spudgun Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 We`re off to bulgaria soon and wondered what`s best for taking your spending money. I don`t want to be ripped off with travellers cheques, i don`t want to be charged every time i want money out of an ATM, I could change my money here but the exchange rate is a lot better over there. What other options do i have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotPhil Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 What are the ATM fees if you use a pre-load Visa card out there? But it sounds like you've already decided to risk taking a wodge of sterling with you and change it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudgun Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 The atm fees can be anything really. I took a wad of sterling out last year but know how unsafe it is and would like a safer option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewitch Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The only thing I would suggest is changing your money in the hotel, do not change it anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Make sure you have adequate insurance that covers personal money, then take cash with you, if you know you can get a better exchange rate over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve found in the past that crown exchange are the better option and they`re regulated by the local mafia err government i mean lol;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble3082 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Aren't you insured with travellers cheques though? As long as you keep the serial numbers seperate to the actual cheques? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 For Gods sake don't go. Mafia run ****hole as you clearly know. Why subsidise them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudgun Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 It might be mafia run but it`s certainly no s**thole. It`s a beautiful place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
