Following the foreign currency market is confusing. Rates can change hourly, and only those $1 million+ accounts get the best exchange. It's put a new twist on foreign travel and your mission to get the best rate for local currency.

You may need more than $100 in local currency for your trip, so you'll want the best rates. Exchanging your cash before you leave has several advantages. You'll lock in a favorable exchange rate and low service fees. You'll also have time to become familiar with the various denominations and value of the local currency before you have to use it.

Planning multiple stops? AAA offers more than 90 currencies, and your travel advisor can help you determine the right mix for your trip.
