How To Buy Travel Currency Before Your Trip
Sometimes it’s a good idea to have some local currency before you arrive at your destination. Chances are you’ll need some money in the local currency – for a cab, public transportation or even a meal.
You might say “I’ll get money at an ATM”. Unfortunately, if you’re traveling to a developing country an ATM might not even be available. Or maybe the ATM won’t be compatible with your card (this could happen anywhere). Either way, it’s a good idea to have some local currency on hand even before you leave the USA.
There are some other options (though you might get gouged or taken advantage of):
- Go to a restaurant or a store in the airport, pay your bill in US dollars and ask to get the change in the local currency
- Ask a taxi driver to exchange money for you
- Convert some of your money at one of those money exchange kiosks
There is another way: you can get the local currency before you arrive. That is, you can order currency ahead of time, before you leave on your trip and have it delivered directly to you.
