If you do a search for "ATM Credit cards Fees" and scroll down to Jun 2004 you will find out how to setup your usual credit card and avoid the fees ($8 usual) on each transaction.
As far as using ATMs - wouldn't think of carrying around heaps of cash and risk losing it - in all sorts of ways. With on line banking, you can leave a small float on your card and top it up just before you want to withdraw it - in case you lose your card.
ATMs are everywhere - use them - and like everything about travelling, be careful, be respectful and have fun.
