Hello Chris,

I would say "Rs" is the local symbol used in Mauritius for the Mauritian Rupee, while "MUR" is the international currency code used in banking, and global transactions just like "EUR" for the Euro. In shops, you will usually see the symbol "€" instead of the word "Euro".

For your airport transfer, I recommend booking a taxi through our trusted partner here:

All the best,

Thank you

So when I arrive I should exchange my currency to  Rs not Mur. The site you referred me to is in Mur,  I’m assuming they are the same Even though they have different exchange rates.

Again thank you

Hello,

(Mauritian) Rs and MUR are the same. When you arrive, tell them you need local currency (Mauritian rupees/MUR). As explained by Cheryl, "Rs" is a generic symbol used in many countries for rupees. "MUR" is the ISO 4217 currency code for the Mauritian Rupee.

€ = EUR

Rs = MUR

The symbol for Mauritian Rupees is:

Rs

So, you would write it like: Rs 100 (meaning 100 Mauritian Rupees).

However, for clarity in international contexts, especially when different rupee currencies are involved, people often use the currency code:

MUR

So:

Rs 100 = informal/local use

MUR 100 = formal/international use (e.g., banks, forex, travel)

Thank you for the clarification
