Private driver with a car in Lombok

Book a local driver for a half-day or full-day trip in Lombok. From IDR 650,000 per day — vehicle, fuel and driver included.

Find a driver in Lombok

Lombok has far fewer taxis than Bali and almost no reliable ride-hailing outside Mataram and Kuta, so getting between the south-coast beaches, the Senggigi strip and the northern waterfalls is difficult without your own transport. A private driver with a car turns a full day of scattered stops into a single easy booking.

Why travellers hire a driver in Lombok

Ride-hailing coverage is patchy; getting a car back from a remote beach can take a long time.
Beaches on the south coast are separated by hills and unsealed access roads.
Ferry and fast-boat harbours for the Gili Islands need timed transfers.
One driver for the day is normally cheaper than several one-way trips.
