[quote=Anonymous]I always wait until I am there - the rates are not so usurious at the ATMs at the airport that you can't get a few pounds/euros/whatever, and then get more at a major bank ATM at our destination. Was recently in England and the airport ATM was a $1.70 exchange rate, the money I got from a Barclays in town was $1.55. No transaction fees on my credit card. So that first 100 pounds cost me an extra $15 to get, and I probably could have waited, but didn't want to chance it. I have also been on several business trips (Canada, UK) recently where I didn't even need to exchange money - literally didn't need any cash the whole time as I was able to use credit cards for everything. Countries like Italy are much more cash dependent and we found ourselves exchanging money nearly every day there.[/quote]
