Extra Travel Tips

Planning a smooth journey to Indonesia starts with knowing how to manage your money wisely. Here’s how to stay prepared and avoid common travel hiccups:

Mix Cash & Card
While major cities and tourist hubs accept cards, many local warungs (eateries), markets, and transport services prefer cash—especially for small purchases. Always carry a mix of denominations for flexibility.

Use Rupiah, Not AUD
Paying in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) ensures better value and avoids hidden conversion fees. Most vendors won’t accept foreign currency, so having IDR on hand is essential.

Watch ATM Fees
Foreign cards may incur withdrawal charges. Opt for ATMs at reputable banks like BCA, Mandiri, or CIMB Niaga for clearer fee structures and reliable service. Avoid standalone machines in tourist zones when possible.

Leftover Rupiah After Your Trip?
Danesh Exchange offers a secure buy-back service for unused Indonesian Rupiah. It’s simple, transparent, and gives you great value—so your money doesn’t go to waste.
