What are the options of an Indian student for managing currency exchange during a 100 day stay in Europe?


Currency Exchange
tag asked:


I am weighing the options for:
- Getting a SBI Vishwa yatra card or any such card
- Exchanging for Euros in India, take them there and deposit in a student’s bank account
- Taking traveller’s cheques and then deposit them in a European bank as and when required.

Please suggest what could be a better option. Or If any other better alternative would also be great.

Thanks!

    Hi,
    Well as u r going to Europe upto best of my knowledge u should carry some amount in cash,and some in the card form as because sometimes when u reach there u require small amounts of cash like for eating,taxi and things like that.Now as cash card is concerned it is a good option but kindly check that every time u need to convert them and u have to pay for the conversion charges plus applicable govt taxes. at the applicable date .
    For currency conversion u may visit Reliance Money Express office in your city which can give u the best currency conversion rates.They provide u the international travellers card also.Also u need a travel insurance also for going abroad.
    If u need any help can mail me at amitash g
