What currency is used in Mauritius?
The official currency of Mauritius is the Mauritian Rupee (or Mauritius Rupee), abbreviated as MUR and symbolized by ₨ or Rs. The Mauritian Rupee was introduced in 1877 during British colonial rule, replacing various currencies that had circulated under French and British administration. The rupee is subdivided into 100 cents, though cent coins are rarely seen in everyday transactions. You'll need Mauritian Rupees for everyday expenses throughout the island — from luxury resorts and Port Louis markets to beachside restaurants and cultural attractions.
What does MUR stand for?
MUR stands for Mauritian Rupee (or Mauritius Rupee). It's the official currency code for Mauritius' money, just like AUD stands for Australian Dollar. When you see "MUR" in exchange rates, it refers to Mauritian Rupees. The currency symbol is "₨" or "Rs" and prices are displayed as "Rs 1,000" or "₨1,000" throughout Mauritius. Both "Rupee" (singular) and "Rupees" (plural) are used, following the convention of other rupee-using countries in the region.
Is it better to buy Mauritian Rupee in Australia or in Mauritius?
It's generally better to buy at least some Mauritian Rupees in Australia before your trip. You can lock in the exchange rate at Travel Money Oz with our Price Beat Guarantee and arrive at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport ready to pay for taxis, tips, and initial expenses without searching for exchange services or queuing at airport bureaus. While you can exchange money at banks, hotels, and exchange bureaus throughout Mauritius, airport rates typically include higher markups and you'll waste valuable vacation time. ATMs are widely available in tourist areas and dispense Mauritian Rupees, but having cash organized before departure means you're prepared from the moment you land — especially important for paying taxi fares (around 1,500-2,500 MUR from airport to hotels) or tipping porters.
Should I take cash or card to Mauritius?
Both! Mauritius has good card infrastructure — hotels, luxury resorts, upscale restaurants, shopping centers (Caudan Waterfront, Grand Baie La Croisette), and major tourist attractions widely accept credit and debit cards. However, you'll need Mauritian Rupee cash for local markets in Port Louis and other towns (Central Market for fresh produce, spices, textiles, souvenirs at bargain prices), street food vendors and beach snack bars (dholl puri, gateaux piments, fresh sugarcane juice), small restaurants and local eateries serving authentic Creole cuisine, taxis (most prefer cash, fares negotiable), public buses (very cheap, 25-50 MUR for most routes, cash-only), tips for hotel staff and tour guides, smaller shops and roadside stalls, and village visits.
Can I convert leftover Mauritian Rupee back to AUD?
Yes! If you've returned from Mauritius with leftover Mauritian Rupees — whether from your honeymoon, beach vacation, family holiday, or cultural exploration — bring them to any Travel Money Oz store and we'll convert them back to AUD. If you originally bought your Mauritian Rupees from us, you may qualify for our Buy Back Bonus for even better value. Just bring your original receipt. Many travelers return with leftover MUR since resort stays often include meals and activities, making buyback services commonly used.
