I’m concerned about carrying large amounts of cash. Are there ATMs available in Moscow? Are credit cards accepted? Do I have to pay cash for the apartment?
We certainly understand your concern about traveling with large amounts of cash anywhere. ATMs are available throughout Moscow. Most offer the option of receiving your withdrawal in US Dollars or Russian Rubles. Credit cards are becoming more and more accepted throughout Moscow and St. Petersburg at restaurants, cafes, shops and super markets.
Moscow STAR also offers the option for you to pre-pay your apartment rent, partially or in full, anytime before you depart for your trip. This option will substantially reduce the amount of cash that you have to carry during your trip.
Moscow STAR is pleased to accept major credit cards, VISA/MasterCard/American Express, for your deposit or for payment upon arrival.
