Debit/Checking card is only useful at CITIBANK or other machine that accepts American bank cards (very rare).
If you are worried about getting stranded, a credit card is the safest way. It doesn't cost anything to get, and you can cut it in two when you get home.
I would fly to the depths of Africa without traveller's insurance, but I wouldn't go over state lines without a credit card. Your credit card IS your traveller's insurance, but you only have to pay if you really need it.
