Low deposit holidays & pay monthly deals
Book your holiday now and pay later
Want to book a holiday now but haven’t got quite enough in the bank to do it? With low deposit holidays, you can secure your spot on the beach by putting down a small deposit upfront then paying the rest of the balance off in instalments before you go. With zero deposit holidays, you won’t need to pay anything now but will need to commit to regular payments.
That’s right, you could add some time in the sun to your diary to make getting through the 9 to 5 easier and spread the cost. Low deposit holidays are perfect if you’re a deal hunter who likes to book in advance. You’ll need to pay your final balance off an agreed number of days before you board your plane – then all you need to think about is whether you head straight to the beach on arrival or fancy pool time first.

How do low and zero deposit holidays work?
To make booking a holiday more affordable, many travel companies offer cheap low and £0 deposit holiday deals. With these, you can secure your break with a small upfront deposit, or by setting up a payment plan, then you’ll need to make a number of payments in the run up to your trip to pay off the balance. There will be a deadline of a set number of days before your departure to pay the full balance so always read your terms and conditions.
What’s the difference between a low deposit holiday and £0 deposit holiday?
The obvious difference between low deposit and zero deposit holidays is the amount you’ll need to pay upfront to secure your getaway. Both are flexible payment options allowing you to book a break without paying in one lump sum - but you’ll have to commit to regular instalments to pay your full holiday balance off by an agreed date.
Frequently asked questions about flexible payment holidays
What are the benefits of booking a low or no deposit holiday?
Whether you’ve found a killer deal or love to have holidays in the diary in advance, low and no deposit holidays allow you to book without having to pay the total cost straight away.
What counts as a low deposit?
Different travel companies offer different low deposit amounts, and these may vary for the types of holidays you are looking at as well as how far in advance you are booking.
Can I pay monthly after paying the low deposit?
After you’ve paid your low deposit, you’ll need to set up a way to pay your balance off in instalments. This is often monthly in the run up to your trip – but easyJet, as an example, is more flexible letting you pay in as many or as few payments as you like so long as you pay your final balance in full in an agreed timeframe.
What are pay monthly holidays?
Low and no deposit holidays are also known as pay monthly holidays as you are often required to pay your balance off in monthly instalments.
When is the remainder due?
Your final balance payment date will be set by the company you book with, so make sure you read its terms and conditions.
Are re-payment plans interest free?
Pay monthly holiday deals are often interest free but always read the terms and conditions of the deal you are considering before booking. Look out for hidden costs too, such as admin fees or charges to move payment dates.
Is low deposit cheaper than £0 deposit?
Low and £0 deposits are flexible payment options, and both will be subject to terms and conditions, so check what these are. The advantage of low deposit holidays is that you will already have paid some of the final balance off.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancellation terms will still apply to low and zero deposit holidays, so check what these are before booking. There may be different cancellation fees depending how close to your trip you want to cancel, you may lose your deposit amount, you may be charged a set cancellation fee or you might have to pay for the whole holiday if you cancel at the last minute.
