The going rate may be between 350-400.000rp for the day BUT I think that's way too cheap. I paid 500.000rp, filled the petrol tank up and my driver ate when and where with me. The same driver takes me around Bali 3-4x a week and when he runs me to the airport I give him 100.000rp which is still cheaper than getting a cab at home.
I calculated, for the day @ 350.000rp, he'd be making a little over Au$50.
Deduct costs, divide by 8...and I am ashamed that we RIP THEM OFF!
