In Reply to: hire a driver posted by dreamer on Tuesday, 7. August 2007 at 19:26 Bali Time:
I agree -- hiring a driver can be cheaper and much more convenient than using taxis all day. My wife and I hired a man named Agus (http://heyboss.biz/) for a couple day trips (one was all shopping). He spoke good English and he was extremely knowledgeable about the island (where to go for shopping, everything). He was an all around good guy -- so I promised I would post some reviews on travel websites. Really and truly you can throw a rock in Bali and find someone who is ready, willing, and able to drive you around for the day, but I think it's good to go on someone's recommendation. Agus charges about 380,000 IDR for an entire day -- this is an amazing rate (this is the total charge, including the car rental). His e-mail is gil.agus@hotmail.com, phone is (62) 081.2394.2814. Hope this helps. Have a great time on the island of the gods!
