Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need foreign currency? Why not simply use my credit or debit card?+
Though credit and debit cards are widely used, and many are accepted internationally, it is simple to overlook how often cash is needed. From gratuities and taxis to local merchants where additional haggling or limited acceptance becomes an issue, local currency can help you move smoothly and swiftly through your journey. Additionally, foreign transaction fees can mount quickly, and banks or credit card issuers may decline transactions or place holds on your card to limit perceived fraudulent charges.
Why not purchase at the airport or destination?+
As the last place to exchange funds before your intended destination, airports are notoriously the most expensive place to exchange foreign currency and can therefore charge exorbitant rates or fees. Upon arriving at your destination, there is no easy way to know what your exchange rate or fees would be. You may need to shop around for the best rate instead of enjoying your travel.

Through its partnership with CXI, AAA offers more than 80 currencies —all available at competitive rates.
