Bought £800 worth of Euros

I have collected euros from Lanark Hays a couple of times now. Always a speedy service with euros always ready before I need them. The staff are very helpful and even contacted me regarding a potential problem. It was all okay but how kind that they spotted it so soon. I went due to great rates but will continue using this branch due to staff...

Bought £220 worth of Euros

I ordered travel money to collect from the Sherborne Branch and got an email saying it was ready for collection before the email saying the order was confirmed! How's that for prompt service!

Service in the branch was great and the staff were very friendly even talking to us about our planned trip, even though it had not been booked through Hays.

I generally check around for holiday money and Hays offered the best local rates, beating the banks (obviously), M&S and Waitrose without the need for a minimum order value.

First class - very pleased.

Hays Travel replied

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted you enjoyed our competitive rates and speedy service, and it’s great to hear the Sherborne team made you feel so welcome.

We really appreciate your kind comments about the in branch experience and are pleased the staff could help with your travel plans.

Kindest Regards

Bought Euros

Had problems with site crashing when making payment and card declining. Once transaction was accepted it was straight forward and the collection at Hays Billingham was efficient as usual. I always collect foreign currency at this Branch as the staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Hays Travel replied

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the website, but we’re glad everything was straightforward once completed and that the Billingham team provided their usual friendly, efficient service.

Bought £268 worth of Euros

Absolute joke. Tried to order on line 5 different times at 3 different shop locations as attractive rate.

On each occasion message came back as MAY NOT Have Processed- contact administrator?

Attended at store and rate 3 euro cents less per £1 than online collection. Went elsewhere on line and ordered locally for immediate collection.

Hays Travel replied

Good Afternoon Hugh,

Thank you for your review.

We are very sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties when attempting to purchase currency via our website, which ultimately could not be completed. From your comments, it appears that a technical error may have occurred, and we fully understand the inconvenience this would have caused.

Please note that our in-branch rates can differ from those offered online due to a variety of factors. This information is outlined on our travel money page to ensure customers are aware.

However, if you have seen a click and collect rate online with Hays Travel, you are welcome to present this in branch, and our colleagues will be happy to match the rate to ensure you receive the best available value.

We sincerely apologise again for the issue you encountered, which led you to purchase your currency elsewhere and we hope this does not deter you from using our services again in the future.

Kindest Regards

Megan
