Prepaid Foriegn Currency???

Hi

Can you help I am confused!

We are going to South Africa and I am are not sure which prepayment card type is best.

Do I buy one such as Caxton that is in Sterling or do I need the Travelex one which I can buy in Rand?

Or is there not much in it which ever I choose.

Also I am correct in thinking these are the 'new' travellers cheques - if its robbed they replace it?

Thanks

    Either - just check on the charges. My guess would be the Caxton one as Travelex don't give a good rate when you load.
