Question

My wife and I want to go to Germany. What is the best way to pay for hotels, food , etc? Travelers checks?

Answer 1

Husband and I are going to Germany for our tenth anniversary.  We paid in advance for the hotel room (American Dollars). Take a debit card and do it that way.  You can go to any ATM or any establishment.  It's much safer then cash or Traverler's checks.  No one uses Traveler's Checks anymore.  Unless you want to peg yourself as a 'no nothing'. Good luck, and have fun!

Answer 2

Debit card and use ATM to get cash.

Answer 3

Traveller's cheques are difficult to cash these days, very few hotels take them, and the commission from agent's makes it expensive.

Use a credit card to pay for accommodation and other large bills, and use a debit card for day-to-day living expenses.  Make sure your card has a 4 digit PIN, and notify your bank before travelling otherwise they might put a stop on the card for security reasons.

Answer 4

Priceline Negociators.  

Answer 5

A CC is safe but many German stores won't take them. Travelers checks and some cash are best imo.  

Answer 6

checks

Answer 7

Credit card is good.  If you have an ATM card, you can get local money from your account anywhere.  ATM machines are everywhere. With American Express cards you can go to an AM EX office in any country and write a check on your home account for $1,000.00 or more per week, depending upon the kind of card you have.  American Express really takes care of travelers.  Don't take much cash.

Answer 8

No Travelers checks, not all places take them. Get Euros and use your cards. I made the mistak of not doing those the first time i wento belgium. Enjoy your trip, hold onto your passport, get the embassy number and learn basic language of the area. If you are going to europe , go to belgium, the people are so kind and polite, Go to the City Antwerp. Most people do speak english in northern belgium. lol anyway have fun

Answer 9

A credit card is safest.

Answer 10

Debit card
