Why Order Travel Money With TUI?
How to make the most of your New Zealand dollars on holiday
When you’re planning a trip to New Zealand, you’ll want to sort out some currency for your holiday. The official currency is the New Zealand dollar, which is used in the Cook Islands, Tokelau, Niue, and the Pitcairn Islands as well as New Zealand itself.
The exchange rate between the New Zealand dollar and the pound changes day by day, but the average for early 2023 was NZD 1.79 to the pound.
Where to buy New Zealand dollars
Make sure you get your New Zealand dollars before you go to get the best exchange rate. Visit your nearest TUI Store, order them from us online, or try the nifty, multi-currency TUI Travel Money card. It can be used in 36 million locations around the world and works just like a debit card.
A guide to using New Zealand dollars
New Zealand is a modern country with plenty of ATMs, and all major credit cards are accepted. You can expect to spend about 100 to 200 NZD a day if you’re going to see the sights – try our handy TUI calculator to work out your budget in advance.
Tipping and service charges are not the norm in New Zealand, though you can always show your appreciation if you feel it’s deserved.
