Flexible Payments and Smart Savings
With Christmas come and gone, saving is now well and truly at the forefront of everyone’s mind. With our flexible part payments and smart savings tips, you can take control of your holiday costs while enjoying the best rates. Whether it’s spreading out your payments or booking direct for discounts, we’re here to help you make the most of your getaway without breaking the bank.
Here’s everything you need to know to make your holiday planning easier.
Introducing part payments
We understand that budgeting for a holiday can feel overwhelming, which is why we’ve introduced part payments – a simple way to manage your holiday costs.
Here’s how it works:
All new bookings include the option to split your holiday costs into as many payments as you like.
Simply log in to your Guest Login account, where you can pay as little or as often as you like. Whether it’s £1, £50, or £100, every payment reduces your final balance.
For example, if your holiday costs £500 and you’ve already paid a 20% deposit (£100), the remaining £400 can be paid in one lump sum or spread across multiple smaller payments. The choice is entirely yours.
This flexible system is all about helping you feel in control.
Book smarter, Save more
Holidays are an investment, and knowing how to book wisely can save you a significant amount. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid Hidden Fees
Popular platforms like Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and VRBO are great for visibility, but did you know they charge hosts up to 15% per booking? These fees are often passed on to guests through higher prices, even if they’re not listed as a “service fee.”
- Book Direct for the Best Rates
If you find a holiday home you love on a third-party site, take a moment to search for its name on Google. Often, you’ll find letting agent’s direct website, where prices are lower because they don’t include third-party commission fees.
At AHL, we reward our direct bookers with savings you won’t find elsewhere, including a 5% discount for returning guests.
- Research Pays Off
Being a savvy holiday planner pays off. A quick Google search could save you hundreds of pounds – not just on your booking but also by avoiding unnecessary fees.
Plan ahead, Relax later
At AHL, our goal is to make holiday planning as smooth as possible. By offering part payments and encouraging smarter booking practices, we’re hopefully giving you the tools to save money and reduce stress.
Let us help you plan smarter, save more, and enjoy the holiday you deserve!
