Currency (Indonesia)

The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

We recommend you take cash as there are only a few locations in Indonesia where you can exchange AU/NZ currency into IDR. You may that it is easier if you buy IDR before leaving home. There are ATMs at the international airports and in most big cities or towns. Try to withdraw as few times as possible because overseas withdrawal fees can be very high. Check with your bank before departing on your tour.
