Jakarta

Jakarta, Indonesia's massive capital, sits on the northwest coast of the island of Java. A historic mix of cultures – Javanese, Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and European – has influenced its architecture, language and cuisine. The old town, Kota Tua, is home to Dutch colonial buildings, Glodok (Jakarta’s Chinatown) and the old port of Sunda Kelapa, where traditional wooden schooners dock.

Petty crime

The good news about crime in Indonesia: it's largely non-violent. The bad news: where thieves lack in physical aggressiveness, they make up for in ever-more cunning ways to separate you from your money, jewelry, personal electronics or IDs.

Common sense rules apply in Indonesia. Always assume that at some point during your travels through crowded tourist areas, somebody will try to stick his or her hand into your pocket. Someone on the street will start chatting you up in order to get your money, whether of your own volition, or by distracting you while a friend takes your stuff.

Most thieves caught in the act will simply run away, so the trick is to carry everything you have (camera, phone, wallet) somewhere that ensures you catch any thief in the act of attempting to steal it. A pouch around your neck works, as does a fanny pack.

Keep in mind that pickpockets often work in pairs or groups. One person will seek to distract you, while the other subtly steals your valuables.

Transportation crime

The most common place travelers lose their valuables is in transit. The public transport system in Indonesia's cities – buses, trains, cabs, tricycle scooters (bajaj), motorcycle taxis (ojek) – can be a little daunting to first-timers. It's also handy to know a little of the local language to make things a little easier while getting around such as phrases, greetings and numbers.

Everything moves so fast, and nobody seems to pay any attention to pedestrians, traffic lights or those darn honking horns.

While you'd like to sit back and enjoy the ride to your next destination, you should always be alert, and watch out for dodgy passengers.

International Driving Permit 1949 is required

• The most common religion in Indonesia is Islam
• Avoid directly criticising someone or pointing out their mistakes as these actions can cause an Indonesian to lose face. They are generally not very open with their emotions in the public sphere, so it can be hard to distinguish when they are offended. However, if an Indonesian is cold towards you or - Avoids you, you can take that as an indication that you have seriously upset them.
• Avoid raising your voice, shouting or losing your temper in public. To see someone crying or losing emotional control in public can make Indonesians feel awkward. Doing so will likely cause you to lose face and respect in their eyes.
• Try not to interrupt or fill in the silence during conversations.
• Avoid talking about government/military corruption in Indonesia as broaching sensitive topics such as these can make an Indonesian feel uncomfortable. They may not know how to respond without losing face.
• Do not laugh at the mistake of another or tell jokes that poke fun at the disadvantage of others.

Do I need travel insurance to travel to Indonesia?

Travel insurance is very important when traveling overseas. We strongly recommend that you take out cover to travel to Indonesia. You can usually take out single trip or annual multi-trip cover to give you peace of mind should anything happen.

It can be a better and cheaper option to take annual multi-trip cover as it usually covers any number of trips taken in one year with a maximum of up to around 60 days away per trip.

We work with the top names in the industry and have already pre-selected the easiest, cheapest and best quality travel insurance on the market to save you time and money trying to find the best cover.

Travel insurance typically covers the following; however, you can tailor a policy to suit your needs depending on where you are traveling to, your activities and how long you are away.

• Medical Expenses
  Medical treatment can be extremely costly and add up very quickly, and include Overnight stays in hospital, minor or major surgery, accident and emergency treatment, drugs, COVID-19 treatment, journey home if you cannot use the original ticket, dental treatment, and many more unexpected expenses.
• Baggage and personal belongings
  If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming.
• Cancellation
  Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel your trip. This could be due to several reasons such as illness, injury, a bereavement or many other scenarios. Usually airlines, tour operators and hotels have large cancellation fees, so buying travel insurance that covers this is recommended.
