Buy USD before you leave for the USA

If you are planning a trip to the USA, we strongly advise you to study the price ranges of the different regions you are planning to visit, so that you can establish your budget envelope before exchanging ISK to dollars. So that your stay goes well, we suggest that you plan the most you can in advance mostly regarding payment habits.

Credit and debit cards are essential, but cash as well. If you come across a food truck with your favourite cuisine, for instance, it would be best if you had some dollars with you. You don't want to miss out on such an opportunity just because you didn't think to do your ISK to USD exchange.

Practical tips for planning your budget

In the United States, tipping is a good practice in restaurants. Waiters and waitresses expect a tip of at least 15%, but for good service, the tip can be as high as 20%. In this case you might want to exchange your pounds into dollars before your departure so as to have some travel money with you.

It is wise to plan your daily budget to include food, travel expenses, telephone and internet use, and laundry services, for example. A daily budget of between 100 and 250 us dollars is recommended. The average tourist spends 144 us dollars per day in New York.
