You can also withdraw cash on your card to use in those places that won\u2019t accept card payments.<\/p><p>However, you\u2019ll need to watch out for fees. Debit cards can charge a foreign transaction fee of around 2.75\u20132.99% whenever you pay for an item. Some also charge a cash withdrawal fee of around 2\u20132.75% on top. This means they can quickly get expensive which is why it\u2019s best to look for one that won\u2019t charge you these fees. <\/p><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Convenient to make purchases in shops and restaurants.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Can withdraw cash at ATMs.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Safer than carrying around a lot of cash.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Not accepted everywhere.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Foreign usage fees may apply.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h4>Prepaid travel cards<\/h4><p>A prepaid travel card is another option to consider. Here, you load your card with money before you set off which you can then spend abroad. Because you can only spend what\u2019s on the card, this is a good option for budgeting \u2013 you\u2019ll need to reload your card if you need more money.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, you won\u2019t find any cards that let you load Tunisian dinar, so you\u2019ll need to load it with pounds sterling instead. When you spend, your pounds will be converted to dinar at the exchange rate on that day. Prepaid travel card providers use either the interbank exchange rate or Mastercard or Visa\u2019s exchange rate. In some cases, they might apply a fee on top. <\/p><p>Depending on the card you choose, you might get fee-free ATM withdrawals abroad.<\/p><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Good for budgeting.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Not connected to your bank account if your card is stolen.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Some won\u2019t charge foreign usage fees.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Many don\u2019t require a credit check.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Won\u2019t be accepted everywhere, such as for car hire and at petrol stations.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Fees can apply for topping up your card or being sent a replacement.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Some ATMs may charge a fee.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h4>Credit cards<\/h4><p>You could also choose to spend on your credit card while you\u2019re visiting Tunisia. One of the biggest benefits of this is that purchases costing more than \u00a3100 and up to \u00a330,000 will be protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.<\/p><p>However, the downside is that you might have to pay interest if you don\u2019t pay off your balance in full each month, plus foreign usage fees can be high. Many credit cards charge a foreign transaction fee of between 2.75% and 2.99% and you\u2019ll also be charged a fee on top of this for cash withdrawals. <\/p><p>Fortunately, there are a number of credit cards designed specifically for overseas use that won\u2019t charge you these fees. However, be aware that cash withdrawals are still best avoided as you\u2019ll be charged interest from the moment you get your cash, even if you pay off your balance in full that month, making it expensive. <\/p><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Widely accepted.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Section 75 protection.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Safer than carrying around cash.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Access to funds up to your credit limit.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Foreign usage fees can apply.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Interest may be charged if you don\u2019t clear your balance.<\/li>\n                                    <li>Expensive for cash withdrawals.<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h4>Traveller\u2019s cheques<\/h4><p>Traveller\u2019s cheques are accepted in some hotels and retailers in Tunisia, but not all.

When this happens, the exchange rate is usually much worse, so you\u2019ll end up paying more than you need to.
