Major hotels and restaurant usually add a 10% service charge to bills. Where it is not included a tip of between 5% to 10% of the bill would be appropriate if the service is satisfactory.
Airport porters expect Rp.5,000 for a small/medium bag and Rp.10,000 for bags weighing more than 20 kg.
Tipping taxi and hire-car drivers is not mandatory, but if service has been satisfactory a basic Rp.10,000 tip is sufficient for a taxi driver, Rent-car drivers would normally expect a larger tip.
