You could start with having a look at the 'Cheapest Cards to use Abroad' article from the Fool website. Here's the link to it.
Regarding charges, always read the terms and conditions yourself when applying for a new card, as they do change all the time. It is very difficult to keep up with the changes even with the very best intentions.Please call me 'Kazza'.0 -

I always use a Nationwide debit card when abroad. Although to get one you will have to open a flex account up. They are completly charge free and always give a very good exchange rate. If you do not fancy opening a flex account the I would choose a nationwide Credit Card.0
