People will often use online review sites to find out which travel agent or financial institution is best to get travel money from. By comparing people’s experiences are previous exchange rates, it can be easy to find out who is consistently the best company to deal with. However, the best company is actually likely to the company that offers the best exchange rates at any given time, and with exchange rates fluctuating all the time, the best company is likely to be different from day to day.
Therefore, the best way to find the best exchange rates is to use a comparison site to compare the rate at which companies are offering currency on that day. However, it is also worth considering the extra fees that may go along with such a transaction. The best fees from one site may save you a few pounds, but if the same site charges a great deal for postage, the savings may not outweigh the costs.
Ultimately, to find the very best rates for travel money, your best bet is always going to be to look online. The chances of you finding the very best deals on your high street will be very slim indeed and you will also no doubt be able to get a better deal from the very same companies if you order the same currency online.
Whilst one seller may offer a better rate than another, the amount you order will also make a difference as transaction fees and postage can all add up and make a big difference. So ensure that you not only find the best rate, but also the best deal, stay off the high street and ensure that you study the market too to make sure that you are ordering your currency in advance when the rate is at its strongest.
