laohann Posted May 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It seem's that the Euro is very high & our dollar is very low. Can anyone tell me if taxis take only Euro? Or can I use my debit/credit card? I am leaving in 8 day's. When I wen to the exchange I wanted to exchange $500. and they were going to give me $300.00 !!! Any advise or suggestions is appericated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted May 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2009 $500 USD is worth $367 Euros, so wherever you went was charging an extremely high mark-up. Try going to a major bank, especially if you have accounts with that bank, and they will likely give you a much better rate. Another option is to use a debit card in Europe at a cash station to withdrawal money - usually you receive a good exchange rate and little to no fees. Some taxis do take credit card, but I do not know how widespread this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
