There are many benefits when buying your Canadian Dollars with Asda Travel Money including:
You can buy Canadian Dollars with Asda Travel Money in three different ways:
Buying your Canadian Dollars from your local Asda Travel Money bureau is simple and convenient. There are locations in Asda stores all over the UK, so just pop in when you’re doing your weekly shop. With our same day travel money service, it’s the perfect solution for last-minute dollars before you travel (subject to availability).

Buying Canadian Dollars before you go avoids costly international exchange rates and ATM transaction fees. Bear in mind that most ATMs in Canada charge between $1 and $9 per transaction and some banks may also charge international transaction fees [1]
In 2023, Canada was ranked the 21st most expensive country in the world [2]. How much money you need depends on which province in Canada you’re visiting. The big cities including Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa are significantly more expensive than smaller cities such as Quebec and Saint John and the rural areas of Canada [3].
Finding a good exchange rate for your money is all about planning. You may find you’ll get less for your money if you buy foreign currency at the airport, as it will usually be at the most expensive rate. With that in mind, it’s best to get ahead of the game and buy Canadian Dollars well in advance of your trip, so you can take advantage of lower exchange rates.
When you buy Canadian Dollars from an Asda Money Travel Bureau, you’ll benefit from our Price Promise. We’ll beat the exchange rate of any competitors within 5 miles to make sure you get the most competitive exchange rate available.
And after your trip has finished, we’ll even buy back your leftover Canadian Dollars (banknotes only) at the original exchange rate with our Buy Back Promise. T&Cs apply.
Leaving a tip for waiting staff at bars and restaurants is considered normal. You should typically leave 15-20% of the total bill, if you’re happy with service.
It’s a good idea to have a basic understanding of Canada’s currency before your trip. Here’s what you need to know.
Notes:
Coins:
It’s worth bearing in mind that although some Canadian towns and major tourist attractions on the US border may accept US dollars, it’s up to the retailers to decide whether they’ll accept USD. So, you should always bring plenty of Canadian Dollars to be safe.
If you find a better exchange rate within 5 miles of one of our travel money bureaux, we’ll beat it with our Price Promise.
Stop by our travel money bureau and we’ll buy back your unused travel money. Even if you didn’t buy your travel currency from us, we’ll exchange it back commission free.
Left it till the last minute? Don’t worry, simply swing by one of our travel money bureaux and take advantage of our same day travel money on popular currencies, subject to availability.
