When I Googled the best transportation options from Seminyak to Ubud, Seminyak Bali Driver was one of the first company’s to come up and I am so glad I found them.  Their website isn’t the shiniest but they offer everything a car and driver or taxi service should to fit my needs:

• Quick to respond to my email queries
• Very reasonably priced
• Easy to use
• Super friendly with great English

100% by Email

I’m not roaming on my phone, nor am I always confident that I will be understood over the phone, so having a car and driver (taxi) service that I can pre-reserve and have everything setup by email suits me perfectly.

Putu Martika is the owner and I have a feeling that he has a very bright smile from the way he communicates.  He replies very quickly and hasn’t yet seemed to get annoyed if I change the time on him.

Dependable & On Time

So far, my drivers have all arrived a bit early … yet they wait until the scheduled time to pop in to collect me which I appreciate.  They are friendly and the cars have all been clean’ish.  What I mean is they are tidy and maintained but it doesn’t look they wash them daily.  Given that they aren’t a luxury provider, they do a great job though!  A Toyota Innova looks to be their vehicle of choice and Putu told me that was for safety.
