Need cash when I land, best place in Canada? Airport or places in the city?
I always skip airport withdrawals.Scotiabank and RBC have ATMs all over major Canadian cities. Better rates, and fewer surprise fees. I usually withdraw once I reach the hotel.
Used a TD Bank ATM right outside my hotel in Vancouver. Way better than the currency exchange inside the Airport. If you don’t urgently need cash, wait until downtown. Enjooooy!
I used a CIBC machine near Union Station in Toronto and it charged me $5. Airport Currency exchange are a ripp off...
Definitely wait until you’re in the city. I landed in Toronto Pearson and the airport ATMs were all from third-party operators charging $5-7 CAD per withdrawal. In the city, I used a Scotiabank ATM and paid less than $3 with a better exchange rate.
