Whats the best way to carry money on vacation to Germany and UK from the US? |
Travel Info Is it better to use a Visa, exchange US $ for cash, or Travellers Checks, or an ATM? Travel Tips I just went to Munich a month ago. I went to AAA and they sell a tip pack for $100 and it has the equivalent in euros (mine at the time had 71 euros) so when you arrive in Germany you will have money. What I also did was do a prepaid VISA card. What is good about it is that it has the same safety as travelers checks if you lose it or it is stolen and you can use it at ATMs and businesses. The majority of places in Germany won't take travelers checks at all and there are many places that don't even take credit cards or if they do they require you to spend at least 25-30 euros. You shouldn't have a problem finding an ATM and they are in English (I passed one everywhere I went). Since you don't want to walk around with large sums of money just go to an ATM each day and take some out. The exchange rates don't vary that much day to day so don't bother shopping around at different credit card companies. Oh and most American banks are clueless when it comes to foreign currency so if you want more help definitely go to a travel agency for help. Also if you are buying a lot of souvenirs and you spend 25-30 euros depending on the store ask for the tax free sheet. As Americans we don't have to pay the EU tax. They will give you a sheet that you fill out and when you leave at the airport you will go and have it stamped and get all the taxes back that you spent. It saved me 15 euros.
