I don't have a separate data point to determine whether this is expensive or not.
This seems expensive tbh. When booked through Westin Ubud last week it was 144k/hour, which would still only be ~$115 for 12 hours. The next day, we had the same private driver take us from Westin Ubud, all the way north to several sites, then Jatiluwih rice fields, then back down to Sangeh monkey forest, then all the way down to StR Nusa Dua. It was about 11 hours. He quoted us 1mil IDR which is ~$67.
Btw - not sure whether this applies to all hotels, but Westin had private drivers on standby, so we were able to book one last min and they came in 5 mins after we asked hotel staff for one. So, probably not even necessary to go through Klook unless it's a mass price difference.
