Directline looks at holidays by monthly instalment
Directline Holidays is considering customers paying for holidays in monthly instalments following requests from holidaymakers.
The online travel agent claims it has had a 27% increase in holidays booked at least six months ahead and puts the success down to its new low deposit scheme.
Holidaymakers can secure a holiday for as little as £25 per person.
Directline says it is also looking at customers paying off their holiday on a monthly basis like a car or sofa instalment.
"It’s something we’re currently considering," said chief executive Maria Whiteman.
"Holidaymakers will do whatever it takes to save money and secure the best price for their holiday. However, buying a holiday in one go is often beyond a lot of pay-packets and people are finding alternative payment options much more convenient."
