Market beating rates on the South African Rand

The Travelex team checks the South African Rand exchange rates on a daily basis to ensure that we are never beaten on price at travelex.co.uk. To show our commitment to this, Travelex has created a lowest price guarantee – Our Price Promise Guarantee.

If you find a lower price elsewhere, simply contact us and we will refund the difference between the price paid by you and the more competitive price.

Important currency information

There is a cash restriction on the amount of Rands (ZAR) you can take into South Africa. It is currently limited to 5,000 ZAR, which equates to approximately £440**.

To overcome the restriction and avoid overseas Credit or Debit Card fees, Travelex recommends its South African Rand Cash Passport™, which can be preloaded with up to 85,000 Rand. Not only can users save money by locking in their Rand exchange rate upfront, but they also benefit from free ATM withdrawals and no charges on purchase transactions.
