Best Travel Credit Cards in the Netherlands

Frequently asked

What makes a credit card good for travel?

Two things dominate: the foreign transaction fee (typically 0–2.5% on every non-euro payment) and included travel insurance. A card with 0% FX fees and solid coverage can save a frequent traveller hundreds of euros a year.

Which travel credit card is best right now?

Revolut Card currently tops the ranking, ahead of bunq Credit Card, based on foreign transaction fees and the breadth of included travel insurance.

Is credit card travel insurance enough on its own?

For short trips it often is — but check whether coverage requires paying for the trip with the card, and whether medical coverage meets your destination’s needs. For long stays or risky activities, a standalone policy is safer.
