What travel MasterCard should I get?

I've had a Halifax Clarity card for years, for fee-free foreign transactions and been very happy with it. We have recently discovered that Hertz give a MasterCard discount, so saved a few quid as we usually use Hertz to book our car hire. BUT we have just been sent new Halifax cards and they are now Visa, so no more Hertz discount :-(.

Can anyone suggest/recommend a MasterCard credit card, with no foreign transaction fees? It is surprisingly hard to Google. It needs to be a credit card, not a debit card, because it will primarily used for car hire. Thanks!

Have you checked with Hertz whether or not they're going to offer the same discount with Visa? They may want to keep the business, after all.

I've googled it and no visa discount comes up.

We use Curve it just attaches to your normal credit card but you don't pay any fees on foreign spending. Ours is attached to our Tesco credit card so we still get points there too.
