Theoretically, all but the airport taxis are metered.
The problem is, that a lot of drivers, especially in the Kuta - Petitenget area, won't turn it on. They may come up with an excuse like "meter broken", or just refuse to turn it on. Quite often they then quote a ridiculous price. If you know how much the fare should be you may try to negotiate. Otherwise get out and take a Blue Bird.
At night, most restaurants will happily call a Blue Bird taxi for you.
Blue Bird's number is 0361-701111
