"There are three essential financial steps to ensuring you’re getting the best possible exchange rate, according to Leigh Rowan, the founder of Savanti Travel, a travel management company based in San Francisco: Pay with a credit card with no foreign transaction fees (determine this by calling your bank); withdraw cash abroad, if needed, via an A.T.M. in the local currency (and skip the currency exchanges at airports, which offer poorer rates); and always select the local currency on a credit card purchase if offered a choice between it and U.S. dollars."
