What a day with a private driver looks like
Tell us roughly what you want to see and we will suggest a loop that makes sense for the tides, the light and the traffic. Or hand your driver a list and let them work it out. Typical days: a beach-hop along the south coast with a long lunch at Selong Belanak; a Sade village and waterfall run to Benang Stokel; a photo day at Bukit Merese and Tanjung Aan; or a supply run to Mataram with a stop at the Epicentrum mall and a proper coffee.
Surfers
Chase the wind: dawn at Gerupuk, mid-morning check at Are Guling, afternoon at Selong Belanak when the west swell is small. Boards on the roof, wax in the glovebox. See our surf trips.
Families
Child seats, plenty of stops and a driver who knows which beaches have shade and calm water. Ask for a family loop.
Photographers and content creators
We know the sunrise spots, the empty roads and when the fishermen come in at Gerupuk. Tell us what you are after.
Why ride with us

Good to know
What is included in the price?
The car, the driver, fuel, tolls and parking for the agreed hours. Entrance fees, boat hire and meals are extra and paid as you go.
Can the driver be our guide?
Our drivers are not licensed guides but they know the island well and are happy to explain things, translate and negotiate at markets. For Rinjani and cultural sites we can add a licensed guide.
Can we start early or finish late?
Yes. The clock starts at pickup. A dawn start for sunrise at Bukit Merese is common.
Can you drive us around Lombok for several days?
Yes. Multi-day charters with the same driver are our favourite jobs. We plan the route with you and the driver stays near your accommodation each night.
