For myself,i have tested countless times,the lower i pay,the better the quality of service. An experience i accumulated over my last 3 plus years in Batam.

And yes,i agree..to each his own and chemistry do play a role too.

Found the below inside my info vault,hope it helps,..but i think the quoted price may have gone up a little since its dated around the beginning of last year.

For myself,my 16 seater cost me about 1.1 juta (becos i bought him meals as well),the last time i use them but not the same driver from the above link. He is a taxi driver who rent a 16 seater to pick up me and my friends (2D1N).

Below is a hotel transport price list mainly just for your price referencing (as they are expensive), as i often use it to serve as a guideline to bargain down the price by about 35% to 50%.


You may have to ask around any taxi you happen to use. Full 'day' normal taxi with 4 seats cost about 200k to 350k (but not till night time 930pm) after bargaining. Brought me as far as Pulau Galang,ex Vietnam camp. Some of my other friends who were a bit lazy to bargain for a better price took the 400k/day taxi. Others i read over the internet can pay as high as 800k for a 4 seater taxi.
