    When traveling overseas, I never have considered the option of obtaining foreign currency stateside before travel. But it seems to be a popular practice with many. Is it better to do so, or exchange your dollars when you reach your international destination? As for me, I have observed that if you go to the right places at your destination, you can get a competitive rate. However, there is the argument that if the dollar is strong, it may be advantageous to change your dollars before leaving. This could be true, also if you go to the proper sources that give you the best rate. In my experience, depending on the global destination, sometimes currency exchanges can give you rates that are better than the banks. And also remember that some places do charge extra fees. My visit to LA currency was to do the reverse, exchange different foreign currencies into US dollars. I learned a few things. They do not accept coins, only bills and that too only the current notes that are in circulation. I was surprised that left over foreign currency from a recent trip of 8 months ago were not accepted. Therefore, my bills from Sri Lanka did not qualify for exchange. So were bills from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. These last two were long ago trips .....of notes found in the bottom of drawers :). My bills from the Philippines and Thailand, were able to be converted to dollars. This currency exchange has two very efficient tellers who provided excellent dialogue and service.

    They have currencies that my bank does not. If you order ahead they can meet any currency need. Really appreciate the clear communication!

    What is the exchange rate for $ to euros and pounds? Planning to exchange money today.

    As of today 1 British Pound is about $1.22 and 1 Euro is about $1.10 so they are just about equal. But LAcurrency may be a bit different in addition to their service fees. But they are still a fair company that I will use again.

So I called told the lady, sandy, my first time calling any agency like this at all. Was very nice and helpful with me getting to the point for the traveling. She sent me a quote yesterday around 4 pm saw it for a few minutes but was mislead by her when we had our initial conversation on Tuesday about airport fees being separated was really no biggie at all to me. So my assumption to the quote was only for the stays and transportation to and from the airport. So I decided to contact Costco travel around 6:30pm yesterday about 2.5 hours after receiving her quote to see if someone had packages including the flights and they gave me the quote then and there within 5-10 minutes as opposed to a day of waiting which is also not a problem at all waiting for a quote. The issue was when she contacted me about 20 minutes ago. Conversation lasted about a minute or less. She asked if I received the quote I said yes I did thankyou for that but unfortunately I won't be doing it due to airfares not being included and she stated that it was and I stated that oh I thought you said it didn't come with it as hearing it in our initial phone call on Tuesday but regardless I told her it's okay I contacted Costco travel and it seemed like they were including flights for x amount as well as two voucher gift cards that totaled an extra 1,300.00 dollars in savings technically to be used at their Costco warehouses. Which is what I told sandy and she had the audacity to state "yea uhh huh okay" and immediately ended the call. In my opinion that was where this lady sandy deserved to receive this 1 star rating with this large explanation.
