The best way to reach Bali is by airplane and many regional airlines (including budget airlines) fly here. One of the nice things about the Bali airport is that it is very near to the famous Kuta Beach and Denpasar town. Furthermore, it is situated just next to the sea which offers very good views when taking off or landing during a clear sunny day (see photos). Visit the travelogue section of this VT page if you want to see beautiful views of Kuta and surroundings from the air.

It is cheap to go by a cab, try to find a nice cabdriver and use him during your holiday, you could expect to pay 350000 Rupiah for a day (12 hours).
I had the great oppertunity to meet mr Dipa Dewa, Taxi no 099 from the company Kowinu Bali, all their cabs are golden so they are easy to recognice.
Mr Dipa drove us around all over Bali and he was an exellent guide, he also invited us to his home where we met his wonderful wife and pretty daughters. Give him a call and I can guarantee that your stay at Bali will be somthing extra. Ask for cab no 099 if you call his company Kowinu Bali

Most of the taxi in Kuta are running their meter. Most reliable company is Blue Bird. It's easier, faster and cheaper to take a cab everywhere. You can get around less than 10,000 rupiah within Kuta.
If you like the taxi driver, you can ask him if you can hire him for the day or couple hours or ask his mobile nos so you can call him anytime you need a cab

Moving around Kuta is really easy. You could take a walk from Hard Rock to Kuta Square and if you are tired you call always take the bluebird taxi which is charged according to the meter. If you decide to drive yourself, just take note that the roads are mainly one way, and it could just take a longer time to reach your destination than if you walk. Here is a map of Kuta if you decide to discover Kuta by yourself.

P.S. A bluebird taxi from Kuta Square to Hard Rock Hotel costs less than US$1.

If you need to take a taxi while at Kuta, I suggest you take the Bluebird Taxi (see photo) as these taxis are safer and more reliable when it come to taxi fare. There are other taxis but try not to take them if possible.

kuta-legian-seminyak area is accessible by foot. but the best way to exploring places nearby is using car or motorcycle. since you can go further to the neighbour areas like denpasar and kuta. my latest trip with my best friend rika, we rent suzuki katana idr100,000 per day and bring along city map. it's nice and interesting. but you can hire a driver also and tell your own itinerary.
