Reykjavík Airport - taking out cash on Debit Card

[John Geddes]

My daughter is part of a group traveling to Iceland from the UK later in
the month.

She is too young for a credit card, but does have a Maestro debit card.
With Icelandic Krona difficult to obtain (in our part of the UK at
least), the best bet would be for her to take out cash on arrival at
Reykjavík Airport - as long as there are a reasonable number of ATMs and
as long as they accept Maestro cards.

Has anyone taken out money there on a Maestro card?

Yes - I did that, as I needed Krona to pay for the bus to town. The
airport is quite well supplied with services.

Hope she enjoys her trip - Iceland is fantastic!
