TravelSupermarket FAQs
We compare millions of holidays from the UK’s leading travel companies
TravelSupermarket is your one-stop-shop to compare prices on every aspect of your holiday. From package holidays and car hire to hotels and travel extras such as airport parking, our price comparison service means that you won’t need to pay a penny too much for your next getaway.
We don’t take bookings or payments directly. Once you find the best deal for you, we’ll direct you to book with one of our trusted partners (such as loveholidays, TUI or Jet2holidays). This means that we’re impartial and here to give you the best travel advice. But it also means that any changes, cancellations or refund requests from the holidays you’ve booked must be directed to the company you booked with rather than us.
What is TravelSupermarket?
TravelSupermarket is a price comparison site for all things holiday related. Whether you’re looking to find a cheap package holiday deal or would like to put a trip together yourself by finding the cheapest flights, hotels, car hire deals and travel extras – from airport parking and lounges to airport hotels – our handy comparison tools allow you to see a huge range of options side-by-side and in one place.
Once you’ve found the best deal for you, we’ll take you to one of our trusted partners ’ websites to book directly with them.
Do you sell holidays directly?
No, we’re a price comparison site. This means that we help you to compare travel related deals side-by-side from the UK’s top travel companies including easyJet holidays, TUI, Hertz and Avis. Once you’ve found the best deal for you, we’ll direct you to the relevant company’s website so you can book.
Does TravelSupermarket charge a fee?
TravelSupermarket is free, secure and easy to use. Our customers don’t pay anything to use our comparison services – we earn money from the travel companies who are on our site, either through a click-out fee, a percentage of the product purchased or a percentage of the premium where a policy is taken through TravelSupermarket.

Our car hire partners include Alamo, Sixt, Enterprise and Avis, plus a number of brokers.
Why should I use TravelSupermarket instead of going directly?
TravelSupermarket’s aim is to save our customers money and time by being a one-stop-shop to compare prices on all of the elements that make up a holiday. As we don’t sell holidays ourselves – we compare them – we are impartial.
Instead of having 20 tabs open to make sure you’ve got the best deal, we allow you to compare prices from the UK’s most trusted holiday, flight, hotel, car hire and travel extras companies in one place, side-by-side.
Will my bookings be protected by ATOL or ABTA?
At TravelSupermarket, we believe that a great deal isn’t just based on the cheapest price – your hard-earned money should be protected should anything go wrong, too. So, all of the travel companies on TravelSupermarket must provide financial protection for the package holidays that they sell in line with The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. If the package holiday you booked includes a flight, your holiday will be protected through the ATOL scheme. If your package holiday does not include a flight, protection will be provided by ABTA or the Travel Trust Association.
To make sure the travel company you want to book with holds an ATOL licence, check here.

How do I search for a holiday on TravelSupermarket?
Searching for a holiday on TravelSupermarket is easy. In our holiday search tool, simply fill in the details of your local airport or region, which destination you fancy (or let us inspire you by selecting ‘anywhere’), your dates, how long you’d like to travel for and who you’re travelling with. Then, let us do the hard work hunting for the best holiday deals to match.
When you have a list of options, you can browse them and sort them by price or your chosen filters.
Can I filter by board basis, star rating or budget?
Once you have a list of holiday options, you can find your perfect trip by filtering your results by destination, price, star rating, board basis and what’s included, such as baggage and transfers.
Why does the price sometimes change when I click through?
The prices you see on TravelSupermarket are the most up-to-date prices we have from the holiday companies we work with. However, holiday prices can change by the minute due to supply and demand so, occasionally, they might be slightly different when you click through to book. We work hard to keep these prices as accurate as possible.
Make sure everything you need for your holiday is included in the price, too. Not hiring a car? Check whether transfers are included. Can’t travel with hand luggage only? Find out whether you need to factor in an extra cost for hold luggage.
How often are prices updated?
The prices on TravelSupermarket are updated every two hours so we can show you the most up-to-date deals possible.
Can I compare different companies side-by-side on TravelSupermarket?
When you search for a holiday on TravelSupermarket, we scan millions of deals from more than 15 of the UK’s most trusted travel brands to offer up the best results for you. You will see prices from a range of companies in your search results – some package holidays will have prices from one company while others will have a range of prices from different companies. You can look at all of these side-by-side to choose the best deal for you.
