Me & the family are going to Florida this Xmas. We have the Villa sorted and we need a method to send US dollars to the booking agent. They don't take PayPal and we really don not want to entertain the idea of Western Union(shudders) Credit Card will be good but its going to whack on another 5% on top of the price. To do a Bankers Draught will cost around £70.00 a time with our current bank.

I tried sending some cash to the US before xmas for something I bought on the bay and apparently they will not insure cash transactions at all. So I guess thats out of the question

Anyone have any experience of transfering money to the US ?. Which methods or services did you find best and at the lowest commision or transaction cost

The fee is applied regardless of the Credit Card Company. The bookign agent are realteively new to the US after relocating from England so I guess as a new business to the US they might be higher risk hence the higher handling fee.
