Mendoza public buses and the Metrotranvía light rail use the nationwide SUBE card. When heading to winery tours in Luján de Cuyo or the Uco Valley, carry cash pesos for driver tips and rural purchases.
Regulations, Taxes & Counterfeit Safety

Frequently Asked Questions: Currency Exchange in Mendoza
Where can I find the best exchange rates in Mendoza?
Downtown exchange agencies along Peatonal Sarmiento and Avenida San Martín offer the most competitive cash rates in the province.
Can I exchange Chilean pesos easily in Mendoza?
Yes. Due to high cross-border traffic through the Andes pass, Chilean pesos (CLP) enjoy active liquidity at downtown exchange houses.
Should I convert my travel money at Mendoza Airport?
No. Airport counters charge wide margins that reduce your payout by 10% or more compared to downtown.
Do I need my passport to exchange money in Mendoza?
Yes, authorized financial desks require you to present an original valid international passport.
Are credit cards widely accepted in Mendoza wineries and restaurants?
Yes, and foreign cards benefit from the MEP tourist exchange rate, making them an excellent choice for vineyard tours and dinners.
