Everyone looks forward to planning and booking their main holiday of the year, yet many are limited to a strict budget and this can cause concerns that the money isn’t going to stretch far enough. However, there are some ways to save cash when it comes to going away. The following tips can hopefully help you to have the holiday you truly want.

Using the internet is certainly one of the easiest ways to help you plan your holiday on a budget. No longer being limited to having to book your flights, transfers and accommodation together means you can search for the cheapest options separately and combine them to suit your needs and finances.

Once you have decided on your destination, try looking on hotel comparison websites to find your ideal place to stay.

Consider whether you would benefit from an all-inclusive deal, full or half board or even self-catering. Depending on your needs, picking the right type of accommodation deal can save you a considerable amount of money. In countries where alcohol is expensive, all-inclusive could well be the best option, while self-catering can be a great cash saver if you know the area you are visiting has relatively cheap supermarkets where you can stock up.

And of course, one of the best ways to save money from the offset is by looking out for cheap flights online. With plenty of flight comparison websites out there, you can check out many different options to best get to your destination without breaking the bank. Choosing a different destination to fly from (providing the cost of getting there is more affordable than merely flying from your nearest airport) or having a stop-over on a longer haul flight are some of the more common ways to save on flights.

Look into both public transport and car hire if you choose to book a holiday without airport transfers. If you are satisfied that the country you are visiting has a reliable and accessible public transport system, then why not take advantage of it? It is often the cheaper option and also takes away the stress of driving in an unfamiliar environment.

When it comes to your holiday money, keep a close eye on the exchange rate and opt for a provider who does a commission free service. Many do free home delivery on large exchanges, so look out for these as well.

While not everyone may be able to afford 5-star stays on a private island, if you plan ahead and do your research wisely, you may be able to travel to destinations and stay in accommodations that you had previously thought were out of your reach.
