money saving holidays
A few weeks ago Teletext holidays asked more than 1,000 parents throughout the UK for their best advice on how to save money on a peak season getaway. As a result the firm has combined the results with some of its own insider knowledge from its own travel experts to create a list of the top 30 money saving tips for family holidays.
1. Hunt for vouchers: If holidaying in the UK, the internet can be a great place to search for money off and “two for one” vouchers to family restaurants.
2. Free child places: Every year holiday firms offer thousands of free kids places and they’re even available on some long-haul trips to Florida and The Caribbean. You may have to book early, normally January or February to secure these.
3. Kids eat free: For holidays in Florida or anywhere else in the US look at mykidseatfree.com which allows you to search for restaurants with special offers for little ones.
4. All-inclusive: Families who don’t opt to go all-inclusive spend on average around £420 on holiday buying groceries, eating out, drinks, ice-creams and attractions. More hotels offer all-inclusive options now which means all food, drink and many activities are covered in the cost – so you don’t even need to take a purse out with you in the evening.
5. Peak season savings: Some holiday companies do offer peak season savings on family holidays. Look out for their advertised exclusives and family savers. For example Disneyland Paris is offering up to 40% off plus up to two children under the age of 7 “stay and play” for free, if you book before the end of June. (terms and conditions apply)
6. Eat where the locals eat: Not only will it be better value, you also get a chance to introduce the kids to the real local culture. Ask reception staff at the hotel or holiday reps for advice.
