Interrailing Dd needs travel card

[Netster5]

Any advice about best way of travelling around Europe interrailing for 18yo and using money/ accessing funds? I tried revolution in Africa and didn’t love it (variably declined), top tips please?

What do you think DD needs?

PLenty of ordinary credit/debit cards are fee free for foreign use. I have a Santander Zero card which is as is the Barclaycard used as a backup.

There are also pre-paid cards which have less scope for fraud but need to be topped up. We had them 10+ years ago and they were not universally accepted. French motorway tolls and some filling stations were amongst problem areas.

Revolt has never failed me in multiple EU countries (and south Africa and America) but appreciate you've had a bad experience

wize card. She can transfer money onto it as she needs it to local currency and it’s cheap as chips. Used all round SE Asia

Thanks folks. Appreciate your thoughts here. V helpful. Will get to it!

Yes, my DC got one for this reason and it's worked well. Nationwide account and debit card, that is.

I have a NatWest World CC, fee free. I issued my teens with an additional card on my account post sixth form and we sort out their spending when they get home.
