airports will usually have places to exchange, or you can do it when you get there

Airjockie · 09-11-2006, 02:19 PM

do it when you land at the airport...and then again when you leave...and check the exchange rates before you go. I've always done that when in Japan, and never had a problem. And also ATM's will just give you their local currency and deduct it from your account automatically. Prolly better to use the ATM's, since carrieing a large amount of cash or checks is a bad idea. And to also save yourself some trouble, make sure the better half has a card as well, just incase you get into any trouble....

yeah ill be getting drunk for sure... i made reservations at this little hotel for one night because we get there at 10:40et and the flight to puerto ordad is at 7:30am.

so the atms will give me the cash in bolivares and my bank will figure out the exchange?

Venezuela is VERY good about currency exchanges. If your place has a consierge, trust him.

CRX-YEM · 09-11-2006, 04:09 PM

you'll ge tthe best exchange rates with a credit card or a bank directly. While most major airports feature a currency exchange desk, you are likely to get a better rate directly from an ATM machine affliated with a major bank.
