The Exchange office accepts all major foreign currency, Travellers Cheques, Euro Cheques, credit and debit cards, and is an agent for Western Union Money Transfers. The main supermarkets are Hagkaup, N kaup and B nus. In Hagkaup and N kaup you can pay with credit and debit cards, but in B nus you can only use debit cards and cash, though the food is also cheaper there.
B nus opens at noon.
The shops closest to the University are in the City Centre. There is one in the City Centre in Austurstr ti and another in Kringlan, among others. The card can be bought at SVR terminals and the University bookstore, where it is cheaper for students. If you use coins you must have the exact fare because the driver is not permitted to give change. It is rather expensive to rent a bike, but it is possible to buy a second-hand bicycle at a low price at the beginning of your stay and sell it again before you leave.
