How do you get the local cash when on your travel?

I buy some dollars before the trip and use my credit card most of the time. Most banks charge when they convert foreign currency.

I never tried but there are currency spots you can exchange money like at the airport or, at the mall here too.

I don't have the opportunity to travel where I need to change currency. When my daughter traveled to England, we exchanged money at a bank here before they left.

I would get extra cash from my bank before I left. I used to get these things, I don't even remember what they were called but then I could cash them in for cash. Now days I would use a credit card or debit. That is a good way to keep track of your cash interactions anyway.

I haven't traveled. I am curious what your bank is

no charge fee is so good.

After I start travelling by cruise, I do not face this problem. The cruise currency is USD, and I tend to buy USD from the cruise companies if the exchange rate is good. When I go on shore excursion booked through the ship, I may not need to change any money since everything is paid for. If we need to buy anything that is of small value, the tour guide will use his local currency to change for our USD.

It's a long time since I travelled but whenever we did we had traveller's cheques and some cash withdrawn locally.

i think using the local atm is good because you get local currency immediately. i'm glad your atm is accepted by any local bank. does your card have a mastercard or visa logo?

I used to get travlers check but you can not get them anymore so now I would get an exchange at a bank to have some cash.

i always keep my card ready so that i wouldn't consume a lot of time getting it over the counter.

We sometimes get some local money at the airport although I don't think you get the best deal there.
