We usually pay 400,000rp per day, depending on kilometres. If we cover lots of km, maybe more. If the driver goes over and above all the more reason to compensate accordingly. (I might add if we have been driven by a crazy driver or one who has tried to take us into places we havent wanted, then I have penalised them too!).
I pay around 200,000rp for half day.
I like it to be win, win! (An extra 50,000rp out of our pocket isnt going to break the bank!) You may be able to 'screw' a driver down to less, but in all fairness, we all have to earn a 'dollar' along the way, so why be mean.
