Taxi fare from airport to Kuta is around 25000rp
To Benoa depending how many of you there are you could:
Get a local to take you on the back of a bike for a nominal fee.
Get a cab.
Get a minivan with driver & negotiate a price.
Just work out which is the cheapest all round for yourselves & the most practical/convenient.
If you do a search of the archives as well this may help with additional information.
