Two weeks ago, a Susuki jeep cost Rp450,000 for one day when booked at the Natour Hotel. I'm sure you could find one cheaper. I enjoy driving and the journey down along Kintamani lake was spectacular, especially going past villages that hardly see any tourists. But a car with a driver is cheaper than self-drive. In Lombok, the hotel wanted Rp 250,000 per day for self-drive and Rp 200,000 with a driver. In Kupang, West Timor, I paid Rp 200,000 for 12 hour rental of a part-time taxi (complete with radio). A taxi driver, plus car, was
Rp 10,000 per hour.
Enjoy, but shop around.
