Changing money

Leaving from Auckland on Friday. Should we change money / cash at Auckland airport or is it easier to do on arrival?

Cheers

No you will get probably a bad exchange rate at your airport.

Very easy and good exchange rate at the Western Union Currancy exchange in Nadi airport just as you exit the arrivals hall to the taxi's etc.

Yes it does have a good rate. For us the same rate or better than we can get at the currency exchanges in Australia

Lotus money exchange at Namaka is usualky a little better but not much. Western Union also has a kiosk at Denarau Marina.

More competitive rates outside the airport. You can check in Nadi town - Western Union or MoneyGram offer the best rates from my experience.

We find the small difference from the airport to Nadi town far outways the time and costs of getting a cab or bus into town just to change money.
