But did you know that saving on foreign exchange is easier than you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s for leisure, study, or business, this blog is packed with 7 expert travel currency exchange tips you need. So read on to save more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extravelmoney.com\/blog\/how-much-cash-can-a-traveller-take-in-and-out-of-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Much Cash Can a Traveller Take In and Out of India?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Exchange Currency Before Your Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Currency exchange centres in international tourist destinations usually do not accept Indian Rupees. Even if they do, since INR is not a global currency, it will be at the cost of a bad exchange rate.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At times, exotic foreign currencies shall not be available in India or are charged a high premium. In such cases, purchase US Dollars or Euros and exchange them at the destination country for your required currency. Since USD and EUR are global currencies, they are accepted at all exchange stores at fair exchange rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Avoid Currency Exchange at Airports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be it Indian or foreign international airports, the currency exchange kiosks charge exorbitant exchange rates. This can be 5 to 7 times higher than the money changers outside the airport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extravelmoney.com\/blog\/should-i-exchange-currency-at-airport-when-flying-abroad-from-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Should I Exchange Currency at Airport When Flying Abroad from India?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Book Forex Well Before Your Travel Date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is always best to buy your Forex card and currency one week or at least 3 days before your trip.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exchange rates are unpredictable and can vary due to several global factors. So if you have a buffer of one week, you can observe the rate fluctuations and buy at the dip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Check the Interbank Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The interbank rate, also known as the mid-market rate, is the exchange rate shown on Google. It is the average exchange rate between the buy and sell rates of foreign currencies.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Banks and money changers usually add a markup as a profit margin to the interbank rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>By checking the interbank rate, you can understand whether the markup charged is reasonable or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.extravelmoney.com\/rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check Today\u2019s Interbank Rates\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Check for Additional Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Money changers that claim zero markup definitely add a currency conversion or service fee. This fee can add up to more than a markup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always read the fine print and analyse the final price breakdown to skip surprise charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Load 70% of Your Travel Budget on a Forex Card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forex cards are prepaid travel cards in which you can load the required amount of the desired foreign currencies and lock the exchange rate.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forex cards offer better exchange rates than purchasing foreign currency as cash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On arrival, you can use the Forex cards at POS machines and ATMs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The only fee included in a Forex card is the ATM withdrawal fees charged per withdrawal. So it is best to decrease the number of withdrawals and increase the sum withdrawn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forex cards come with several benefits, such as discounts, coupons, and airport lounge access, similar to debit or credit cards. However, unlike them, forex cards do not have unfavourable exchange rates or currency conversion fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is safe to carry in tourist destinations that are usually prone to pick-pocketing as the card is chip and PIN-protected. You can block the card immediately if it is lost and use a spare Forex card.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extravelmoney.com\/blog\/how-choose-best-forex-card-for-international-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Choose The Best Forex Card for an International Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Compare Exchange Rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare different money changers and banks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extravelmoney.com\/blog\/why-forex-rates-vary-between-different-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">analyse the exchange rates<\/a>, charges, proximity, and speed of exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Evaluating all these factors for each forex card in the Indian forex market can be time-consuming and mentally draining.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So here is ExTravelMoney, an online forex aggregator that simplifies this process through our Pan-Indian partnerships.
