Family trip outside India - suggestions for handling money - in terms of cash, credit card or forex card
Hello. I am from India. We have started visiting a few countries outside of India and would like to have an understanding of how money needs to be handled. Basically, I would like to know the mode of payment everyone who travels abroad follow.
We always carry cash and our debit cards but haven't used the card though. Carrying cash is very difficult to manage and we easily lose track. I'm seeing options to use a credit card or forex card but I do not understand how this needs to be handled efficiently. No idea how credit card or forex card works.
Our trips are usually for a max of 8 days. We do the flight, hotel, attractions booking in advance. Additional money is required for food, transport and shopping.
Can someone help me understand how to handle the money part ?
1.Credit card - Benefits and when to use, preferred bank
Reliable forex cards - Benefits and when to use, preferred bank
Any other preloaded cards, if available
When cash needs to be used - how much cash is advised to be carried when we have any one of the above card
Long query. But can someone explain please.
Thanks in advance.
