Gas stations all over Curacao only accept cash and mostly require a minimum purchase of at least $20. Most supermarkets accept credit cards as well however, for smaller stores and mini-marts in the more rural areas, it would be wise to carry a bit of cash for your purchases.<\/p>\n
\nAs a general rule while traveling, it\u2019s always best not to carry around too much cash on you when sightseeing or roaming public areas. Only carry the essential amount you\u2019ll need for the day e.i your meals, snacks and activity fees and transportation fares.<\/p>\n
