Our travel money affiliates are reporting supply issues with this currency, and as a result we are unable to offer exchange rate comparisons at this time. These issues are usually only temporary so please check back again later.
You can also take a look at our Prepaid Currency Cards as an alternative to cash, or International Money Transfers if you need to send or receive a large amount of Argentine Pesos.
We compare the Argentine Peso rates from dozens of the UK's biggest currency suppliers including the Post Office, supermarkets, high street banks and specialist online travel money providers, so you can see in an instant who is offering the best deals after commission and delivery charges have been accounted for. Many of our travel money affiliates also offer our customers exclusive exchange rates that are even better than if you go to them direct, and on average our customers save £59 when they compare with us.
Generally speaking, specialist online travel money providers and bureau de change offer the best Argentine Peso exchange rates, followed by the supermarkets, the Post Office and then the banks. The absolute worst rates of all are found at the airports so try to avoid buying there at all costs. If you're short on time and need your currency in a hurry, check out our Click & Collect Argentine Pesos page to find a local supplier near you.
Over the past 90 days, the Argentine Peso has dropped by 100.00% from 34.1897 on the 20th August to today. Back then, £750 would have bought you $25,642.28 more than it would today. During this period the Argentine Peso hit a high of 44.8247 on the 13th September and a low of today. You can see more historical exchange rate data over longer time frames on our Argentine Peso exchange rate history page.
The Argentine Peso has had a turbulent history and has suffered from inflation and devaluations. Since the late 20th century, the Argentine peso has experienced a very high rate of devaluation, reaching as much as 25% in 2017. The exchange rate for the United States dollar hovered around 3-1 from 2002 to 2008, climbing to 6-1 between 2009 and 2013. By January 2018, the rate had risen to 20-1.
Most bureau de change do not carry Argentine Pesos so your choice is limited to the high street banks that may offer poor exchange rates and the online specialists who offer the best Argentine Peso exchange rates.
Compare Holiday Money are supporters and promoters of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) "Know Before You Go" campaign whose aim is to help Brits stay safe when they are abroad. The FCO advise against taking Travellers Cheques to Argentina as they are not commonly accepted. There are also frequent restrictions on buying currency with Argentina. For more information visit the FCO's Argentina Travel Advice page.
You don't need a visa to enter Argentina but you do need a passport that is valid for the duration of your trip. British passport holders are usually granted 90 days for their stay in Argentina; if you want to stay longer than this or are travelling for any purpose other than tourism you'll need to contact the Argentine Embassy in London.
You should also be prepared to show evidence of return or onward travel before departing for Argentina, for example your return plane ticket home. Airlines have been known on occasion to refuse boarding to passengers travelling to Argentina without proof of return travel.
Prepaid currency cards are designed specifically to be used overseas. They work the same way as a standard UK bank card, except their fees are lower when used in Argentina and the exchange rates are much better than those offered by most high street banks.
We compare travel insurance quotes to Argentina and other worldwide destinations, but you don't need to tell us your life story to get covered. In fact, we don't even ask for your name or email address, so you can be sure we won't bombard you with endless junk mail after requesting a quote.
If you need Argentine Pesos in a hurry or don't want to wait in for home delivery, our Click & Collect service can search for Argentine Peso suppliers near you. Reserve and buy online and collect in-store at a time that's convenient for you.
