Holiday saving tips are always welcome, but this year, after almost two years of Covid restrictions and financial struggles for many, they are more important than ever. Saving experts from NetVoucherCodes share their bargain tips.
To keep the cost of UK holidays down, recommendations include booking early and looking for discounts online.
A caravan staycation should already be saving holidaymakers money, with its self-catering option.
And there’s no need to try and book an overpriced hotel in some of the most popular staycation destinations around the UK.
A spokesperson for NetVoucherCodes.co.uk said: “Many people will opt for a staycation in the UK this year due to Coronavirus restrictions and uncertainties.

“With the wealth of gorgeous places to visit in the UK once restrictions are lifted, we thought we’d put together a guide on how to make the trip as cost effective as possible.”
Looking for discount codes could mean big savings.
Many of the big tour operators and caravan parks provide discount codes on top of offering free child places and last-minute deals.
Finding one of these codes should help caravanning Britons slash their holiday expenses.
DON’T MISS
The cost of petrol can vary widely from one station to another.
Tourists should use loyalty points if they have them and keep an eye out for cheap petrol prices on the road.
Whenever caravanning holidaymakers may need petrol, it may save them money to go somewhere like a supermarket forecourt.
The prices in supermarket forecourts tend to be lower than in motorway service stations.
It may seem like a contrary advice amid Covid uncertainty but booking in advance can also save holidaymakers a lot of money.
Experts stated: “Leaving it late to book could result in holidaymakers not being able to get the dates they want or secure the holiday park or place they have been dreaming of.
“Being organised pays off and booking holidays up to a year in advance can save a fortune – especially if you’re travelling as a family or large group with term time dates to take into consideration.”
It may be too late for this year, but holidaymakers may want to start looking for 2022.
The other side of the coin is to look at last-minute deals.
Some tourists may have cancelled their trips, leaving travel companies with space for last-minute bookings.
These spaces are usually discounted as they need to be filled as quickly as possible.
Savvy Britons could jump on the bargains and be off on a holiday before they know it.
The experts of NetVoucherCodes also have a tip to make your holiday as safe as possible and recommend that holidaymakers pay by credit card.
Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act means the card company become liable if anything goes wrong.
This means that if your holiday is cancelled because the caravan park goes bust, the card company will reimburse you.
