One idea is to report your existing card lost before you go, the bank will then issue a new card and you will get a fresh 3 or 5 years use out of your new card and not have to worry about renewing it for a good while.

Not sure that the "lost" card route is a a good one, particularly if the bank decide to investigate it and it delays things.
I simply walked into my bank one time back home, explained that although I had almost a year left on the card, I'd like a new one as I lived in Thailand and it would save the bank the trouble and risk of sending it.
I had a new card within a week-10 days.

Limey,

Can I refer you to lomuamart comments about a UK building society that charges nought for ATM withdrawals.

I can confirm that the Nationwide Building Society are the society referred to and the exchange rate is not any worse than the rest of them.
