Enjoy the slowest train ride ever if you go to Machu Piccu (you "can't" drive to Aguas Caliente).. I think its even slower than "the people mover" at disneyland... And dude, on your way back to the city, get off at the stop before it starts to descend back through the switch-backs and just take a taxi down. You'll know which stop it is by the hundred or so cab drivers holding signs saying "15 min ride to city" and yelling for you to get off...

You're lucky you're driving around on your own. The "tourist bus" schedules suck. And tourists can't take the "locals" buses. (Though we had a local with us who would convince the drivers of the local buses to let us all on...we just had to stay low). Oh and if you do go to Machu Piccu, go straight to Huayna Picchu or you'll miss out on it (we didn't and we did miss out) cause they only allow 400 people per day to go up. Hopefully you've scheduled yourself atleast 3 days (not including driving in or out of there) around Cuzco.
