Pre paid travel card for teenagers

Options
Hi all, is there such a thing as a prepaid travel card for teens? I've been looking at the post office card, but it's for over 18s.

Please can someone let me know if they have found something suitable.

My daughter will be travelling to Italy on a week's ski trip.

    I agree with the above suggestion, good for general use and for travel. Prepaid 'travel' cards are in general bad value and if she already has a bank debit card it's likely to cost no more than them, perhaps less, and be more reliable and convenient, to use during the trip.
