Patu was an amazing driver. He went above and beyond. He greeted us with a lei. When our accomodations fell through, he voluntarily took us to a new hotel with a huge smile and said he was trying to help us. When we gave him a tip he tried to return it to us. I would highly recommend Patu.
On our recent trip to Bali, we utilized Joya Bali Driver and had the pleasure of working with Putu the entirety of our stay, whether it be for airport/hotel transfers or impromptu personalized day tours. Communication was breeze. He was always professional, safe, and made the drives through the bustling cities and winding back roads remarkably comfortable. We truly appreciated Putu’s desire to share his insight into the Balinese culture and information about the island as we toured the island with him. We 100% would recommend Putu and Joya Bali Driver and plan to use them whenever our travels take us back to Bali.
We had a wonderful experience with Putu during our trip to Bali. He was so friendly, clicked well with my kids that even they loved him. Excellent communication in English and very knowledgeable around Bali. Highly recommended!
Great service, on time, greeted with a frangipani necklace, polite. fresh bottled water in the car. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful experience with Joya Bali during our trip to Bali. He guided us throughout the journey, helped with commuting, and ensured we visited all the top tourist attractions. He played a key role in organizing and managing various activities, and his support was exceptional, especially in helping us care for and engage our 1-year-old infant. We highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Bali!
Need reliable and safe Private Driver from Airport to Hotel, getting around Denpasar area and travel to tourist locations across Bali. Here is reliable and safe driver with modern vehicle with air conditioning, working seat belts and street smarts who aims to give you an authentic Bali experience. We travelled across south and east Bali in August 2025 for 12 days and utilized our time to have the best experiences. Our driver Jali Ghazali contacted via WhatsApp (phone: +6281338799310) who has been driving since 2016 and is familiar with the roads, able to utilize shortcuts to get around traffic jams and aware of the best routes to get to places to avoid the big crowds. Important to have a driver that will look after you and can be hired for 4, 6, 8 hour blocks. Also, do look after your driver with meal allowance. Generally, traveling around the tourist places is crazy with crowds of people everywhere and walking around the narrow footpaths with offerrings is hazardous. If you are comfortable traveling on very narrow streets, in chaotic traffic that don’t follow conventional road rules and want to chance it with hiring car or a motor scooter to drive knock yourself out. Helmets are not optional and required by law. You can be pulled over by police and fined if caught or worse have an accident and fall off. The taxi service via car or scooters by Bluebird app is cheaper yet you will get bumped and could be waiting hours. Gojek app for taxi is slightly more expensive yet more reliable. Note: taxi fares via the app charge give one price yet charge minimum fare for short distances. Minimum fares can add up over the day. Remoter areas outside of Denpasar and Ubud, Nusa Dua, have limited or no taxi services. If you plan your day and commit to a private driver you will not have to worry about the hassle of driving, reading confusing maps, insurance, filling up/charging and parking. If you book ahead by at least 1-2 days you will get to see and have wonderful experiences that can be more relaxing, convenient and economical for day trips. If going longer distances (over 8 hours) you should put up cost for the driver to have overnight stay with accommodation and meal for safety. Enjoy Bali and support the local Balinese people.
Putu Ardy was really amazing from the booking to the actual tour. Putu was very responsive to make sure we received the tour that fit our family’s needs, and found us competitive prices for some of the activities, especially the ATV tour. Putu explained a lot during our drive, and even stayed with us for an extra two hours so we could do some shopping in Ubud Center. Definitely recommend using Putu for any of your Bali tours
Komang was our driver. I worked with Putu and Komang to build a bespoke tour for my family holiday to Bali. The company were helpful friendly and very accommodating. Komang is a very safe driver I would trust him 100%. His knowledge of the Temples was very good and his English good also. I would 100% recommend this company
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with our taxi driver in Bali. From the moment we were picked up, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and punctual. He made us feel comfortable and safe throughout our journey, navigating Bali’s roads with ease and confidence. Not only was his car spotless and well-maintained, but he also provided cold water and shared great local tips on places to visit, eat, and shop. He went above and beyond, even helping us take photos at scenic spots. His knowledge of the island and warm personality truly enhanced our trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bali!
We made a family trip to Bali between July 4th and 11th. I planned this trip for my wife's 40th, and did all the research from the US way back in February itself. Looked up several drivers including some popular ones on Instagram and those with better websites but still I ended up choosing Putu. He gave me the best responses on WhatsApp and pricing was intermediate. Putu was perfect. We felt really safe with him, drove very safely in the crazy Bali traffic, spoke English well and best of all got along with my kids aged 13, 11 and 9. This made our trip really special. Putu stayed with us the whole trip and I really liked that. I did not want a different driver every day. We had discussed the payments beforehand and I paid at the end of the day in IDR. There was one day I did not have the cash on hand, and I just paid him the next day. We did freelance tours everyday, and chose the ATV and Whitewater rafting package which I highly recommend. Since the traffic is so heavy in Bali, I felt that freelance was better as we could tailor it to how our family and kids felt like doing that day. Look no further, I highly recommend Putu!
Excellent service Putu is fantastic great English very helpful and friendly. Airport pick-up to Sanur. Day trip to Ullawatu and Denpasar. Highly recommend Putu. Thank you very much
Great service and coordination by Putu. Our trip was a breeze thanks to his planning and thorough knowledge of the tourism scene in Bali. The traffic on the island can be hectic, but he handled it with patience and efficiency, always prioritizing our safety. I would definitely recommend choosing Joya Bali Driver when visiting Bali!
Our driver Ketut was the best. He was ready & waiting for us among so many other drivers picking up arriving clients. We found him easily with the sign that had our name. He got us to our hotel in Nusa Dua in less than 20 minutes. He was very friendly and answered our questions about Bali. Would highly recommend.
Nice guy, who showed up just on time. Communication was on point and he got us to the destination safely.
We were lucky enough to have Putu as our driver for two weeks in Bali, and we couldn't be happier with his service. From day one, he was extremely friendly, and professional, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay to the fullest. His knowledge of the island is impressive; He took us to amazing places, some off the beaten path, which made our experience even more special. He was always willing to help us with recommendations, adjust our itinerary to our needs, and share interesting information about Balinese culture. Furthermore, his driving was safe and calm, which is essential in a place with chaotic traffic like Bali. We feel in good hands at all times. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly driver with excellent knowledge of Bali, do not hesitate to choose Putu. Thank you for making our trip an unforgettable experience!
Putu was awesome, very knowledgeable about everything, super prompt, just a great guy. Fantastic experience, next time in Indonesia we wouldn’t travel with anyone else. We swam in a waterfall together and had awesome foods all over Bali, twas a blast. We wanted to do a sunrise hike up a volcano (it was rough, I don’t recommend it) but Putu was there to grab us at 2:30am to do it..10/10 would recommend to anyone
Our driver, Putu was amazing! He was professional, punctual, accommodating, and such a joy to have as a host/driver. He took us to a lot of the popular Instagram worthy places, but also to a lot of the great local, hidden gems.
