all different prices for different things....I pay 400,000 plus I buy my driver lunch......this is for a very full day...airconditioned car and fairly good english...I had a new driver for most of this month, and was very happy with him. I changed driver's because my usual driver who normally charged 400,000 charged 500,000 last year...we gave him rather large tips and gifts for his children, and he seemed to start to take it all for granted...we don't mind generously tipping or helping out but when they start to expect and ask for things, it just doesn't feel right. It's really up to you, if you feel safe and comfortable with your driver and feel it is worth the 600,000, and you only use him a few days then no you are not being a skinflint.
