How to make your money go further on holiday - and what to avoid
Guidance is offered on reducing holiday costs through planning, pre-booking excursions, sharing luggage, using low‑fee payment cards, avoiding airport currency exchange, and managing airport‑related expenses. Travellers are advised to avoid tourist‑area restaurants, document rental cars to prevent false damage claims, and purchase independent insurance to avoid high fees at pickup.
