50 ways to save on your holidays
Richard Browning
SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take
their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even
one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling
and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station.
Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.
While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it
can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this
option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules
without breaking the bank?
Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday.

4. Travel on the ferry at unsociable times
After years of outrageously high fares, the cross-Channel ferry operators have
woken up to the fact that people aren't prepared to pay up to £600 to cross a
stretch of water so short you can see the other side from our shores -
especially as you can fly to Spain for a few quid. As a result, fares have
plunged and if you can travel at night, it's even cheaper.
5. Stay at home
A change is good as a rest so why not move into the spare room or swap rooms
with your kids for a week or two. It's free and can be great fun – especially if
you can agree to swap roles so the children do all the cooking.
6. Share the cost
A holiday home that sleeps 12 people isn't usually six times more expensive than
one that sleeps two. So if you can bear to share with friends or family you
could save a packet.
Why book a room in a crowded hotel when you can rent a private villa with
swimming pool - we feature villa
rentals with pools in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus and 51 other Countries
across the World.

27. Find a low-cost insurance policy online
Your travel agent - online or High Street - will try to flog you insurance. Just
say no. Go online or talk to a broker and you'll find single-trip European
policies for less than £10 per person. If you're going away more than once in
the year, consider an annual policy. Just make sure you understand what you need
and read the small print. Tip: single-trip policies cover you for cancellation
as soon as you take out the policy even if your travel dates are months ahead.
This is not the case for annual policies, which start from the day you take
28. Shop around for your European breakdown cover
We've all heard of the AA and RAC but it's only insurance and any number of
companies offer the same type of policies for significantly less money.
29. The packed lunch trick
If you're flying no-frills, you can pay several pounds for an in-flight sandwich
and drink or you can take your own. With some of these low-cost deals, the cost
of your food can be more expensive than the cost of your flights. There's a
principle at stake here more than just a free lunch.
30. Take the coach
According to a This is Money survey, petrol will have to reach £10 a litre
before we start leaving our cars at home in any great numbers. Until then public
transport is always going to find it hard to compete. But coaches are pretty
luxurious these days and at the time of writing, megabus.com is offering
intercity fares throughout the UK from 50p, with £1 fares available during the
Christmas holidays.

31. How to locate cheap train tickets
Since the railways were privatised, unearthing cheap train tickets can seem
impossible. But it's really quite simple. There are basically three types of
ticket. The 'cheapo', available if you book 28 days or more in advance; the
just-about-affordable if booked 14 days or more in advance; and the forget-it,
which is what you'll pay in the last week before you travel. Best is to check
individual websites for details. Tip: For peak periods at Christmas and Easter
the 'cheapo' tickets go on sale about eight or nine weeks before the respective
festive period and by 'cheapo' we mean around £25 return to cross most of the
country rising to three or four times the price if you leave it to the last
minute.
32. Don't fly on Fridays or Saturdays
Useless advice if you want to get away for a week at half-term but during the
summer or Easter if you can fly on weekdays you can save a lot of money. BA.com
has a useful fare search tool that allows you to select the cheapest day to fly.
33. It's your (holiday) money
Remember commission-free doesn't mean profit free. Shop around before exchanging
currency.
