Emergencies
When you buy your travellers' cheques , make a note of the emergency phone number given. On your trip, keep a record of all cheque serial numbers and note which ones you spend - and report any loss or theft immediately. All being well, you should get the missing cheques reissued within a couple of days. Things can be trickier if you lose your credit card: your bank should be able to give you details of the number to call if this happens, but you won't be provided with a replacement card until you get home. Assuming you know someone who is prepared to send you the money, the quickest way to have funds sent out to you in an emergency is wiring money . If you have a few days' leeway, you can simply get your bank to wire your money to an Austrian bank, a process that shouldn't take more than a couple of days. If you can last out for a week, then an international money order , exchangeable at any post office, is by far the cheapest way of sending money. If you're in really dire straits, you can get in touch with your consulate in Vienna (some countries also maintain consulates in regional capitals like Salzburg, Innsbruck, Graz and Bregenz - details are given in the relevant sections of this guide), who will usually let you make one phone call home free of charge, and will - in worst cases only - repatriate you, but will never, under any circumstances, lend money
