Understanding How You Would Pay for Expenses At Your Destination Is A Good Trick To Save Money When Traveling
Debit Card Withdrawals
ATM withdrawal charges are in the original 3 to 7 dollars for every connection and to make matters worse you are required to confirm you agree to the charges before your withdrawal is processed. Many banks also charge a fee for international withdrawals and you are not likely to be alerted at the ATM. You should consider opening an account with a bank which prepared to waive international fees or best of all award making multiple transactions for withdrawals.
Credit Card Charges
Credit card companies and banks go hand-in-hand in charging foreign-exchange fees which they normally don’t talk about. If you are a regular traveler you should be looking out for a better solution for payments which you would generally make by card or cash.
You should consider applying for a credit card that gives you an undertaking that foreign transaction fees will not be charged. You should be avoiding withdrawing cash from your credit card because you will be affected by high transaction and interest charges. If you are going to exchange currency upon arrival you are advised not to do it at the airport because the charges offered are the worst. You should also be avoiding exchange bureaus unless you have no other alternative. You have a great option for avoiding exchange fees altogether by using your debit card and withdrawing cash from an ATM.
Carry Medications You Believe You Won’t Even Need
General medications such as vitamins, ibuprofen, cough drops and allergy medications are often highly priced at airports and convenience stores in tourist destinations. In order to avoid the hassle of paying double or triple prices for regular medications, you should be packing a small bag before you leave and carry them along with you all the time. Prescription medications should be in their original packing. In order to avoid any unforeseen incidents, you should also be carrying along the prescriptions if they are available with you.
Avoiding Dynamic Currency Conversion
Many businesses will offer to transact in US dollars which would seem extremely convenient to you but the fact is the courtesy is not offered to you free of charge and will cost you an additional 5% which could turn out to be a substantial figure.
Carry An Empty Water Bottle With A Few Snacks
You are unlikely to get past airport security with a full water bottle but will face no hassles with an empty one. You can use a water fountain to fill up the empty bottle once you are past security. It will ensure that you have something to remain hydrated when you are traveling and will not have to spend three or four dollars every time you are thirsty for a drink or some water. Having an apple in your bag along with a pack of chips will also prove helpful because you will not be required to pay extra for snacks.
Use Wi-Fi For Making Calls Or Texting
Texting and calling if you are abroad can easily add to your bill and therefore you should be turning off cellular services whenever possible. Many carriers are known to charge heavily for outgoing and incoming text messages. You should be checking with your cell phone carrier about international calling and text charges prior to leaving to get a proper idea of the additional costs which may apply.
These are some of the basic tips we would like to offer you if you are thinking of using the vacation season to the best of your advantage. These tips along with many other which you may have thought of could save a substantial amount of money for you during your travel.
