Best & Worst Places to Exchange Foreign Currency on Vacation
Peter fellow-travellers mark you're with
Walters rooms they were answering some
of your questions and CIT VC writes how
to get the best deal on exchanging
currency now we have other Q&A is to
talk about getting money out and stuff
like that but if we specifically look at
exchanging currency look don't the best
place for your currency to be is in your
local bank and then use an ATM card from
your local bank in the country you go to
and take your money out that way that's
the best way to exchange currencies on
average now the thing is I know some
people I don't want to use cards I'd
like to have cash and stuff like that
okay I don't know that the best place
let's go with some of the worst places
for you to exchange money one of the
worst places to exchange money is
actually at the airport because you
exchange cash there you're a trap
customer it's the same reason why you
pay ten bucks for a crappy beer at a
football game because you got nowhere
else to go you can only buy it there so
they don't have to give you a good deal
at the airport it's the same way you're
gonna get it probably not a great
exchange rate and they're gonna nail
with you a lot of fees another place
that's probably not a good idea is when
you're in a big tourist center downtown
those places as well those exchange
houses same kind of thing probably not
the best bet best deal on there so if
you do have cash you want to exchange
get the best rate which you probably
want to look for is a larger
international bank and have dollars or
Euros and go there and see if they will
exchange it for you and some smaller
towns and medium-sized towns they might
not do it at all or they might only have
one branch you have to go to exchange it
on so you might have to be going around
and searching a bit to get a good rate
from a bank to do it but usually get the
best rate from them but sometimes it
takes time so in general your best way
to exchange money keep it at your bank
at home and use your local debit card
okay when you go travel and make sure
you tell your bank you're going to
travel so they open it up so it works
abroad anyway I hope that helps you out
and I'll say bye from Kilkenny Ireland
and enjoy spending your money when you
travel because it's but it's always fun
to travel and it is something got to pay
for bye
