We always use a driver to help us to relax and enjoy our holiday more! It seems to be a bit of luxury that we can afford in Bali. Over the years we have used a few drivers but in the past three years or so we always use the services or an energetic youngish driver called Putu Putra. He is a safe but godd driver who knows his way around all parts of Bali. He speaks good English and also understands the different psyche of tourists - Aussie v European v Malasian v American etc His has become a friend of ours as well and last year we helped him (by way of a loan) to buy a brand new Toyota Innova 7 seater with dual air con. He can get good rates at most activities like elephant park etc He can help you to plan your trips and will also help in bargaining good prices. His rates are negotiable but are around Rp400 000 for a nine hour day including petrol. His mobile number in Bali is 081 2366 5584 or drop the first zero when diallinmg from overseas. Call or text him on that number. Or you can email him on pututour@yahoo.com He will certainly give good discounts for a week's work and has other contacts if he is not available.
