Money-saving tips for holidays
Going on holiday doesn't have to cost a fortune, there are plenty of great money saving deals as well as things that you can do during your holiday planning to reduce the cost. Use our money saving tips to get the best value for money from your holiday this year...
- Start planning early. This will give you enough time to research prices and find the best deals. Prices often go up approaching peak times, so you are likely to spend more if you book last-minute.
- Be independent. There are many options for planning a holiday independently in Europe, and by doing it yourself you can tailor your holiday to your budget. Choose from a wide range of cheap flights, villas for rent and car hire.
- Visit up-and-coming destinations in Europe. Away from the high prices of the built-up mainstream resorts, the alternative destinations of Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Estonia and Latvia are great options for a low-cost holiday.
- Book car hire with a pre-pay car hire company in the UK. This will ensure that you will pay the price that you are initially quoted and you will get customer service provided by a UK based company. More guidance on getting the best out of hiring a car for your holiday can be found in our Guide to Booking Car Hire.
- Buy foreign currency in advance, don't wait till the airport! A comparison revealed that the best rates were being quoted by Marks & Spencer and The Post Office.
- Book airport parking in advance. We provide a selection of websites in our airport parking section so you can quickly find the best price.
- Learn the lingo! By learning a language, you'll be able to haggle more when purchasing gifts for your friends and family! Visit our language learning section on our website, where you will find a selection of language learning products to choose from.
