FAQs for travelers
Which exchange house has the best rate to exchange foreign currency in Edinburgh?
Since there are many options, we cannot tell the best exchange rate. Why? It depends. It is important to see the exchange rate and that changes every day. Also some currency exchange house give the best rate but they do charge you a fee, so at the end is not the best idea.
We suggest you to before choosing any currency exchange house just cause its foreign exchange rate, also check if there are any extra feeds, any minimum, if they are well located, etc. With all those details in the table, you can choose the best foreign currency exchange house in Edinburgh.
Should I exchange currency before going to Edinburgh?
If you can, it would be great to get some GBP Pounds before arriving to Edinburgh. Check on nearby currency exchange house if they do have GBP Pounds to buy. This will help you to get to Edinburgh and have some cash to move around (e.g. pay taxi or give a tip) until you settle and choose where to exchange more money or use an ATM.
I am traveling from abroad, can I use foreign currency in Edinburgh?
The short answer is "it depends". There are some restaurants, coffee shops, etc. that will not receive foreign currency, only GBP Pounds. An international credit card could be handy on these situations. Of course, areas related to turism or big malls and plazas receive and exchange foreign currency with no problems at all.
Is it better to withdraw money abroad at any ATM or exchange in a currency exchange kiosk?
You need to check with your bank. Some banks do not charge you any extra fee if you withdraw money in a foreign country. Other charge a huge fee. So before withdrawing any money abroad, check with your bank.
How can I exchange currency without fees or taxes?
It depends on the currency exchange house. Some charge you a fee for the service of exchanging money and others add that fee to the exchange rate. So basically you need to do the math and see if really exchanging money on a currency house makes sense for you or not.
Is it cheaper to get foreign currency at home or abroad?
Usually at home, but it also depends on the currency. If you are traveling to a small country where its currency is not worldwide available, it will be very costly to get it around (some times impossible)
Is it better to use cash or an international credit card in Edinburgh?
In these case, the credit card is your best friend. But also take into account, that you will need some cash. There are some expenses where cash is required.
