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.
What vehicles were they offering you? When I was looking at quotes, the cheaper prices were for much smaller and less comfortable vehicles.

I specifically requested for a Toyota Alphard which is a chauffeur / limo car in Asia. I believe on the island of Bali there's nothing more luxurious or spacious than an Alphard.
