J or usd to bring

[wrtiii]

The best way to exchange money in terms of exchange rate is still to use an ATM to withdraw money in the local currency, and to make an occasional larger withdrawal rather than a lot of small withdrawals. This seems to be true worldwide. Not surprising, given the overhead involved in handling foreign currency.

If you want to bring cash, the cambios in Negril will give you as good an exchange rate as you are going to find, and almost certainly better than you'll find in Canada, where the bank will likely have to order JA currency for you.

If you convert your Canadian money to USD then bring USD to Jamaica, you'll be paying the fees twice.
