FAQ's about Hong Kong Dollar
Your daily budget in Hong Kong depends on your travel style and destination. On average, budget travellers can expect to spend around HKD 300 to HKD 600 per day. For mid‑range travellers, the budget may range from HKD 600 to HKD 1,200 per day, while luxury travellers could spend over HKD 1,500 daily. Central Hong Kong and major tourist areas tend to be more expensive than outer districts.
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) comes in both coins and banknotes. Coins are available in 10c, 20c, 50c, HKD 1, HKD 2, HKD 5, and HKD 10. Banknotes come in HKD 10, HKD 20, HKD 50, HKD 100, HKD 500, and HKD 1,000. Carrying a mix of coins and notes makes it easier to pay for both small and larger transactions in Hong Kong.
Yes, cash is widely accepted throughout Hong Kong. It is common to pay for everything from street food to transportation in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). However, in larger shopping areas and restaurants, credit and debit cards are widely used. It’s recommended to have a combination of both cash and a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for convenience during your trip.
When using a credit or debit card in Hong Kong, you may incur foreign transaction fees that typically range from 1% to 3% of the transaction. Some ATMs may also charge a withdrawal fee. To minimise costs, consider using a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card.
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong. Some tourist areas may accept Chinese Yuan (CNY) or US Dollars (USD), but this is not guaranteed and the exchange rate is usually unfavourable. Paying in HKD ensures better value and smoother transactions.
Tipping is not mandatory in Hong Kong, as many restaurants include a 10% service charge. However, leaving small change or rounding up for good service is appreciated. For taxis, rounding up the fare is common, and hotel staff may receive small gratuities for assistance.
The cost of a meal in Hong Kong varies depending on the dining experience. A simple meal at a casual restaurant or street food vendor may cost between HKD 40 to HKD 80. For a mid‑range restaurant, expect to pay around HKD 100 to HKD 250 per person. Fine dining in areas like Central or Tsim Sha Tsui can cost anywhere from HKD 300 to HKD 800 or more per person.
The amount of Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) you should buy depends on your trip length, destination, and personal spending habits. It’s recommended to exchange enough HKD to cover initial expenses like transportation, meals, and small purchases. You can also use a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for added flexibility to add funds as required.
The best time to buy Hong Kong Dollars is when the exchange rate is favourable. Track the HKD exchange rate in the months leading up to your trip and buy your currency when the rate is optimal. Alternatively, you can use a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card to lock in a favourable rate before departure.
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong and is not widely accepted outside the region. Some areas near the border with mainland China may accept HKD, but it’s best to exchange your Hong Kong Dollars for the local currency when travelling elsewhere.
We’ll buy back any foreign currency purchased with our Buy Back scheme so you’re not out of pocket after your big adventures.
At Hays Travel you have several quick and easy methods to buy your currency. You can click & collect, call into branch, or choose home delivery.
You can also buy the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card and load currency before your departure. ATMs are widely available in airports, hotels, and city centres.
Both cash and cards are commonly used in Hong Kong, but cash is essential for small purchases, especially in markets or local eateries. Cards are widely accepted in urban areas, restaurants, and hotels. It’s best to carry a combination of cash for smaller expenses and a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for larger transactions.
Carrying cash in Hong Kong is generally safe, but it’s important to exercise caution in busy tourist areas. Use a money belt or a secure wallet to protect your Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). Consider carrying a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for larger purchases and to reduce the amount of cash you carry.
