Changing travellers cheques

[bec_murphy1984]

Hi all, i know there is a similar thread further down the page but i am not staying in a hotel and need to know where you have to goto change up travellers cheques. I am staying in a villa.

We will probably have quite high amounts of travellers cheques so is there anywhere in particular you should go to change these?

Thanks, :)

hiya bec

you can change them everywhere, i have not come across anywhere that does not. you dont have to stay in a hotel to use them :D

just use the larger ones for the more expensive purchases just the same you would if it was cash, hope this helps :D

Hi
any restaurant / shop /garage , in fact most anywhere ,
they are treated as cash . So a $20 travellers cheque is the same as $20 bill.

Thanks very much!

Was just a bit wary about where they'd accept them! Ok well If i want some small change i will just HAVE to buy something! :D

Ohhhh can't wait now! Only just over 2 weeks to go!

Just remember though that some places may need to see some form of photo ID.
Your driving licence will suffice to save you taking your passport with you.

Thanks slowhand - that saves me taking my passport around all the time!

I agree, I just use them to purchase things and yes, you very often need i.d. driving license is fine.
