There are fixed rate taxis available from the airport.When you exit the airport terminal turn right and approach the taxi counter, watch your bags unless you want a porter to carry then to the taxi! You will get one of the blue taxis, the price is prepaid, you might like to give a tip though.
Last Jan it was approx 55,000 to Kuta.which is under $10Aus dollars.
I would advise to change a small amount of money at the airport just after you leave customs. Keep it simple if you are not used to the currency. The exchange rates there are ok, not the best but you will have money for taxi, tips and morning snacks until you find another money changer.
