| I'd always take with me a Visa AND a master card debit card. One of both will nearly always work. Additionally I also take a visa credit card for when no of the debit cards work. But I use the credit card as rarely as possible at ATMs, because the fee costs much more than with the debit cards... If you want to be even more save, take a small amount in travellers cheques as a last resort in an emergency. |

| What about Visa Electron cards are they fairly easy to use. |

| ATMs location Ive one debit card with Maestro and one Visa Electron. But I am wondering if travellers checks are a better option outside main city centers? Ive no idea what to expect in terms of tourist develpment in the places I am planning to visit (my own fault ....I want to avoid over commercialized spots!). I will be a Cerai Beach and Fort Cochin, Kannur and Srirangapatna, Karnataka. I dont want to make special trips to business centers just to access ATMs unless absolutely necessary. Am I more likely to find a place to change travellers checks in these smaller centers than an ATM? |
