What About Waiting Time and Extra Hours?

Waiting time is typically included in the daily rate for a private driver in Bali. Your driver will wait while you explore attractions, enjoy meals, or relax at beach clubs. However:

  • Standard daily hire is usually 10 hours, with additional charges of around 100,000 IDR per extra hour
  • Communication is crucial – use WhatsApp to keep your driver informed about timing changes
  • Let your driver know 10-20 minutes before you’re ready to leave a location
  • Discuss overtime fees in advance if you think you might exceed the standard hours
