Heading off on a trip to Europe and want to know the foreign currency that you need to take with you? This handy guide will give you the information you need about European currency. Make your trip hassle-free and get the best money deal for your holiday.
Exchange your foreign currency before your trip
The best way to save money on your trip is to organise your foreign currency needs before you leave. When you exchange money at an airport, tourist destination or through a hotel, you will usually get charged a high commission, fees and receive a poor exchange rate.
Watch out for travel cards and credit cards, which may look like convenient ways of exchanging currency. These methods often include sneaky hidden fees, and it may be confusing to work out how much you are paying.
At Crown Currency Exchange, we want you to get the most bang for your travel buck. That’s why we never charge a commission or fees.
Tip: It’s important to consider how you will change your leftover travel money back to Australian dollars. You don’t want to incur a double whammy in fees! Avoid commissions, fees and hidden charges altogether with Crown Currency Exchange.
