In order to make the most of your holiday budget next year you will need to cut back on general costs, this does not necessarily mean you need to find a cheaper hotel or cut back on activities. Save money by cutting back the unneeded things when you travel abroad. Cannibalise the excursions deals - holiday providers offer family excursions for very high prices, with enough research you can enjoy the same experience for almost half the amount. Find out if you can rent a car and pay separately into the attraction. Book theme park tickets separately - again, you will be charged additional charges if you book through the tour operator, in some cases you can save over £40 for a family of four. Eat breakfast out - some hotels in the US and France charge for breakfast separately so it pays off to venture out to a local café, this way you enjoy the local cuisine a lot more. Insure when you hire - if your vehicle suffers from a scrape when in your control abroad, the excess could set you back hundreds of pounds so try to insure your vehicle, you can obtain annual car hire insurance which will cover any excess charges. Stay one step ahead when hiring a car - use your own child seat to avoid rental costs and drive the car back with a full amount of fuel to avoid additional high fuel charges. Fill up in France - if you are travelling across Europe you need to be aware that fuel prices differ a lot throughout the borders. French supermarket garages work out the cheapest for diesel so it might be worth holding out until then; also avoid tolls by planning ahead. Follow these tips to save cash for your holidays, look at booking all inclusive holidays or package holidays online as this could save you a lot of money.
