Bought £400 worth of Euros

I placed a click and collect order for euros and received a call on the same day to tell me my money was in store. The lady who served me was very polite and pleasant as was the lady who gave me a call.

Bought travel money

I ordered currency by 'click and collect' but when I went into the branch, there was a sign saying "bureau closed". I asked an assistant what to do, and was told to come back in 30 minutes as all staff were busy with other customers. I returned in 30 minutes, but again the bureau was closed. The assistant said they were waiting for computers to be updated. I was annoyed as I had telephoned the Hays branch to check opening times and was not advised there might be an issue. I could not return later in the day, so was unable to get my currency. I wont use Hays again.

Hays Travel replied

Good Morning Elaine,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

We apologise for any inconvenience that it has caused you and we value your feedback.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive at the branch and find the bureau closed, especially after checking in advance. We apologise for the lack of clear communication and for the delay that prevented you from collecting your currency.

Your comments have been shared with the team so we can improve our service and avoid situations like this in the future. We're sorry to have lost your trust and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance.

Have a fantastic day!

Kindest Regards,

Bought £600 worth of Indonesian rupiahs

Ordered currency in my local branch and after I'd collected it I became aware that the rate was very different to that quoted on the website. When I queried it I was told the 'click and collect' rate online was always substantially better than ordering in person. This was not a small percentage difference - I was effectively £50 worse off on a £600 transaction. I won't make that mistake again!

Hays Travel replied

Good Morning John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

We apologise for any inconvenience that it has caused you and we value your feedback.

Please note that the rates you see online might be different from the ones at the branch. This is because each option may have its own offers, fees, or conditions.

Have a fabulous day!

Kindest Regards,

Lovely

Bought £85 worth of Euros

All the staff in Washington are so helpful. I was greeted with a smile by all the staff. I believe I was served by a Trainee called Rachel, but had she not mentioned she was a trainee I would have never noticed. Thank you so much to all the Staff at the Washington Branch, I will definitely be returning the next time I need currency, maybe even a cheeky holiday. Thank you again Hays :)

Bought £311 worth of Euros

I normally use another provider for currency in Worthing but wanted to stay locally, staff all very friendly my only moan was I ordered €340 £301.67 & received a call saying the order was ready on arrival order was made up to €350 at £311.67 ! Didn't bother to make a fuss but shouldn't have been over what I'd ordered.

Bought £100 worth of South African rand

Ordered currency online, said it would be available the next day. They rang to say they didn’t have any and they’d get it in four days which was after it was needed. This is the third time this has happened with Hays so I won’t be using again.

Hays Travel replied

Good Morning Liane,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

We apologise for any inconvenience that it has caused you and we value your feedback, this will serves as an opportunity to improve our service next time.

Bought £330 worth of Euros

I visited my local Hays Travel branch, which is conveniently just a short drive from home, to exchange currency. While the staff member who assisted me was polite and the transaction went smoothly, I was disappointed to learn afterward that I would have received a better exchange rate had I ordered online in advance.

Unfortunately, this important detail wasn’t mentioned during my visit. As a customer, I would expect to be informed of all available options to make the best decision. A simple heads-up would have made a meaningful difference, and I hope Hays Travel considers being more transparent about this in the future.

Hays Travel replied

Good Afternoon, Nikka

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, your feedback is important to us.

Foreign exchange is a highly competitive business, branch and online rates differ depending on local competition. Advertised rates can be subject to a minimum spend.

If rates were mentioned at the time of purchase the branch could have looked into this for you.

I do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards
