... you are quoting are about right - the lower end of the range (250,00) is for a local half day and the higher end for a full day with more travelling. When we did some overnight trips we paid Rp400,000 per day plus a good tip at the end :-) We asked our driver about providing his meals / accommodation but he said he can normally stay with friends / family - or if not the hotel he takes you too will often provide him with something :-) Ditto the meals.
I'm sure there will be PLENTY of driver keen to secure a weeks worth of work! Just email with your dates and itinerary and ask for their best quote :-) I can recommend our driver (Wayan Adiarsa) and the drivers he has working for him (Wayan & Made) - his contact is www.wayanadiarsa.com
