We have the VERY BEST DRIVER IN BALI - his name is Wayan Seniasa and his telephone number is 0812 390 8577. We and around 15 of our friends have used him over the past 15 months. If you have not booked your hotel in advance the prices will be quoted in US$ - but as I am not sure where you come from - this may not be a problem.
We have stayed at the Sahid Bali Seaside Hotel which is smack bang in the middle of Kuta. It is a huge hotel with a variety of rooms and bungalows. The address is Jl Pantal Kuta - our driver usually operates out of this hotel - but he will go anywhere to pick you up or drop you off. You could read my previous posting in response to Harold - as Wayan is tops and it is hard to explain how he bends over backward for people.
Should you telephone him, tell him I recommended him - he calls me mum. He is also excellent with kids - we last visited in November 98 and friends of mine took their two boys around 7 and 10 years. They just loved Wayan and wanted to hang off him all the time. Our friends have travelled quite a bit as he works for Qantas - they said they have never had a better driver.
Hope this is a help - believe me you won't be disappointed.
