Airport counter or exchange in the city?
The airport counter makes sense in one case: you land late and need a small amount right away for a ride, a tip or something to eat. For everything else, wait until you’re in town. We offer the best rate compared to the airport, and over a full week of travel money that difference adds up.
A simple plan for your first 24 hours:
- At the airport: change only what you need for the first evening.
- On the way or at your hotel: order online and choose Doral as your pickup office.
- The next day: bring your passport to our Doral office and pick up the rest.
What to bring
- Your passport. For transactions over $1,000, we ask visitors for their passport plus their home address and phone number. US residents need their Social Security number and phone number.
- Bills in circulation. We accept foreign banknotes that are currently in circulation. If you have old bills that were taken out of circulation, ask us in person, since exceptions are very limited.
- Euro coins, only certain ones. We take 50-cent, 1-euro and 2-euro coins.
- A heads-up for large amounts. If you plan to exchange a large sum, call before you come so the team can check stock.
Order online and pick up in Doral
If your schedule is tight, you can book the exchange before you even leave the airport. It’s the easiest way to exchange money after landing in Miami, because you choose the pickup office ahead of time:
- Go to miamimoneyexchange.us and click Order Online.
- Choose whether you have US dollars or foreign currency.
- Pick Doral as your location.
- Fill out the short form.
You’ll get a confirmation email, and one of our advisors will contact you with the rate details. Then you pick up in Doral after you check in at your hotel.
Currencies we work with
We handle more than 80 currencies. On the west side of Miami we see a lot of euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican, Colombian and Argentine pesos and Brazilian reais. If you’re not sure about yours, send us a WhatsApp before you come.
The exchange also works the other way. If you finish your trip with dollars left over and want your own currency back, or you come home from abroad with foreign cash, we can change that too. Our guide on what to do with leftover foreign currency covers the options.
Currency exchange Doral: where it fits in your trip
Doral works well if you’re staying at one of the hotels around the airport, shopping at Dolphin Mall or in town for business on the west side. If you have tickets for a game at Nu Stadium, stop by before the match: the park is about 15 minutes from our office.
