For decades we always self drove with me navigating - & remarkably we are still married despite everything Bali does to thwart your efforts to get from A to B - no signs, or signs obscured by trees, unexpected one-way streets, potholes, over-laden trucks etc etc.
Last year, though, husband & a friend got a driver & he swore he'd never self drive again. Much more relaxing. Sure, when at a destination, we'll get a vehicle to explore the area but never again from point to point.
I agree with what you say - everything should be included. I was commenting on what I have seen. If a driver is unsafe then get out asap, as I have said before. Many drivers do do it tough. Of course tipping is up to the individual. I rarely tip for any service unless very good. Good service should be rewarded, in Bali as anywhere.
