How far will my Canadian dollars go?
Exchange rates change regularly. If you’re not travelling right away it’s worth keeping an eye on how the pound compares with the Canadian dollar and buying when GBP is strong.
If you’re travelling on a budget it’s possible to get a taste of the Canadian way of life for around C$75 per day by visiting out of peak season, staying in hostels, self-catering and taking public transport wherever possible.
Visitors wishing to stay in hotels or B&Bs, hire a car and eat out at least once a day can expect a daily spend of between C$150 to C$200 and upwards.
- Have smaller notes handy – some businesses may not accept larger ones, though this won’t usually be a problem in larger cities
- Remember to tip – adding a 15% tip in bars and restaurants, hotels and in cabs is usual
- Budget for tax too – you'll be charged a Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Canada, though a 50% discount on it may be possible on accommodation booked through a tour operator along with flights or car rental
