convenient option after a long flight when you do not want to negotiate transport on arrival.

If your plans are last-minute, ask at your hotel reception: they may be able to find a driver within about 15–20 minutes. State the complete itinerary and agree on the total price before leaving, rather than only the fare for one leg.
