Travelling to Two Countries: Handling Different Currencies

Some trips cross a currency border, such as a stop in the eurozone followed by a visit to the US. A commission-free provider such as Travel FX lets you buy euros or US dollars at a clear rate, so you can sort both legs of the journey in one place before you fly.

Plan each leg separately

Work out a cash budget for each country, since spending habits and tipping customs differ. Order the right amount of each currency rather than guessing on arrival.

One order, both currencies

Buying both ahead of time avoids exchanging mid-trip, which is rarely good value. It also means you land in each country already prepared.

A provider for the whole trip

Travel FX has traded for more than 18 years, offers over 60 currencies and holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews, with online ordering and delivery or collection.

Sort both currencies before you go and a two-country trip runs far more smoothly.
