Knowing the best exchange rate to obtain Costa Rica Colons with Euros today is as easy as browsing Cambiator.es and choosing the currency you want to buy.
Keep in mind that the prices and conditions to obtain Costa Rica Colons that you see on our website are guaranteed to be better than the prices you will get if you go directly to the currency supplier.
We do not recommend exchanging foreign currencies at a Spanish bank. They charge you a fee of around 2 to 3% as well as an exchange rate.
Exchanging travel money at the airport is not recommended at all when buying Costa Rica Colons.
To understand how currency exchange works, think of any retail store that trades a product to you as an individual. The business buys wares from a provider known as wholesaler at a purchase price, to which it sums up a profit margin.
The difference between the final price at which the consumer buys in that store (eg your colons from Costa Rica) and what it cost the business to get those colons from Costa Rica is the benefit it obtains in that currency exchange.
Nevertheless there is a distinction in currency exchange with other businesses. On balance, foreign currency notes (colons from Costa Rica in this case) rotate from hand to hand, that is, they are not consumed.
Therefore, it may be the case that a bank or currency supplier buys colons from Costa Rica from a tourist who enters Spain (earning a profit) and those same colons from Costa Rica become yours when you obtain that currency (new profit margin).
Normally, holiday money suppliers in Spain have high limits for a single online order of colons CRC or any other currency. These maximum quantities are imposed by the Banco de España. They have to do with the money laundering prevention regulations and Know Your Customer (KYC) demands
Nevertheless, these exchange ceilings normally range between 3,000 and 5,900 euros, which is much more than what a traveler needs for their stay expenses.
Normally, when you change colons CRC at a bank branch, they will already know their customers and you will only have to identify yourself as a client of your entity.
If you change colons CRC at a travel money supplier´s outlet, on the street or at the airport, you will have to provide a valid and current identity document (resident´s ID card (DNI or NIE) or passport in Spain). Take into account that your driver's license cannot be accepted as a valid document when changing Euros to colons CRC.
Cambiator does not recommend ordering Costa Rica Colons at the airport. This should be your last alternative, as it is the most expensive.
We also do not recommend changing your Costa Rica Colons in a Spanish bank because practically all Spanish banks impose on you a 3% commission, with a minimum (whichever is higher) quantity of six to ten €. Unless you are able to discuss with them that they do not charge you the commission.
In Spain, travel money providers and some banks are starting to offer online currency exchange services to their users with 3 delivery alternatives:
a) buy and pay online and be handed the currency at home/the office or collect it from a store of the courier company (Correos, MRW, Seur, Nacex, etc.). Some of them will allow you to pay cash on delivery when you will be delivered the travel money in hand.
b) make a reservation for colons from Costa Rica. Afterwards choose an office of the provider where to pick it up from (prior online payment with a card).
c) do a reservation for colons from Costa Rica. Then choose a branch near your home or work where to pick up and pay. In this modality, the price you obtain may be sometimes that of the day you made the online booking, and in the rest, that of the day you you present yourself at the office of the currency provider.
Opt for the alternative the most convenient for you. Cambiator makes it easy for you to compare.
All holiday money providers in Spain dedicate to the purchase and sale of foreign exchange. If you have colons from Costa Rica left over after your trip, you only need to go to Cambiator.es and select our Sell your currency tab in the top menu.
Then select your town of residence and we will show you the total Euros the different foreign currency suppliers will offer that day in your city for your remaining colons from Costa Rica.
Bear in mind that they will uniquely obtain you colons from Costa Rica banknotes but not loose change.
In Spain you can buy colons from Costa Rica fundamentally at currency suppliers or at your bank. As a rule of thumb banks impose on you a fixed fee ranging between 2.5% and 3% with a minimum of 6 to 10 euros for each currency exchange. This applies when you get travel money and when you sell your surplus to euros. This means that if you convert 100 euros to colons from Costa Rica, additionally to the euro to Costa Rica Colon exchange rate of the day, you will pay between 6 and 10 extra euros. Currency suppliers that advertise no commission are more interesting since they do not charge you this commission.

No doubt. We have been analyzing the the currency suppliers and banks in Spain for more than five years and we know that, depending on the currency you want to buy, some currencies are easy to find but other less frequent ones are pretty scarce.
