1 way to reject the ojek/driver offer without being offending them, Ah Bang tak mau ma, saya cari lagi lo.. (with a smile, i add the ma and lo to make the conversation less formal but i not sure if it is the correct way to say it.)

My Translation = Brother you don't want what, i find others lo

However, my sentence i know sure wrong but so far they understand and had no issue with it
Maybe you can just say "Maaf Pak, terlalu mahal dikit, biasanya saya bayar lebih kurang" translate to "Sorry sir, a little too expensive, I usually pay lesser to the ojek/teksi.

By saying so you did not mention that you are going to look for another ojek if he charge you too expensive so he will not get offended in this way.

Then he will realise that you seems to know the market rate for the journey and eventually will most likely to accept your offer...

Just my opinon, may not be 100% effective....
