If you are thinking of going abroad in the near future, you may want to consider how to make the most out of your money.
Here are some useful ways to save your cash when overseas;
Prepaid Cards
A Cash Passport Prepaid Currency card is an option to consider when getting hold of cash while you are abroad.
Cash Passport Prepaid Currency cards are reloadable cards available in several currencies; Euros, US dollars, Sterling, South African Rand, Australian dollars.
You can top it up much like a top-up ‘pay-as-you-go’ phone and always know exactly what you’re spending. It’s the safe and easy way to carry travel money abroad as it’s secure, Chip & Pin protected, and could also help to reduce the risk of identity theft as the card is not linked to your bank account.
So, not only could it help you manage your budget while on holiday, but there’s also a 24/7 Global Emergency Assistance service with replacement funds up to the available balance on your card if it is lost or stolen abroad.
Travel insurance
One way to get the most out of your money is by taking out adequate travel insurance. It could save you money in the long run should you experience any problems ranging from sickness to lost luggage. It is advisable to check through your policy to ensure that you are covered for all your holiday activities.
Cash
One of the cheapest ways of getting money whilst abroad is by taking cash with you. You can often buy foreign currency from various outlets. Buying last minute currency at the airport could be expensive, so it is definitely worth planning ahead. Asda offer a travel money service, which includes competitive exchange rates and a free home delivery service on orders of £500 or more.
