ATM near Eurotunnel-Euros

Any
Posts: 7,957 Forumite


Hi guys,
I don't know whether anyone can help me, but basicaly we are going to France on holidays, travelling by car and taking the Eurotunnel.
Is there an ATM machine that I can withdraw Euro cash out of my card somewhere immediately on the other side? I can get best exchange rate by withdrawing from my card, but not sure whether to not pre-order some for the first couple of days anyway... Or if I can get some immediately.
We will be joining motorways as soon as we are in France so looking for ATM then is a bit late..
Thanks

The terminal in Coquelles?
There's load of places around there too but I can't think of a specific one
I'd just change a few quid at the PO or somewhere before you leave and then find an ATM at your leisure later0 -
Hi,
I don't know, I've never taken the Eurotunnel before..0 -
There's definitely ATMs in the French side terminal, I'm not sure how you get back to them though - I always just do the obligatory flat out drag race as soon as I'm clear of the ramps0
-
Just as you are driving out, there is a filling station on the left. Don't know if they have an atm, but I suppose you could always buy a paper or something and get change.0

go to citi europe, its not far from the terminal and you can get everything you need there (its a shopping centre)0

Not sure how handy this is, but at Stop24 services near the Eurotunnel terminal there is an ATM where you can withdraw euros, put it this way I always use it.
I know our side but it's what I do. Don't get charged commison either, or at least I've never noticed that I do.
There is definetely cashpoints at Cite Europe but they do charge.The Very Right Honourable Lady Tarry of the Alphabetty thread-I just love finding bargains and saving moneyI love to travel as much as I can when I canLife has a way to test you, it's how you deal with this that matters0 -
Thank you all for your advice. As it is our first time I will just get little cash in advance just to be on the safe side and then check it all out for next time.
It is beginning to sound too much hassle for saving £4.
I just thought I will ask as when we travel by plane I usually find out in advance if and where there is ATM at arrivals at the airport and there usually is so I thought it might be as easy as that.0 -
I was talking at work about this issue, and definetely better to have some cash on you, after all, there is a few toll roads, and I feel better to have some cash on me even though they seem to accept debit and credit cards.The Very Right Honourable Lady Tarry of the Alphabetty thread-I just love finding bargains and saving moneyI love to travel as much as I can when I canLife has a way to test you, it's how you deal with this that matters0

I wouldn't worry about it - until you stop why would you need any cash? The motorway tolls take credit cards and they're the quickest way to pay (you don't need to enter the PIN). Maybe change £20-30 or so at the PO or somewhere "commission free" if you want a little to get snacks etc. The rate will be be rubbish but for a small amount you'll only lose £1 or so.0
