Frequently Asked Questions

HelpMe-Holiday is an independent holiday planning website created to make choosing and planning a trip simpler. We provide destination guidance, practical travel advice, holiday planning tools and selected links to booking options covering areas including beach holidays, city breaks, family holidays, couples holidays and UK breaks. Where we include links to external travel providers, bookings are completed directly with those providers.

No. HelpMe-Holiday is not a tour operator or booking agent. Where we provide links to holiday companies or other travel providers, you will complete your search or booking directly on the provider’s website. Prices, availability, booking conditions and customer support are therefore provided by the company you book with.

Yes. Some pages may contain affiliate links to selected travel companies and service providers. If you follow one of these links and make a booking or purchase, HelpMe-Holiday may receive a commission. This does not normally increase the price you pay. Affiliate partnerships do not change our aim of providing useful information to help you make your own holiday choices.

Yes. Our Downloads section includes free packing lists and practical checklists covering holiday preparation, beach holidays, family trips, cruises and UK breaks. We’ll continue adding new downloads as the website develops.

Yes. Our Holiday Extras section covers practical additions to your trip, including travel insurance, airport parking, lounges, transfers, car hire and other services. As the section develops, we’ll also include selected booking options where relevant.

Because bookings are made directly with external travel providers, any changes, cancellations, refunds or booking queries need to be handled by the company you booked with. Your booking confirmation should contain the relevant contact information.

Yes. You can browse our destination guides, travel advice and planning resources without paying to use HelpMe-Holiday. Some external services or bookings we link to will, of course, have their own charges and terms.
