Vehicle Rental and Hiring Drivers: how it works in Indonesia — first-hand

From real experience

tipWhen arranging transportation and tours in Bali, relying on reputable providers like MyBaliTrips or drivers recommended through trusted channels is advisable.
Clarify pricing structures (daily rates vs. route-specific) and avoid advance payments to unknown individuals. Understanding the terms of service and confirming details beforehand can prevent potential scams.
