I spoke to several taxi drivers on our last trip and they have to pay the owners of the cabs 100,000rp a day to rent the taxi. Some of them are lucky to get anywhere near that in a day. I forgot to ask if they had to pay for petrol also. I assume they would. I always gave more on each cab trip and they were very appreciative although I felt with some they would have liked for me to give them the 100,000rp.
