If you’re dreaming of a sunny getaway just like everyone else in the UK, there’s a way to make sure you don’t miss out on saving over £1000 on your summer holiday, according to a top finance expert. If you’re scanning for holidays, make sure you plan ahead for everything from flights to car parking, as this will save you a fortune in the long run, says finance expert Martyn James, who has revealed his top tips to save and budget for big holidays, including up to £1395 in savings.
“I recommend making a savings account from the offset to make the most of the interest on the cash you have, buying own brand products instead of the big names, and pre-booking everything from parking to excursions so no surprise costs creep up,” James says.
“Think ahead about what you need and scour the best deals out there and not just when you’re booking the holiday.”. A new study, by Blue Light Card, which polled 2000 adults, revealed that one in four Brits (40 per cent) don’t think about holiday extras like toiletries, airport parking, or beauty treatments, until the last minute, meaning they miss out on small savings that all add up.
Over half of Brits (62 per cent) have started to plan their summer holidays, which they think will cost on average around £1280. But a great holiday is more than just flights and accommodation, with nearly two in 10 Brits (18 per cent) bringing their own teabags, while others prefer to take a pack of cards and their own pillowcases.
