I would use my Halifax Clarity credit card.
The Barclaycard Travel credit card is also a good option. If you don't like credit you could open an account with the Starling Bank and pay with their debit card.0 -
Use the cards mentioned by G&D above, for your other expenses also, and always be sure that payments are taken in euros. They could try to bill you in pounds at their own terrible exchange rate if you're not careful (the choice should be given by the card terminal).Evolution, not revolution0

Yes, because it will almost certainly cost you more to obtain cash than it will to pay by a perfect rate card. It's also very unlikely that your travel insurance will cover you for such a large amount of cash.0 -
A pre-paid Mastercard e.g. Post Office Travel Money card could be a good option as it allows you to purchase enough Euros and gives you a spare card in case anything happens to you main card.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
