Bookmark or Share- Euros in US or at ATM in Germany - Rick Steves Travel ForumGetting euros while in Europe is as easy as using an ATM in the states. But the downsides to waiting are (1) you will have to find an ATM, (2) hope it works (they do malfunction at times), and (3) perhaps doing it while jet lagged and on new ground. Get 100 Euros from a local bank or AAA and be done with it.
- Purchasing Euros before traveling to Europe - Rick StevesSo in the end, to buy euros now is not a question of if the exchange rate will be higher than $1.40 (current IB rate) but will it be higher than the rate plus the 10 to 15% cost in getting euros now, pushing your breakeven to maybe $1.55 to $1.60, pretty close to the all time worst rates. In the end, I would not recommend it.
- Where to get Euros in the US - Rick Steves Travel ForumOthers think it is better to have some Euros in hand before arrival. Far be it for me to tell anyone what to do, but consider this. If you wait until arrival to get Euros, there is the inconvenience of having to find a machine, the stress of hoping it works (they do occasionally malfunction), and doing it all while somewhat jet lagged.
- Should I get euros in the US before my trip? - Rick StevesI read RS advice on waiting until you get to your destination to get euros. My question is if I get money from a bank ATM will they use the actual currency exchange rate or do they set their own? I understand private ATMs charge high conversion rates. I can get euros here from my bank for about 5 cents over the actual rate. 1.0979 vs 1.1518.
- Extra Euros at End of Trip - what to do? - Rick StevesHi, Des. I returned from Rome this past April with an extra 942, yes 942, Euros. They are tucked safely away for my next trip to Europe (Paris and London) this coming Spring. You could try selling your extra Euros on Ebay. I've been watching Ebay the past several months and bidders are paying an ASTOUNDING $1.60 to $1.75 per Euro there.
