Should I exchange money before I travel to Malaysia?

It’s a wise move to exchange money before heading to Malaysia. Having Malaysian ringgit on hand right when you arrive means you can easily cover initial costs like transport from the airport and your first meals without any trouble.

What currency does Malaysia use?

The official currency of Malaysia is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR). With ringgit in your pocket, you can savour local dishes at a street food stall and explore the colourful markets in Kuala Lumpur.

What is the best currency to bring to Malaysia?

The Malaysian ringgit is the official currency and the best choice. You may find some airports, hotels and shops accept US dollars. However, using MYR is usually more practical and cost-effective.

Is the Malaysian ringgit a closed currency?

No, the Malaysian ringgit is not a closed currency, so you can get your travel money sorted before you even start your trip.

Can I use my bank card in Malaysia?

Yes, you can use your credit card and debit card in Malaysia, but having a mix of cash and card is smart. Smaller shops and eateries often prefer cash. Let your bank know you’ll be travelling to avoid any card issues abroad.

Should I use cash in Malaysia?

While Malaysia is advancing towards a cashless society, cash is still useful for smaller transactions. ATMs are common, making it easy to withdraw cash if needed.

Keep a balance of cash and card payments. Use cash for small purchases and save the card for bigger expenses. 

Manor FX can buy Malaysian ringgit currency and convert it back to pounds sterling if you have excess after your trip.

Should I use cash or card in Malaysia?

In Malaysia, it’s handy to carry both cash and a card. Cards are great for hotels, shopping malls, and most restaurants in the cities and tourist areas. Yet, for tasty street food, local markets, and smaller shops, cash is the way to go. 

Some places might not accept cards at all. Plus, cash is essential for taxis, unless you’re using an app like Grab. 

So, mixing it up with some cash for the small stuff and cards for the bigger buys gives you the best of both worlds.

How much cash should I take to Malaysia?

Planning your cash for Malaysia? Here’s a helpful guide:

For backpackers, aim for about 115 MYR (£21) each day. This amount gets you a hostel bed, tasty street eats, public transport, and free fun like beach days and hikes.

If you’re going for a mid-range experience, set aside 295 MYR (£54) daily. This budget means comfy Airbnb stays, a mix of street food and restaurant meals, a few taxi rides, and some paid attractions like museums and food tours.

For those wanting luxury, start with 520 MYR (£95) per day. Enjoy hotel stays, dining out for every meal, extra drinks, and any tour or activity that catches your eye. 

How can I avoid ATM fees in Malaysia?

To save on ATM fees in Malaysia:

• Check if your bank has partnerships with Malaysian banks for free withdrawals.
• Withdraw larger amounts less frequently to minimise transaction fees.
• Look for ATMs with lower fees.

How does tipping work in Malaysia?

Tipping isn’t widely expected in Malaysia, but it’s appreciated for excellent service. Restaurants sometimes include a 10% service charge in the bill.

Malaysia offers a beautiful mix of urban sophistication and natural beauty, all within your budget.

Is Malaysia a cheap country to visit?

Malaysia offers a great mix for travellers. If you’re on a budget, you’ll find Malaysia pretty affordable. Street food, public transport, and accommodation can be really cheap. Yet, if you fancy more luxury, Malaysia has that too. 

The country caters to all sorts of travellers, from backpackers to those seeking opulence. In short, you can make your visit as economical or lavish as you like. 

How much does a meal cost in Malaysia?

In Malaysia, the cost of a meal varies. If you eat like a local at street stalls or hawker centres, you can enjoy a delicious meal for as little as 5 to 10 MYR (£1 to £2). 

For a more sit-down experience in a restaurant, prices range from 20 to 40 MYR (£4 to £8). 

And if you’re feeling fancy, upscale dining spots offer meals starting from 60 MYR (£12) and up. So, whether you’re saving or splurging, Malaysia’s got you covered with tasty options!
