Find the best credit card for you

Credit cards aren't all the same. Many major credit-card companies charge a foreign transaction fee of 2%-5% on any charge made internationally. The issuing bank may also tack on similar fees. Call your credit-card company before you go away---fees change often and you don't want to be stuck charging the majority of your trip on a card with hefty fees.
