I think a lot of the "transport, transport" guys on the street, may charge you a cheap price BUT will take you on a "commission" tour. You may be lucky and find a good one but why take chances when there are great drivers... tried and tested by people who write on this forum.
My personal preferred driver is Komang Bajing. I see quite a few others recommend him here too..He has a comfortable minibus [double blower aircon] which takes 6 passengers. All seats have seatbelts, which is not so common in Bali. He is kind, considerate and great company. He takes you where you want to go... but would not be shy to suggest other great places you may have missed.
One time I asked him to take me to look for stone carvings in Batubulan. He suggested that we go to Singapadu, which is much cheaper. He also helped me choose the carvings... which was great fun. So many Buddahs... so many different faces!!!!
You can contact him komangbajing@yahoo.com or sms +628124667752
