I used a prepaid visa card to pay for the first night of my accommodation for my last trip. They asked for card details to be emailed. The card only had enough credit on it to cover one night, so if anyone tried to bill it for any more than that, they would have gotten nowhere.
I think there was about a $5 admin cost plus the $100 value of the card. You can also get other types of prepaid credit cards where you decide how much to load onto them. The visa ones were in set denominations of $50 and $100. I have just bought some prepaid mastercards for xmas presents. They can only be loaded up once, but you decide the value.
