How much does a private driver in Sulawesi cost?

Standard arrangements start from USD 75 per day for a private car, driver and fuel. The final quote depends on route, number of days, vehicle and distance. Send your itinerary for a route-based quote.

Are you a travel agency?

No. I am an independent local driver. You communicate directly with me about your route and trip, and you book hotels and activities yourself or with my suggestions.

Why hire a driver instead of renting a car yourself?

Roads in Sulawesi can be narrow, winding and busy with motorbikes and trucks, and distances are long. A local driver handles navigation, road conditions and timing so you can focus on the trip.

Can you pick me up at Makassar airport?

Yes. I do pick-ups and drop-offs at Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (UPG) in Makassar. Send your flight details with your request.

Can I plan my own itinerary?

Yes. Send your destinations and dates and we will build the most practical driving plan together. The sample itineraries above are only a starting point.

Can you drive long distances, for example Makassar to Tana Toraja or Tentena?

Yes. Long overland routes are possible depending on dates, vehicle and availability. Longer routes are often split over more than one day for comfort.

How many passengers can travel?

The Innova suits small groups of up to about 5 passengers. The HiAce can carry larger groups of up to about 10. Please mention your luggage when you ask.

No online payment is taken through this website. Send your request first; itinerary, availability and arrangements are agreed directly before the trip is confirmed.

What languages do you speak?

I communicate with guests in English. Bahasa Indonesia is my native language.
