When do you need cash in Canada?

Card payments are widely accepted throughout Canada, but it can still be useful to carry some Canadian dollars in cash for certain expenses.

Canada has many flea markets, and if you plan to visit one, you’ll often need to pay a small entry fee. Once inside, purchases are also commonly cash-only. Similarly, food trucks, farmers’ markets, and festival stalls may sometimes only accept cash payments.

Tipping is also customary in Canada. While it’s possible to leave a tip by card, cash tips are generally appreciated. In some situations, cash may be the only practical option — for example, when thanking a tour guide or a street performer.

In some smaller towns, local buses may also require payment in cash. The same can apply to certain ferry services and regional shuttle transport.
