If you booked a holiday during covid for travel this year or even next, the likelihood is that you got an incredible deal, as holiday companies encouraged people to rebook, or plan ahead with enticing offers! At this time we just didn’t know how good these offers would be, as we hadn’t considered the impact of a general increase in prices for almost everything post-covid.

The real winners are those of you who planned ahead securing your 2022 holiday with a low deposit and paying by direct debit.

This is why I’m encourage my clients to plan ahead, with many of them already booked for 2023 and even 2024!

Did you know that you can pay for your holiday by direct debit? It’s simple – secure your holiday with a small deposit and pay the balance in monthly instalments up to 6 weeks before travel!

So, if you’ve secured your dream Mauritius holiday for £5000 today (April 2022) for travel in May 2023 (the perfect time in my opinion to travel!), if you pay a 10% deposit (£500), it leaves a balance of £4500, which you’ll start paying next month (May 2022) and you can pay the balance in 10, monthly instalments of £450.

  1. Paying by direct debit allows you to plan well in advance and to secure those coveted swim-up rooms, or for you to plan well in advance for that bucket list trip, or maybe your honeymoon?
  2. Your monthly payments are interest free! Setting up a direct debit to pay for your holiday allows you to pay for it in smaller monthly amounts, making it easier to budget for, and why not if there’s no interest?
  3. If you choose to pay by Direct Debit your final payment is due much later! In most cases, you’re required to pay the balance of your holiday 14 weeks before departure. When paying via direct debit, the final payment isn’t due until 6 weeks before departure; giving you even more time to pay for your holiday.
  4. It’s simple to set up and completely automatic. We will automatically collect the amount agreed on the same date each month, so you don’t have to worry about missing any payments…
  5. You’re always in control! You can choose the number of instalments you wish to make, and you can always clear your balance at any time before the 6 weeks should you wish to.

Advice, recommendations and tips are made in good faith at the time of writing, however, things are constantly changing therefore it’s essential that you remain up-to-date with any requirements that may impact your holiday.
