FAQ's about Indonesian Rupiah
Your daily travel budget in Indonesia depends on where you travel and how you spend. On average, budget IDR 300,000 to IDR 600,000 per day. Tourist areas such as Bali, Jakarta, and Lombok tend to be more expensive, while smaller towns and rural regions are much more affordable. Include meals, local transport, entrance fees, and spending money.
The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR / Rp) is available in coins and banknotes.
Coins: Rp100, Rp200, Rp500, Rp1,000
Banknotes: Rp1,000, Rp2,000, Rp5,000, Rp10,000, Rp20,000, Rp50,000, Rp100,000
Smaller notes are particularly useful for markets, taxis, street food, and local shops.
Yes - cash is widely accepted throughout Indonesia. Markets, street vendors, taxis, rural businesses, and many local restaurants operate on a cash‑only basis. It’s essential to carry cash for everyday spending, especially outside major cities.
Foreign currencies such as US Dollars or Euros are not accepted for everyday purchases. Some hotels in major tourist areas may accept foreign currency, but exchange rates are often unfavourable. For best value and convenience, always use Indonesian Rupiah.
Tipping is not compulsory but is appreciated. In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving a small tip for good service is welcomed. Guides, drivers, and hotel staff also appreciate small discretionary tips.
Indonesia offers excellent value for food:
Street food & local warungs: IDR 20,000–50,000
Local restaurants: IDR 50,000–100,000
Mid‑range restaurants: IDR 100,000–250,000 per person
Tourist restaurants: IDR 300,000+ per person
Local warungs provide authentic meals at very affordable prices.
It’s recommended to buy enough IDR to cover your first few days, including food, taxis, and small purchases. Many local businesses rely on cash, so maintaining a steady supply throughout your stay is useful.
The best time to buy IDR is when the exchange rate is favourable. Monitoring rates in the weeks before travel can help you secure better value and avoid sudden fluctuations.
The Indonesian Rupiah is only used in Indonesia. Neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand have their own currencies.
We’ll buy back any unused Indonesian Rupiah purchased through our Buy Back Scheme, helping you recover value after your trip.
You can buy Indonesian Rupiah via Click & Collect, by visiting a branch, or through home delivery, allowing you to travel with cash already sorted.
Carrying cash is generally safe when sensible precautions are taken. Keep money in a secure wallet or money belt, avoid displaying large sums in public, and store extra cash in your hotel safe.
