I've lived in Jakarta a long long time (on and off 17 years).. so I realise the "hardships" all the indonesians are facing.. the fuel hike... and everything else that goes along with it.
I must also add that car hire/driver etc is actually cheaper in Bali than it is in Jakarta... :)
But my partner (he's indonesian) and I (aussie) were both suprised that he quoted 450 thousand.. it is a dearer price than what we paid him two months ago(he didnt even have to speak english with us - fluent in Bahasa)
However as I mentioned above..once he said it was from 9am till 9pm .. i reckon 450 thousand is worth it :)
