Destination-specific money tips

•Avoid using ATMs from independent providers or those in isolated locations; stick to bank-affiliated ATMs.
•Bargaining is expected in markets and with some transport providers (like ojeks), but not in established shops or restaurants.
•Prices for Western food and imported goods in tourist hotspots like Seminyak and Canggu can be surprisingly high.
•Scooter rental is cheap and convenient, but always wear a helmet and ensure your travel insurance covers motorbike accidents.
•While tipping isn't mandatory, a small tip (10-20k IDR) for excellent service at restaurants or for drivers is a nice gesture.
