THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I'm coming over to visit my folks in Warwks in a couple of weeks and was wondering about getting a pre-paid visa card to use. In the past I've just used my USA issued cards but got shafted on exchange rate charges. Does anyone know if pre-paid cards are available and if so from where? I think a limit of a thousand quid should be enough since I'm staying with my folks.

This might be a better option for you, get your folks to get you one of these and you can either top it up via bank transfer or get your folks to do it and give them the dollars ready for when they are coming over to see you ;)

I use this one when I'm abroad. It worked with no problems when I was last in the States and I will be using it again when I go back later in the year. Have a look at their 'anywhere card' it might be suitable.

+1 for Fairfx.com - I used one for booking flights on Ryan Air as they dont charge fees for PrePaid cards. Also useful for porn so wife dont see it on statements.
