British tourists are being told to remain wary of 'hidden' fees that could end up ruining your holiday budget.
UK holidaymakers heading abroad this year are being warned to stay wary of a hidden charge that could impact the budget they have set by for their trip.
If you use your credit or debit card to pay for items or take cash out from an ATM then you can be charged a fee from your bank. These charges can quickly add up into the hundreds dependant on how many transactions you carry out. If you have your main debit or credit card as your primary payment form on your digital wallet then you should remove it for your holiday. Instead, add a non-charging bank account like Monzo so you don't get caught out by mistake.
So, use cash for smaller purchases to keep any additional costs down. Remember to carry just a small amount and keep the rest secure and locked away in a hotel safe or other secure location. 5. Always use the local currency option When paying by card or withdrawing from a cash machine, you will be given the option to convert to pounds or the local currency.
