Travel Resources - Currency Exchange

Currency Exchange
Stay up to date with the currency exchange rate so you can get
your best exchange rate. The best site that we've found for
finding the current exchange rate is www.xe.com. There are
some things that you can do to help get more bang for your
buck while traveling out of the country. Credit cards and ATM
cards seem to get better rates than when exchanging cash or
traveler's checks. Make sure you check with the country you
are visiting, your credit card company and your bank to see
what kind of fees you are going to get hit with.

By doing some research, you can save a few percent in fees on your next trip. On a $5,000 vacation, 3% comes to $150. Instead of just giving that
money away, you can go out for a nice dinner, upgrade your rental car or spend it on entertainment.

Just make sure to do your research. In some countries, it might be best to exchange your money in cash or even with a traveler's check. Plan ahead
and you will put a little extra money into your pocket.
