If you need a break, there’s a way to shop cleverly so that you can enjoy a well-earned holiday without spending all of your hard-earned cash.

If you’re partial to a package, cashback site Quidco has plenty of Virgin Holiday deals including a 2 for 1 offer at selected Sandals resorts.  Valid on bookings made before 31 May, there’s also a 5% discount for purchasing online. So, an £800.00 break would be reduced to £400.00, and the 5% discount reduces the cost further to £380.00.

There are loads of other handy travel deals around too, including these gems:

• You can currently earn cashback on the travel deals on SecretSales, on top of their already-discounted offers. These change regularly and sell out fast, so check Quidco daily for new offers.
• For something less far flung, Brittany Ferries Holidays has savings of up to 25% on their French cottage holidays, plus 7% cashback. The deals include ferry travel, and cottages are in some of the most popular French holiday destinations.
• Expedia also has a wide range of holiday offers for all tastes and budgets, including different ‘deals of the day’, discounts and 5% cashback.

If you don’t mind doing a bit more research, you can make great savings by booking your travel and accommodation separately. There are some excellent hotel offers available right now. For example:

• At lastminute.com there’s up to 40% discount on Hilton Hotels right now, plus 12% cashback. These usually get snapped up pronto, so get in there quick if you’re looking for high-end hotels at approximately half price.
• Hotels.com is offering an increased rate of 10% cashback, which you can combine with special offers. Try their ‘dealfinder’ feature to snap up a bargain.
• Quidco favourite hotels4u has some of the best room rates around, and are offering an exclusive cashback rate of 6%.
• The Doyle Collection of luxury hotels have increased their cashback to 9%.

You can also always find a broad range of cashback deals on Quidco if you’re looking for car hire and cover. Here are a couple of current special offers:

• Holiday Autos are offering up to 25% off car hire in Portugal, plus 10% cashback for bookings made before 22 May.
• If you’re holidaying in the UK and driving to your destination, don’t forget to make sure your breakdown cover’s up to date. RAC have a free recovery offer, plus up to 15% cashback until the end of May.

Enjoy your trip!
