What is the best travel money card out there at the moment

[Kimbles20]

Can anyone suggest what the best travel money card is at the moment? We are going on holiday to Tenerife so will need Euros but I think a travel money card would be useful as it would save us from taking loads of euros or a few travellers cheques.

Thank you

Kim

Fairfx and Caxton fx are the best - precisely which one depends on your pattern of usage, but there's not a lot of difference.

Thanks dzug2, do you know if you have to order travel cards and how long they take?

We got ours from First Choice. We used it in Tenerife and are off to Portugal in 2 weeks, so have loaded it up again!

By the way you can get them straight away. They come in a pack with your pin number and can be loaded were you get them from. You can also register online and top them up that way.

Fairfx and caxton fx take 1-2 weeks to arrive

The ones you buy on the spot tend to have higher charges and poorer exchange rates
