2 minutes on the net with NU would tell you, but it will be a similar cost,
probably a bit less, my last one was about £75.
IIIRC these insurance type things normally only apply if you paid for your
holiday with your bank card so you'd better check that as well.

As to free cash withdrawals, well if you go to the bank say 4 times whilst
yo are there that might save you a tenner or so, probably less.

Commission free travel money usually just means the commission is factored
into the exchange rate they give you. You'll probably get a better rate at
M&S.
