History of Holiday Extras

Holiday Extras is one of the UK's best online shopping places for discounted holiday add-ons such as hotel stays, airport parking and holiday insurance. The company is able to offer hassle free booking that allows the customer to compare and pick between the 8,000 travel agents and partners that Holiday Extras works with. This large number of partners means that the customer is spoilt for choice when choosing what they need to improve their holiday, making the process all the more easy. holidayextras.co.uk typically solves the problems at the start and end of the holiday, improving and simplifying the logistics of the holiday, which can often be the most stressful bit!

Holiday Extras was originally founded as the Apple Booking Company (ABC) in 1983 by Gerry Pack. Pack's initiative allowed customers to book discounted hotel stays before or after their flights from Gatwick, Luton or Heathrow. In 1986 the company began to branch out into offering travel insurance and airport parking. It later changed its name to ABC Holiday Extras. In 2003 the company was renamed to what it is currently known as, Holiday Extras. The current CEO of the Holiday Extras group is Matthew Pack.

Holiday Extras has been awarded a number of prizes in recognition of the company's successes. holidayextras.com won the TTG Travel Company of the Year award in 2014. More recently, the Travel Weekly Globe Awards in 2015 named Holiday Extras the Best Insurance Provider for the seventh year in a row, and to top it off, The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For 2015 named Holiday Extras number five in the Mid-Companies category.
