50 ways to save on your holidays

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. Visit This is Money to read the holiday article in full.

13. Save up for the holiday you really want
You don't have to slum it. If you plan ahead and save your money like people did in the 'olden' days, you can have the holiday you want, where you want and when you want - even in the school holidays.

14. Take your bike
If you can't travel in the small hours, taking your family by car to the Continent in the summer can cost a small fortune. So long as you tell the ferry company in advance, most will allow you to take your bikes for free. This is especially viable if you're visiting Holland or the Belgian coast, which are famously rather flat.

15. Go youth hostelling
Did you know that in spite of the name, youth hostels are not the preserve of the young - and many have family rooms?

19. Haggle for your hotel by email
One tip we like is to find accommodation recommended in guide books and on the travel websites - then email them directly to check for availability. Wait a few weeks and check again. If it's still available you're in a strong position to haggle for a deal. Email is particularly useful for people who hate haggling face to face or by phone.

20. Collect newspaper tokens
Many newspapers have a travel club or offer travel discounts that involve collecting tokens. Some of them offer a fantastic opportunity to save money on your holiday. Others don't, so always read the small print.

21. Check the latest exchange rates
Fluctuations in the value of the pound can mean the difference between being able to afford a holiday in the US and not. At current rates, America is around 20% cheaper than a couple of years ago. Also, think about visiting countries with currencies aligned to the dollar such as those in Latin America and the Caribbean.
