Ubers, food delivery, and paymentsUbers, food delivery, and payments

Indonesia uses two mega-apps instead of applepay, uber, doordash, walmart delivery, ect... Gojek and Grab, these apps let you pay with your phone, order food, get mopeds or taxis and more. Download and set one of these up before you arrive. Larger restaurants and stores do accept card or cash, but having the apps makes everything easier.

To handle the Saturday and Sunday traffic, the government set rules so that from 6 A.M-11:30 A.M, cars can only enter, and from 12:30-7 P.M cars can only leave. Double check your flights so that this doesn't interfere with your plans.
