Where can you exchange dollars for Euros in Houston Texas?

Answer 1

Hi. This information is current as of 22 August 2008. In Houston there are currency exchange booths at Intercontinental Airport, at Hobby Airport, and at the Galleria, a shopping mall near the intersection of Westheimer and the 610 loop. You will have to pay for parking at the airports. Parking at the Galleria is free. The Travelex booth at the Galleria is on the bottom level, between the ice rink and the Neiman Marcus dept. store.

If you order currency from Travelex on line, you will get a better rate than the booth, but you will have to pay a $13 delivery fee. If you buy more than a certain amount at the booth (somewhere between 400 and 500 eu) they will waive the service charge. So you'll have to do a little math to figure out if you're getting a better deal at the booth or online. If you exchange cash dollars for your euros, they will buy back your unused euros at no worse than the same rate you paid for them.

Remember if you use your credit card to buy currency, the credit card company will treat it as a cash advance and start charging you interest immediately.

Hope this helps,

John
