For your security as well as Tesco’s, there are some limits on how much you can order and collect.

You can order between £50 to £2,500 online.

Tesco will email you an order confirmation, and will confirm your exact delivery date. The table below shows the earliest time your money can be delivered.

Tesco Travel Money uses the same delivery service as Travelex, so they know what they’re doing. If, however, there is a problem with your order you can contact Tesco directly and they will deal with your issue.

When you spend £500 or more online, home delivery is free.

For online orders less than £500, you pay £3.95 for delivery.

Currency Commentary

The Japanese yen, symbolized as ¥ and often abbreviated as JPY, is the official currency of Japan, tracing its roots back to the Meiji Restoration in 1868. During this period, the new government introduced the yen as a modern currency system to replace the feudal monetary system prevalent at the time. The yen has since evolved into one of the most traded currencies globally, known for its stability and importance in international finance.

Tourists visiting Japan will find the yen as the sole currency accepted across the country. It’s widely used for various transactions, including shopping, dining, transportation, and accommodation. ATMs are prevalent and accept international cards, making it convenient for travelers to withdraw cash.

The yen’s denominations include coins (¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥50, ¥100, and ¥500) and banknotes (¥1000, ¥2000, ¥5000, and ¥10,000). Notably, the ¥1 and ¥5 coins are rarely used in daily transactions, with prices often rounded to the nearest ¥10.

Understanding basic Japanese currency etiquette can enhance tourists’ experiences. It’s customary to hand money with both hands, especially when making purchases or transactions with locals.

Moreover, while credit cards are accepted in many establishments, especially in urban areas, it’s advisable to carry cash, especially when venturing into rural regions or smaller businesses where card acceptance might be limited. Familiarizing oneself with currency conversion rates can also assist in budgeting and making informed spending decisions during the trip.

How to get the best deal on your travel money

How do you get the best exchange rate for Japenese Yen?

If you are buying Japenese Yen to get the best exchange rate you should always use a travel money comparison website, they are easy to use and provide a simple way of finding the best price. You don’t have to choose the best rate, so for example if you would prefer a well-known brand which maybe costs more, you can do so but at least you understand the difference in cost. The difference in cost between the best and worst rate can be significant, up to £20 on a currency purchase of £750.

How do you get the best on-line exchange rate for Japenese Yen?

If you want to order and buy your Japenese Yen on-line, then to get the best on-line exchange rate always use a comparison website. You will be provided with a list of travel money suppliers usually in order of the best price first. If you want a larger number of Japenese Yen, say above £500 the best price will almost certainly be a small direct supplier with a less well-known brand. You then have a choice as to whether you would prefer to have the money delivered to your home or to collect the money from a local store on the ‘High St’.

How do you get the best exchange rate for Japenese Yen for home delivery?

If you would like the money delivered to your home, when you are choosing the provider make sure that you understand the postal delivery charges, particularly for amounts below £500 as any additional postal costs will effectively mean that you are receiving less Japenese Yen for the £sterling you pay. That is why at besttravelmoney.com we include postal charges for the specific amount of Japenese Yen requested within the rate you are shown. So, what you see is the cost to you. There are some practical considerations when choosing home delivery, like making sure the travel money supplier you have chosen for Japenese Yen delivers to where you live. Some of the smaller suppliers with the best rates will only deliver to a small geographical area. Also, remember this is ‘cash’ you are having delivered, so you need to be at home when your Japenese Yen arrive.

How do you get the best exchange rate for Japenese Yen on the High St?

If you only require a small number of Japenese Yen or would prefer the convenience of collecting your Japenese Yen from a local store, we would still recommend you use a travel money comparison website. Choose the travel money provider which you consider having the best combination of rate and convenience for you. Check the supplier you have chosen (whether for example it is Tesco, Sainsbury’s or eurochange) really does have a collection point near you as not all stores will have the facility.

We still recommend that you order on-line going from the comparison website to your chosen provider website to ensure you get the best deal. You will almost certainly get a better rate via ‘click & collect’ than just walking into a store and purchasing your Japenese Yen.

Keep in mind our FAQ's to make sure your holiday money goes further

Always understand the charges for debit and credit cards.

Many of the costs that you incur while abroad are driven by your UK bank account or credit card, so understanding the costs for your debit or credit cards abroad is important.

Whilst using your debit card in the UK is usually free, using your card abroad often incurs extra charges. Apart from most European holiday destinations the major banks charge a fixed fee every time you use your debit card. There is also a foreign exchange fee (typically 2.99%) on the amount you spend when using your debit card. The newer banks tend to offer better deals. Starling bank and Revolut  being two of the better examples.

We have put a table together of debit card charges for most UK banks within the Debit Card FAQ section .

Most credit cards don’t charge a fixed fee for using the card but still charge a percentage on any transaction that you make in a shop or restaurant. Also be careful using your credit card for cash from an ATM as it may be considered a cash advance and incur interest immediately. One of the better credit cards to use abroad is the Halifax Clarity card .

We have put a table together of credit card charges for the major UK card providers within the Credit Card FAQ section .

Always select the local currency in a shop or at an ATM

Something that is becoming more frequent when you go abroad is at an ATM or in shops and restaurants, you may be offered the option to pay in pounds sterling or local currency. Always choose the local currency otherwise you will get a very poor exchange rate and the cost to you can be surprisingly high.

This tiktok we saw explains it well for ATM transactions.

Check overseas ATM charges before pressing 'enter'

Understanding the differing charges applied by ATMs abroad is not easy. In theory ATMs are required to explain their charges before you press enter. Apart from any charges applied by your bank or credit card provider the local ATM owners may have differing exchange rates or local charges. Don’t be afraid to check out several local ATMs and see which offers the best deal.

Simpler options can be to take more local currency with you or use an ATM from a big local bank. ATMs from banks tend to charge less than independent local operators sited in stores or garages for example.
