Brass-necked Brits top bartering poll
Brits are more likely to haggle for a good holiday deal and better prices whilst away than the French, Germans and Spanish, according to a survey by holiday deals finder Travelzoo.
The survey , which was conducted as part of Travelzoo’s Britain’s Savviest Traveller competition, also found that British people were less likely to boast about the bargains they had found than our continental cousins – only 41% said they would reveal their discovery of cheap deals at a dinner party compared to 80% of German travellers.
Some 2,000 people across the UK, France, Germany and Spain were polled to find out how good they were at bartering travel providers down.
Travelzoo said the results showed that six out of ten travellers are now more likely to negotiate than in 2008. The same amount said they spent more time looking for deal now than they did two years ago.
