Very nice and efficient service, but beware!! – when you use a credit card they may charge it as a cash advance without telling you. For most people this adds 15-20% to the cost of exchange in unexpected bank fees. So bring cash or use a …
When I fly into LA from Australia I head straight to Santa Monica to exchange my Aussie dollars for US$. Best rates I’ve found for cash exchange. Easy to find, easy to park, quick & efficient. Plus you can get a nice meal in the same building.
Arrived there at their 11 AM opening time. Nobody home. At 11:10 I called the central office. They advised that the employee at that location was running a little late. He finally rolled in a little after noon. Maybe this was a one off, but still…

The kiosk is in a very busy location. But, once there it is easy to access, and fast enough to not have to pay for parking. The employee didn’t seem to like his job, and wasn’t particularly friendly. If I had another closer location I would definitely use instead.
Bad service. Rude cashier
Always had plesent experiences here. Will be back soon.
