Paypal con on shuttle bus cost

Post by maccasa »

Just made a reservation on My transfer for a shuttle in Sept. Price is a standard €10 pp each way. When it comes to paying it says the card payment it is processed by Paypal - on the PAY NOW page it shows the exchange rate used is 1.20 € = £. Look carefully and you can opt for payment to your credit/debit card at their own rate - 1.24!!

Some ATMs are now offering to charge your card in euros or a set amount in £s. Their exchange rate always seems worse than charging the euros to my card so always opt for euros.

We have noticed this recently on ATM's and credit card payments in hotels. It can be a bit confusing when you're not expecting it. Choosing Euros is always the best option.
