In the UK we do not tend to haggle much on the price of goods and services although in many other countries across the world this is common practice. Many of us have had to cancel or put our holidays on hold this year due to lockdown. You may find that you have had some of your holiday refunded but not the rest meaning you don’t have as much money to book again. So can you barter on a holiday to get it for a cheaper price? The answer is yes you can although not all travel agents will be flexible on prices. Many will shop around and find you a cheaper price if you are willing to change the date you travel by a few days but they may not then reduce the price further. You may have more luck with independent travel agents who may have more control over the discount they can offer although they will often not have as much profit to be able to play with as some of the larger companies.
You need to find a good price online that you can use as a comparison for haggling with. Be sure to find out exactly what is included in the price such as luggage allowance and transfers. Once you have this you can then go in to a travel agent and see if they can beat the price you have been quoted online.
