Having your own static caravan in a favourite holiday park is a great way to holiday on a low budget, but selling your caravan doesn\u2019t have to mean the end of cheap holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, <\/span>selling your static will free up a lot of extra cash<\/span><\/a>, but if you\u2019re still wondering how to save money and have a cheap holiday, our quick guide will point you in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick a cheap destination<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not exactly news that some destinations are going to cost you more than others, but closer to home doesn\u2019t always mean cheaper. Consider travel costs for various destinations, but also how much things are going to cost when you\u2019re there. The Telegraph has a great <\/span>guide to the cheapest European cities<\/span><\/a> to visit, while Business Insider has a list of some of the <\/span>cheapest beach holidays<\/span><\/a>. Need more inspiration? Put your dates and your budget into <\/span>Kayak\u2019s Explore tool<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019ll find where all the cheapest flights are going.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick cheaper dates<\/b><\/p>\n

Clearly the school summer holidays aren\u2019t the most cost-effective time to travel, so if avoid those six weeks if you can, but even if that\u2019s your only option there\u2019s still wiggle room when in comes to choosing your exact dates. Tools like <\/span>SkyScanner<\/span><\/a> can help you pick the dates when flights to a particular destination are at their cheapest, while flying mid-week might get you a better a deal. It\u2019s also worth considering the time that you\u2019re travelling, particularly if you\u2019re staying in the UK, as off-peak travel at quieter times can be a lot cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out price comparison websites<\/b><\/p>\n

Perhaps the easiest way to find a cheap option, there\u2019s a huge range of price comparison sites available to compare flights, hotels and other elements of your holiday. MoneySavingExpert recommends Kayak for a comprehensive flight comparison, while we like Trivago for hotels. There\u2019s no end to the amount of services you can compare, including car hire, airport transfers and travel money, so shop around to get the best deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go all-inclusive<\/b><\/p>\n

You could save hundreds of pounds on the overall cost of your trip if you opt for an all-inclusive holiday. While the upfront cost will be higher, the savings on food, drink, entertainment and travel will quickly add up, leaving you with more cash in your pocket at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take your own food<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re not suggesting you pack a week\u2019s rations into your suitcase, but packing food for the journey is a quick and easy money-saving move. Service stations, train stations and airports aren\u2019t known for being wallet-friendly places to eat or drink, so planning ahead with a packed lunch or a selection of snacks can help to keep the whole family happy without breaking the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rent a caravan<\/b><\/p>\n

Chances are, you invested in a static caravan in part because you enjoy spending your breaks with your family or friends on a holiday park. This doesn\u2019t have to end when you sell your caravan, and it won\u2019t need to cost you a fortune either. Take a look at the website of your favourite holiday park to see what deals they can offer, or branch out and try somewhere new using a site like <\/span>BreakFreeHolidays.co.uk<\/span><\/a> to compare the best deals at holiday parks across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n
