Monte from this forum recomended a driver and I looked up his website and got in contact with him before we went.
We were not disappointed... Putu is a lovely man with a fantastic nature. We got him to drive us around doing stuff for 2 days. He was an extremely safe driver (important with our 6 month old and 3yr old in the car), really interesting to talk to, knew where he was going and really helped us out with what prices we should be aiming for with our bargaining. He doesn't accept commission from shops so he saved us a lot of money too... in fact one shop he forgot to tell that he wouldn't accept commission and the lady slipped it to him at the end and he handed it straight back to us when he got in the car.
He is very knowledgable on the Balinese culture and history and loves to tell you about it if you want to know.
His rate is 300,000 rp for the day which is so reasonable. He is also totally trust worthy... as he said he would much rather make his customers happy and have repeat bussiness than make extra cash and have unhappy customers who never come back.
We also gave him our infant carseat when we left so if you need a driver with one of these then he is your man :O)
his web site is www.arjunachariots.com
