We're going to Corfu in 4 weeks and was wondering where's the best exchange rate at the moment?

Thanks

    The best rate is always in a foreign cash machine with Nationwide debit or cash card. :)

    Pretty much every travel agent & the post office charge the same rate. They have to, or would miss out on too much business. No where should charge you a commision fee on currency these days, so don't pay one.

    Buy it online at
    https://www.travelex.co.uk
    Best rate guarantee .Collect at most airports. Passport and debit card required to collect money.

    Had a look on Travelex, looks pretty good, thanks. Someone said Marks and Spencers do a good exchange rate aswell so will have a look at that too
