Going rates for Grab / Driver hire
Hello,
I'm travelling to Bali this coming June with my wife and 3 kids. My travel plans are entirely outside of the main city area - I'll be moving from Gianyar, to Lovina, to Munduk over the course of 8 nights. Being a group of 5, I'll need a big car to move us all about, especially when we're moving between accommodations.
A few questions:
- Is it easy to get Grab pickups outside of the main touristy Ubud/Kuta areas? I don't want to be stranded out at say, one of the waterfalls. I think my destinations are mainly well-known tourist spots though, so hopefully that'll be alright.
- Will Grab drivers take bookings that bring you across the entire island? I'm thinking about the day when I need to travel to Lovina, and I'm hoping to detour via Kintamani.
- I'm wondering if hiring a driver for full days would be better. Could the good folks of r/bali give me a sense of what the going rate is for full-day vehicle hire, multiple day vehicle hire, and whether drivers will bring you all the way to Lovina if necessary?
Edit: and if anyone has a good contact for hire drivers with a big enough car, could you PM me?
Thanks in advance!
