He literally saved us from haggling and other BS tourist traps, Big thanks to him! He became our regular go to guy for short and long trips. I can provide his number if anyone is interested. Also dropped us off at the airport from conrad for around 100,000 IDR.
A year ago, waiting time was 35k IDR per hour for Uber. If you're not driving too far, and want them to wait, keep that in mind. Do check your Uber receipts. One driver showed we had driven 60-70kms, even though it was less than 10km, mostly waiting.
You can often hire a full day driver (8-12 hours) for 500-700K IDR. Just don't let them take you to tourist shops you don't want to go to.
Normal fare from Benoa to Airport should be 45-80k, depending if you take the toll bridge, and traffic.
