FAQs about Fiji Dollar (FJD)
Here are some of the most common questions travellers ask before exchanging AUD to FJD — from where to get the best rates to practical tips for managing cash while in Fiji.

By ordering online with Prosegur Change, you can secure a great AUD to FJD rate, enjoy 0% commission, and collect your currency at the airport or city centre — avoiding higher tourist rates and limited availability once in Fiji.
Exchange rates fluctuate daily depending on global economic conditions. The best way to get a favorable rate is to check live updates and reserve your FJD online with Prosegur Change, so you can lock in the current rate before it changes.
A typical traveller may need around FJD 800–1,200 for a week-long trip, depending on travel style. Budget travellers spending mainly on local food and buses can manage on less, while those staying in resorts or doing tours may need more. Carrying some cash is recommended, especially for local markets, taxis, and rural areas.
Cash is preferred in Fiji, especially outside major resorts or cities. Many small shops, taxis, and local attractions only accept Fijian Dollars. Cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and larger stores, but having cash ensures you’re prepared wherever you go.
Tipping isn’t mandatory in Fiji, but it’s appreciated for good service. A small amount — around 5–10% at restaurants or FJD 2–5 for porters and drivers — is considered generous. Many resorts also operate a communal “staff fund” for tips shared among employees.
