subject: How To Find Cheap Summer Holidays [print this page] Though the summer is a little chilly this year, this shouldnt stop you from enjoying a fantastic summer holiday. However, if your holiday budget is looking a little thin on the ground due to the recession, you will need to find a cheaper alternative to a holiday overseas, as this is likely to be completely out of your financial reach for the time being.
If this is the case for you, a quick search online should yield some possible results and you could then go about choosing the best holiday for you and your family. There will be more than enough in the way of choice available, it is just a case of knowing how and where to look. So, here are some pointers for you:
1)Ask friends
Before you take to the internet it might be a good idea to ask some of your friends and family about past holidays they have been on. They might be able to point you in the direction of some cheaper holiday providers and you will have the benefit of receiving a review of the provider from someone you know, so you can trust their judgement.
2)Search online
If this hasnt given you anything to write home about or if you just want to check out other options, you can look online now. Use your favourite search engine to look for things such as cheap holidays, family holidays, or weekend breaks to find holiday providers that you can consider for your summer holiday. Its generally a given that you will be staying in the UK for your break, which means that you will automatically be able to save a considerable amount on your break.
3)Request quotes
Once you have found a few possible holiday destinations and providers you should request quotes to find out how much your holiday would actually cost you. Try to get at least three quotes (they are almost always free) so that you can compare and contrast them to get the most for your money. Dont be afraid to haggle if it means that you can get a cheaper price for your accommodation.
4)Go all-inclusive
A lot of holiday providers will offer all-inclusive holidays that include your meals and accommodation, as well as some activities. They will save you money so make the most of them!
5)Snap up the deals
Throughout the year holiday providers run offers and deals that you really cant afford to miss out on, so snap them up as soon as you spot them!
