Hey,

I'm going to Florida in November, do you think I should change some money up now whilst it's almost double the dollar to the pound, or wait untill nearer the time?

Thanks

When your going to change your money, have a look on this site to find the best deals available. I have just used it to get my Forints for Budapest, and they found me the best rate available. I used currency express as they were cheapest for my currency.

If you look at the chart, it tells you the rate for pickup, and for delivery. So you need to way up which will give you the best rate for both options.

Mine was free delivery, as i spent over £300, so I got the same rate as if I was picking up.

If you're looking for a convenience of ordering foreign currency online and picking it up at the airport, Travelex http://www.travelex.co.uk is another good option
