Dialogue 12: Currency Exchange
12.
A: Hello. What can I do for you?
B: I’d like to exchange €300 for British pounds, please.
A: Can I see some ID, please?
B: Sure. Here’s my passport. What’s your exchange rate?
A: It’s £0.85 per euro. So €300 comes out to £255.
B: Would you like large banknotes or small ones?
A: I’d like a hundred of that in fives, tens and fifties, please. And could you give me some coins as well?
B: Of course. Here you are. Is there anything else I can help you with?
A: Yes… How much do you charge for cashing traveller’s cheques?
B: There’s no fee for that.
A: Great. Can you cash these, please?
B: €20, of course.

B: Two weeks.
A: All right. You’ll be returning it on… the twenty-fourth of April?
B: Yes. On the 24th.
A: What kind of car would you like?
B: I’ll be coming with my family, so we’ll need a standard saloon.
A: OK. A standard saloon. No problem.
B: Good. Now we’ll want to pick it up in London but will it be all right if we drop it off in Aberdeen?
A: That’s fine. There’s no extra charge for that.
B: Great. And what are your rates?
A: We’ve got a special weekly rate of £112. It works out much cheaper than the daily rate.
