Cutting the Cost of a Holiday Before You Leave
With prices of holidays on the rise, many people have started to downgrade from their usual hotels and apartments to cheap and nasty places just so they are able to get away for a break. However, this really isn't necessary. There are a few simple things that you can do before you even leave the country to cut the cost of your trip by at least a few hundred pounds.
The first way to save money is to get any jabs that you may need from your local GP. Most of the time these jabs will be free but if you went to a travel clinic you could be paying up to £80 per person.
If you are driving yourself to the airport and intend on leaving your car there, try pre-booking for the airport parking. If you just turn up on the day you can expect to pay almost double than what you would if you booked in advance online or over the phone. If you're not driving yourself to the airport, try asking a friend or relative to take you if you give them some money. It can work out a lot cheaper than a taxi.
If you're a frequent traveller, it may be worth while taking out annual travel insurance rather than a separate policy each time you travel. This too can save you money in the long run.
Another easy way you can save is to take your own food and drink for the aeroplane. Buying something to eat or drink while in the air will cost you a lot more than it would if you got it from a shop before hand. A bottle of water would cost you £2.50 on an aeroplane but only 85p from a shop.
If you intent on visiting any theme parks while on holiday try booking in advance to save some money. Buying your tickets when you are actually at the park could cost you up to £50 extra.
