Low Deposits & Pay by Instalments

We get it. Not everyone has the money to pay for a holiday in full right now, and why should you, especially if you’re not travelling for another six months or more?

That’s why we offer our much-used Low Deposit and monthly instalment plans.

With our Low Deposit option, you can secure your holiday from just £49 per person or 50% of the total flight cost - whichever is greater. That means you can lock in today’s price, secure your preferred flights and hotel, and spread the cost over time.

It’s a smarter, more flexible way to book, making holidays more accessible for everyone.

Why Low Deposits Are Great for You

Book Early, Pay Over Time

Secure your holiday now and spread the remaining balance across manageable instalments.

Lock in the Price

Protect yourself against price increases by booking ahead and securing your chosen dates and hotel.

Secure the Best Availability

Popular hotels and flight times sell out fast — a low deposit helps you secure your first choice.

How Our Low Deposit Scheme Works

Pay from £49 per person or 50% of the total flight cost (whichever is greater) to secure your booking.
The remaining balance will be taken in instalments.
Your final payment will be taken between 14 and 4 weeks before departure, depending on the arrangements chosen.
All agreed instalment details will be clearly outlined on your booking confirmation sent at the time of booking.
Once the final payment has been taken, your relevant tickets and vouchers for your trip will be issued.

All payments will be taken from the same payment card used to confirm your booking, which must be in the lead passenger’s name.

Important Information

The Low Deposit scheme does not apply to non-refundable rooms.
It is only available on selected holidays.
An administration fee of £4.95 (which covers our admin costs for managing payments) will be payable each time an instalment is made and will be added to each payment transaction.
We reserve the right to withdraw our Low Deposit scheme at any time.

If You Need to Make Changes

If you cancel, the full deposit must be paid in addition to any cancellation charges applied by the relevant supplier and our administration charge.
If you add extras or make amendments to your booking, you will be asked to pay any additional relevant charges once the changes are applied.

Flexible payment fees

We aim to keep things transparent. The following fees may apply:

Payment Date Change

You can move your payment date forward by up to 14 days (but not your final balance date). Each payment date can only be changed once. Fee: £5

Insufficient Funds Fee

If there are insufficient funds in your account when we attempt to take payment, a fee will apply.

Fee: £25, which is added to the total balance of your booking (plus the £4.95 administration fee if a part payment is collected).
