Hi Lola,
You dont barter with taxi drivers. That has been my experience anyway.
When you come out of the airport doors go to the right and that is where you organise your transport. This is done at a fixed price. i cant remember how much though. Maybe around 35,000 to 40,000Rp to legian. From memory its listed on the counter what you should pay.
These guys do this everyday so they should know where your hotel is. just a note dont let them help you with your luggage or they will have their hand out once you get to the taxi. i get done everytime lol But at the end of the day they need the money more then i do.
When travelling around bali the blue taxis all have meters so you just pay whats on the meter. just make sure they turn it on. i cant comment on other taxis as i have only used blue taxis.
Have a great trip.
