No doubt if you are going on holiday you will spend a lot of time getting the best holiday hotels and flights, but make sure you get the best deal on your holiday travel money too.
One option is to get a prepaid currency card for your holiday travel money.
As prepaid travel currency cards become more popular so the number of providers grows.
MoneyHighStreet.com recently did a review of currency cards to consider ‘are they the best option for travel money’, which you might find useful.
According to moneysupermarket, if you are heading for Europe and want to make purchases using a prepaid currency card, use one from FairFx.
MoneyHighStreet currently has a special reader offer with FairFX
You can get a FREE FairFX currency card here – just sign up and load €10 and get the card free – it usually costs £9.95.
Peter Harrison, head of travel money at moneysupermarket.com, said ‘Prepaid cards consistently offer great foreign exchange rates and are available to everyone. Not only could you get more Euros and Dollars for your Sterling, but you can also make sure you don’t go overboard on your holiday budget.’
Be careful if you do go for a preapid currency card to check the costs as some do include an application charge, a monthly fee and usage costs.
