A few years ago the airport transfers industry didn’t really exist, prior to the internet the only way to book your holiday was to either to shop around travel agents with armfuls of brochures looking for the best package holiday deal or for the technology-conscious, to sit in front of Ceefax. Endlessly trawling through page after page of deals quickly trying to note down the destination, price, phone number and check whether they were ATOL approved before the page flicked from page 5 of 55 to page 6 of 55. If you weren’t quick enough you knew you would have to sit there for 20 minutes waiting for it to come back round again. Then when you did call them about a Ceefax deal you were inevitably told "oh sorry, that one has just gone but we have got an almost identical one for an extra £200".

Fortunately those days are long gone and the rise of the internet means that the airport transfers industry is thriving and airport transfers popularity grows stronger every year. Because so much information is at our fingertips and we no longer have to take the word of travel agents that they are giving us the best package deal they have available, we feel brave enough to delve deeper into our holidays and get real value for money. By booking airport transfers, flights and accommodation separately we can save hundreds of pounds off the price of a package holiday, and not only do you save money, you feel a sense of achievement that you know exactly where your hard earned money is going.

The airport transfers included in package holidays were often grossly inflated in cost, when in reality some deals start from under£3 depending on the destination and form of carriage you want. Airport transfers with private taxis etc can cost more, but for a basic coach ride to your hotel or apartment the costs are really low. The choice of reputable airport transfers companies out there is wide ranging and extensive and because of this competition, costs are very low and almost any worldwide destination can be accommodated. If you want to save money on your holiday, then sourcing your own airport transfers is a great place to start.

I found a great little website called www.compareairporttransfer.co.uk which compared the top airport transfers companies for me so I didn’t even have to shop around for the best deal. By using them and also booking my flights and apartment separately I saved hundreds of pounds on my holiday.
