Get the best value from your foreign currency

One of the questions that comes to every travelers mind pre-trip, is “how can I avoid losing money while exchanging currency”?

I’ve always asked myself this question, and the only answer has been to find a place with the best exchange rates and go with the best rate offered. Not a great solution, and often a tiring one.

The Guardian has tied up with The Money Saving Expert to give us eye-opening tips on how to make your foreign currency go further, and apparently the key is in the choice of debit and/or credit card you use. The article also gives you advice on how to make the most of your cash, travelers cheques, and currency cards. A useful read, check it out here.
