Hi all I am returning to Bali in August for 14.5 days. I have a good friend who is also our driver when in Bali. We usually only book him for the days we wish to travel around the island sightseeing etc. This time I am going alone and looking to spend plenty of time with our friend. He actually does not know I am coming as I have told him it is a very close friend of mine travelling.
What I am looking at doing is booking him for my airport pickup but also for 14 full days. During this time there will be one day travelling to Lovina, one day returning to Kuta and 3 days visiting his family and their village. Other than that I am only thinking about going to Tanah Lot one evening and Uluwatu on another. The rest of the time I just want to pay him so he can take the time off from his driving job and spend time relaxing with me in and around Kuta. I am planning on paying for everything for him such as meals drinks etc. I have sms'd him asking for a price for supposedly my friend and he has replied whatever she wants to pay. I was thinking about paying him between 3.5 and 4.2 million rupiah for the entire 2 weeks.
I just want to hear others feedback as to whether this is a fair price as my last trip was Oct 05 (the time of the last bombing). If this is not a fair price what would you recommend?
Thanks
Jacqui
