Hi, guys! I just worrying: how to keep cash safe and not to be robbed in airport by the very first taxi-driver? I’ll need money for dental treatment. But you need sleep sometimes in hotel or go to soack in hot spring, or else… Where can I leave money safely: can I open my account in San Jose’s bank, for example? What do you think about it?
Taxi drivers are not your problem. Nevertheless, the best approach is to carry very little cash. Your dentist will probably accept your VISA or MasterCard charge or debit card.
Don’t bring Travelers’ Cheques. They take forever to clear and most businesses don’t want them. The banks will cash them but it’s a half-day process.
Rely on ATMs which are everywhere. If your debit/ATM card uses the Plus or Cirrus networks, you’ll be fine, and most ATMs have an English-language interface.
Either bring about c50,000 from the U.S. or plan to cash maybe $50 at the money exchange in the airport where you will not get the best exchange rate. After that, rely on the ATMs.
