Carrying local currency in cash in Europe

It is our general rule of thumb for any destination, to recommend that you carry multiple sources of funds on your travels. The most convenient way to access money overseas is to carry a combination of currency in cash in addition to a debit or credit card. The reason we recommend carrying cash for each of your destinations is because having local currency on hand can:

• prevent you from having to use your holiday time locating a competitive currency exchange kiosk overseas
• be handy for small purchases such as something to eat or drink
• give you an alternative method of payment in the event your card is not accepted or you are charged a fee to use your card
• give you a back up form of payment if your card is lost, stolen or even blocked by your bank
• make it easy to split the bill when travelling with friends
• save you paying unnecessary ATM withdrawal fees throughout your trip

Organising cash before you depart means you have the luxury of doing some research and finding a great exchange rate. At Exchange Now, we do not charge fees for foreign currency cash exchange - so you can get your hands on some local cash without a charge.
