Prepaid Card

Donnalex

My brain hurts from reading about so many different types of cars so I thought I'd ask post my thoughts here and hope someone can tell me if I'm working this out correctly or if I'm missing something.

I am going to Croatia on Sunday and need a travel card, obviously I can't wait to have one posted out so it needs to be one I can pick up.

I have seen threads on the Thomas Cook card but that seems quite expensive as it charges 5.75% plus £2 for each withdrawal.

Phones 4 U do a escape card that costs £10 upfront and then £2 per withdrawal.

We're flying from Manchester so can't pick up a travelex card from there.

What would you say the best option is please? I'm thinking the phones 4 u card as they have a decent exchange rate on Kuna at the moment.

Thanks in advance for helping sort my muddled brain out!

There is no ATM withdrawal charge for the Escape Travel Money card(GBP). The catch is the £9.99 fee for the card and that they take a cut from the Mastercard exchange rate. The £9.99 fee makes it not great value.
