Holiday money!! HELP!?
Im in trouble with the missus because we are leaving next friday to the USA. Does anyone know where to get the best exchange rate for dollars from £? Ive tried to search the net but seems no where that actually compares current bank rates. Im aware of Nationwide being charge free withdrawals in the USA but im with Lloyds who charge 2% on withdrawals. So where should i go to get some cash ready now to take away with me? Lloyds is about 1.75 but im sure i can get better!
Answers:
There is Currency Exchange in Melton Mowbray based at Going Places in the Market place. Know you don't live to far from Melton. I recently went there for my holiday money for Vegas and got a really good exchange rate, commission free. If you pay £3 you can also exchange it back again at the rate you got originally. I got 1.80 dollars per £ which was very good. Would reccommend this place in your local area!!
Just shop around, and you will find a good deal.
Go to the Post Office - their rates are good and they don't charge commission.
Go to your bank and get your money exchanged to American Express travelers checks. These are as good as cash and if they are stolen or lost American Express will replace them. Anywhere any time. Have a good trip.
There are several money changers at airports. I am sure they would be happy to convert your money into dollars.
It is best to get travellers checks like suninfla said. You don't want to carry a lot of money on you. At the very least you might loose some money at the very worse you might get robbed for you money. It also depends on where you go in the US. However, I suggest never flashing a large amount of money. It is best to take about $20-40 with you so you can buy stuff that you need immediately and then get the rest out in America from bank atms if you don't take traveller checks.
Edit: Most stores and restaurant will take debits cards as long as they have Visa, Master or American Express logos. Most places take visa and master cards.
Thomas Cook are about the best on the high street or going places also are very good usually no charge
