My husband and I need a driver from Hallstatt to Melk and Durnstein to Bratislava. Any recommendations?

Private drivers are very uncommon in Austria. People travel either by public transport or rent a car if they don't have an own.
But if money is not a limiting factor it will not be difficult to find a taxi service for yor desired travel.

I've used Daytrip.com from Hallstatt to Salzburg, worked out okay. He didn't look to rare. Also used them from Bratislava to Budapest once.

I've used Daytrip 3 times and have been very pleased with the drivers provided. The company also offers stops for sight-seeing along the way. As with everything, the service has grown considerably more expensive over the last few years but is probably worth a check...

My recommendation is to use public transport like everyone else. It isn’t gross or hard and it is often faster.

Most of the time I am with Emily on this. The two times I used DayTrip.com was because of stops I wanted to make along the way and the driver did away with multiple trains, then buses and taxis from and back to train stations at my intermediate stops. But door to door A to B in a nice car isn't terrible either.
