I'm traveling to Canada should I convert my US dollars to Canadian right away? Or just use my US money there? |
Travel Info It's my first time traveling to Niagara Falls and will only be staying 3 days but I would just like some advice on what to do. Thanks! Travel Tips Convert it now. The US dollar is only getting worse. (Normally my advice would be the same as above, take money out of ATMs--but right now the USD is getting worse so take what advantage you can.) (I think in a touristy border place like Niagara Falls, pretty much any store or restaurant will accept USD. But they might give you more than 1 CAD for it.) Others convert b4 u cross the line, they r more expensive You may get a better deal converting it at each place you go . They tend to be more generous than the bank. But, watch that inept tellers don't accidentally short change you. Some stores still have to figure it out on a calculator and if they are not proficient at exchange work, they may mess it up. I usually take only 50 dollars Canadian with me, and then get money from the ATM on the Canadian side Why do you think your US $$ is accepted in a foreign country? You get a better exchange rate when you get $$ from the ATM either way you could convert it when you get here. Im from toronto and ill just give a heads up that not all stores give you the proper exchange rate. They already have a predetermined rate like 30%. so if you dont change it in the us, change it when you get here and go to a money exchange . good luck and hope you enjoy your visit to the oh so beautiful CANADA! Let's do a little reality check here. Do Canadians use Canadian dollars when they are in the US? Nope. Why? Because the US has its own currency. So does Canada. You don't have to bring a wad of cash to Canada and convert it. They have ATMs all over the place. Just bring your bank card and take out what you need. It's a better way to do things, because the exchange rate constantly changes, and that way you are only converting what you will need while you are there. You can use your American Express, or Master Charge, or Visa to pay for meals, hotels, etc. So all you are really talking about is some pocket money, and money for admission to things like the Maid of the Mist (the little boat that goes UNDER the Falls, something you won't want to miss.) Enjoy your visit, and come back soon. yes it is much easier to convert and this way you can pay what it cost and not have to try to figure out and do the math beside trip are suppose to be fun |
