I am going to Europe by this month end. I need to carry about 1000 Euros with me. And I am wondering what would be the best alternatives from following:
1. Carry 1000 EUR in cash
2. Carry about 200 EUR in cash and rest in forex prepaid card
3. Carry about 200 EUR in cash and use existing HDFC International CC/DC for remaining amount
4. Carry about 200 EUR in cash and travelers checks for remaining amount
I think in case of option 3, the charges will be higher for CC/DC transactions.
I need to pay about 550 EUR in either cash or by CC for accommodation. So am wondering how easy is option 4?
Any other options? Also, please suggest forex prepaid card if option 2 (I have HDFC account)
Thanks!
