10) Use ATMs to Get Foreign Money
When traveling to different countries, you will very likely need to acquire some of the local currency. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, money exchange machines have associated fees. And depending how much you take out, you can lose out on quite a bit. Therefore, a good way to save some of this money is to take out money from a foreign ATM. Since ATM’s contain local currency, your withdrawal will be in the needed currency. Depending on your bank, there admittedly may be a fee. However, it will likely be a flat fee per withdrawal, not a rate fee. Additionally, if your bank has international branches, you may not have this problem at all. And some banks cover the fee of out-of-network ATM’s. Thus, using ATM’s, at the airport or not, will free up more funds to enjoy on your trip.
