Are Prepaid Travel Cards a Good Idea? - US News

They can help with budgeting but compare them with other debit and credit card options before you go.

Whether you're planning a trip to Bali or Boston, staying on a budget and keeping your money safe is essential. A prepaid debit card can help.

Prepaid travel cards function similarly to general-purpose prepaid debit cards but offer extra perks that can make your life a little easier when you're abroad. However, they also come with limitations and other drawbacks that may give the casual traveler pause.

Prepaid travel cards, also sometimes called international prepaid cards, can make spending easier when you're outside the country.
