Despite the squeeze on our wallets, most of us are still hoping to get away this summer. Holidays don't have to break the bank and there are numerous ways to save while you travel. Here are some tips that can save you hundreds of pounds
1. Try a house-swapping holiday
You can swap homes with other families in Britain.
2.
3. Travel using a Railcard
Two out of every three Britons qualify!
4. Always ask about Family or Group discounts
Use the Family &Friends Railcard when travelling in Britain.
5. Conduct research before you leave
Before you depart, spend some time researching your destination.
6. Enjoy a volunteer break
Go on a volunteering holiday. You have to pay but the prices are generally reasonable.
7. Take advantage of partnership offers
Use existing partnership offers or points where you can.
8. Get the right travel cover
Even if you are not leaving the British Isles it is always important to have the right travel insurance.
9. Book early
The earlier you book - for trains, planes and boats - the cheaper the fare will be (unless you go for a really last-minute deal).
