Bali Taxi's (Taksi)
Regarding Taxi's - Look for the Light BLUE taxi's, they are very cheap (metred taxi), honest, friendly and air conditioned. All of those who I got, could understand me too, and speak a little English. If you get another taxi, you will need to bargain, or, if they have a metre, ask that they turn it on, it will ALWAYS be cheaper than your bargaining.
In Denpasar, use these 2 Taxi companies: Komotra - 499449 Bluebird - 7511111
In Kuta just use the light blue or darker blue taxi's, and ensure they turn on the metre. And in Ubud, you can walk everywhere, else, the street transport guys (Bemo) are your only option, I didn't see any cabs there. If you are going solo like me, then the cheapest way is to just get on the back of someone's scooter/motorbike, if you are going to another region, then car/van is best. I paid 80,000Rp ($13) to get from Ubud to Kuta, and 150,000Rp from Kuta to Ubud. I think 80,000Rp is a fairer price, they win, you win. It is an 1.5 hr drive afterall.
Day Trips If your bargaining skills are good, you can hire them for an entire day for 100-130,000Rp. On day trips you will be expected to buy meals for the driver, on over-night trips, you might be expected to pay for their accommodation.
