Travel Tip: How to get the best deal on holiday money

It is easy to lose track of exactly how much you are spending when you are on holiday but here are some simple things you can do to make your holiday money go further:

Don't buy your money at the airport

The worst place to exchange money is at an airport where rates of exchange are normally much worse than even a high street retailer. Online foreign exchange services tend to offer the best exchange rates.

Commission free does not necessarily mean best value

Many foreign currency bureaux advertise commission free deals but these are not automatically the best deals. Exchange bureaux make their money in two ways - through commission charges (a fee added when you convert your cash) and through exchange rates.  So if you are not being charged commission you could well find the exchange rate is not as competitive - you therefore need to compare the total cost in sterling of your foreign currency purchase. 

Watch out for credit card fees

Using a credit card abroad is convenient but your purchase will probably cost you more than you were expecting because most providers levy a 'loading' or 'conversion' fee of between 2.5% and 3.0% each time you use your card abroad. Also avoid using your credit card for withdrawing cash as not only will you be charged a withdrawal fee you will also pay a higher rate of interest on the amount withdrawn.
