I always withdraw cash on holiday using a card without a transaction fee. Currently I'm in Austria and all the ATMs seem to charge 3% cash withdrawal fee. I was in Austria last year and there was no charge. Is this happening elsewhere in Europe?

RYANAIR sharp CHECK-IN practice
I recently logged onto the Ryanair ONLINE CHECK-IN web site to check in for a return flight from a holiday. Previously, Ryanair had stipulated that you could check-in from 15 days before the flight. Now, they've changed the rules so you can only check in online after 7 days before the flight. :eek: As I don't know whether…

For instance, lets say I did not have any excess insurance and…

Car hire - Super CDW vs Excess Insurance
Since I am about to hire a car in Dec for the first time, I was researching on moneysavingexpert and other websites and many of them seemed to suggest that purchasing excess insurance beforehand from companies like Questor (where you can get this for something like £3 a day) is often a much better deal than purchasing…

Opodo selling Ryanair flights at a discount
As many of you may have noticed, Opodo have started to sell Ryanair flights cheaper than Ryanair themselves. This appears to be a loss-leader to induce people to sign up for entropay (any other payment method is more expensive). Entropay costs 5% to top up, but you can still end up paying less. Has anyone ever gone through…
