Don’t forget to buy New Zealand dollars before you leave for New Zealand
When preparing for your trip to New Zealand, it is important to find out about local customs and practices, but especially about the local currency. In many cases you will be able to pay with your credit cards, but in others you will need to have cash in New Zealand dollars (NZD) which is the local currency of the country. Before exchanging eur nzd, be sure to check the rates in advance to get the best offer. As a first step, check the recommended daily budget to ensure you have enough travel money in cash before your departure.
Practical tips for planning your budget
Tipping is not compulsory in New Zealand but it is customary to leave at least 10% of the bill if you wish to offer a tip. Plan on an average budget of NZD 143 to cover accommodation in a mid-range hotel, two meals in a restaurant and public transport.
If you wish to experience New Zealand's culinary delights in a restaurant, expect to pay around NZD 22 per meal.

Some suggestions for your stay
- Mount Cook offers spectacular scenery including glaciers, turquoise lakes and a breath of fresh air.
- Abel Tasman National Park, located on the north side of the South Island, is a great place to hike or kayak and enjoy the surroundings.
- A beach paradise, turquoise water, a place of great importance in New Zealand's history as it is the place where the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding act, was signed.
- A little boat trip, more precisely a cruise to Milfort Sound? You won't regret it, as unique and spectacular scenery awaits you.
- Cathedral Cove, voted the most beautiful beach in New Zealand, was the setting for the World of Narnia trilogy and is well worth a visit.
When do you need cash in New Zealand?
New Zealand is a country where card and contactless payments are widely accepted. However, it is still useful to have NZD in cash in certain situations during your stay.
You will find small local farmers’ markets or roadside stalls throughout the country, and cash payments are strongly preferred there.
In some remote areas of New Zealand, network coverage can be poor, making card terminals unusable. Having cash on hand allows you to make purchases without relying on an internet connection.
Finally, planning to carry New Zealand dollars in cash is an excellent way to keep control of your budget while limiting unnecessary spending. Paying exclusively by card makes it harder to keep track of your overall travel expenses, so opting for cash is a good habit to adopt. Don’t forget to exchange your euros for NZD before your departure to benefit from the best exchange rates!
