Buying Dollars for a Trip to California

From San Francisco to Los Angeles and the coast in between, California rewards a bit of planning, and that includes your cash. Buying US dollars before you fly from a commission-free provider such as Travel FX lets you buy US dollars at a clear rate ready for the trip.

Cash for the coast

Tips, cafes, farmers' markets, parking and smaller venues are easier with cash. A sensible float covers the day-to-day while a card handles larger spends.

Avoid airport exchange

LAX and San Francisco desks are convenient but rarely the best value. Ordering at home in advance leaves you better off.

Ready to go

Travel FX has more than 18 years of trading, over 60 currencies and a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews, with delivery or collection.

Sort the dollars early and enjoy California at your own pace.
