Travelex

Near security in Terminal 1, Travelex handles cash and cards.

This branch sits airside in Terminal 1 at Toulouse-Blagnac, so you can sort money after security rather than hunting around landside. It’s a standard Travelex counter: currency exchange, prepaid cards, and basic cash services. Signage is clear in English and French, and staff usually switch between languages without drama.

Rates on airport exchanges are rarely great, and Travelex at TLS is no exception, but it’s useful for topping up small amounts in euros before heading into town. You can swap leftover notes back to major currencies, though spreads are wider on buy-back. Expect standard Travelex fees and margins rather than local-bank pricing.

Opening hours track peak flight banks in Terminal 1, roughly aligning with morning and late-afternoon departures; it may close in the quiet middle of the day and late at night. Card payments are accepted for currency purchases, and you’ll see the usual upsell for prepaid travel cards and ATMs nearby for quick euro withdrawals.

Practical tip: if you only need a small amount of cash for Toulouse trams or a first taxi, change the bare minimum here at Terminal 1, then use an in-town ATM or bank for any larger withdrawals or exchanges.
