Surf, sand and sun - there’s nothing like a summer holiday to end the year with a bang or start the new year off on the right foot.
And whether you’re planning a trekking adventure through the wilds of Peru or you’re more of a 5-star hotel and Parisian cafe sort of traveller, having an airtight strategy for accessing your holiday fund while you’re away is crucial to making sure your holiday goes off without a hitch.
Different travel money options work for different travellers. If you’re strict about your budget, a prepaid or debit travel card might be in order. On the other hand, if you want to soak up all your trip has to offer without ever worrying about your budget, a credit card might be more your speed.
To help you choose, we’ve handpicked a list of winners from this Year’s Mozo Experts Choice Travel Money Awards, announced in April. So whatever kind of holiday you’ve got in mind and whatever kind of spender you are, take a look below.
