IntroductionAll of the information and sites provided below represent some of the best money saving deals for your holiday travels. Having scoured the internet for weeks trying to get the cheapest deals for our family holiday. I decided to compile a list of the companies I used for my flights, hotels, currency and insurance cover. Hopefully the list will save you time and most of all money. Main Travel Requirements (with quick links)(1) Cheap Flights -Latest flight deals

(5) 0% Commission on Foreign Currency -Currency Converter

(7) All In One Thompson Holidays Packages -Thomson Holidays (1) Cheap Flights(2) Cheap HotelsHotelopia.com have some excellent hotels with very competative prices. I have booked several hotels over the years with hotelopia as unlike other sites which surprise you with service fees, credit card charges and unexpected taxes, Hotelopia quotes the final price upfront. The total you see in your search results is the total charged to your card.
 Hotels.com has a great selection of Hotels to choose from and also guarantee to be be the lowest rate online. ( see here) "Prepaid hotel and self catering reservations booked through hotels.com are guaranteed to be the lowest rate you can find."
 (3) Cheap Car Hire Woldwide car hire deals with lastminute.com (4) Travel InsuranceI finally came across Direct Travel and was more than pleased with the price and even more pleased with the cover. We needed atleast 365 days cover for our years trip to south east Asia and found that the Backpacker Single Trip policy gave us all the cover we needed. The added bonus was compared to other insurers the policy was around three hundred pounds cheaper. There are other types of insurance available from single trip, annual multi-trip, ski insurance to backpacker insurance. Direct Travel Insurance Services was established in late 1992 and commenced trading in 1993. Since that time, they've become one of the UK's leading independent travel insurance specialists, having arranged insurance for over four and a half million travellers.All their policies are underwritten by AXA Insurance UK plc, the largest travel insurer in the UK. (6) 0% Commission Travel Credit CardIf you have ever travelled abroad you probably will have been charged a hefty 2.75% on any purchases you made using your credit card. The post office has an excellent card for travellers which charges 0% commission on purchases overseas (see www.postoffice.co.ukg(16578268)a(1316325)) for details)
