Travel deals

Halfords: Free 10-point car check and £5 voucher

If you join the Halfords Motoring Club for free, you can get a free £5 voucher to spend online or in-store at Halfords and a free 10-point car check, worth £15.

There’s a Premium tier for £54 per year that gets you your MOT (worth £44.99), 2 10-point car checks, a free fitting of wiper blades or headlights and 5% off at the autocentres and in-store. 

This is generally a pretty good deal, but definitely worthwhile if you’re having enough work on your car to make the most of the 5% off, don’t know how to change your headlights or windscreen wipers and would usually do your MOT at Halfords. 

Asda: get 5p a litre off if you spend £40 in store (ended)

From now until July 31, anyone spending £40 or more in-store at Asda can get 5p a litre off petrol and diesel when filling up at an Asda fuel station.

You have until Friday, August 7, to use the voucher.

To take advantage of the offer you need to have signed up to Asda rewards and use your account when making the purchase.

The money off coupon then automatically appears in your Asda Rewards app and can be redeemed by scanning your Asda Rewards barcode, followed by the coupon, at the pump or kiosk.

The money-off deal will work at all 321 of Asda’s fuel stations nationwide.

Barclays/Tesco: get 5% cashback on fuel (ended)

From 1 May to 31 July 2026, Barclays customers can get 5% cashback on fuel from Tesco fuel stations. You can get cashback on purchases between £5 and £200, and you need to use a personal Barclays debit card to get it. Cashback is capped at £10 per month – so you can earn on up to £200 of fuel.

With Unleaded currently costing an average of £1.57 per litre, if you usually spend less than £200 on fuel in a month, you’re bringing the average cost per litre down to £1.49.

Barclays currently has a switching bonus of £200, so you can earn a little extra cash on a switch and save money on petrol.

Free bus travel for kids during August

The Government has made bus travel free for all children, between five and 15 years old, on local routes in England until August 31.

The government has listed all the participating bus services on its website.

£3 bus fare cap

Bus fares have been capped at £3 one way in England from January 2025. Not all bus companies are taking part – you can see a detailed list of the companies and routes here.

Train & railcard discounts

From £5 off through to flash sales, we’ve listed the best train ticket savings in a separate deals page here.

British Airways: Up to £200 off last-minute holidays (ended)

People booking Spring holidays before midnight on Tuesday 26 May can get up to £200 off thanks to a British Airways sale.

Savings apply to new Flight + Hotel or Flight + Car Holiday Package bookings from for travel between 26 May 2026 and 24 July 2026 inclusive. 

You need to depart from London Gatwick, London Heathrow or London City airports to destination in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Malta, Morocco, Portugal and the Canary Islands where holiday packages are offered to qualify.

EasyJet: Spring Sale – Thousands of seats for less than £40 (ended)

EasyJet has launched its spring event – offering thousands of tickets for less than £40 and some for under £20. The deals run for flights in May and June.

A quick check showed flights at £19.99 to Amsterdam, Malta or Milan for £25.99, Berlin for £31.99 and Copenhagen for £28.99.

There are limited seats on these flights but there are a few options per destination, for example the £19.99 Amsterdam flight takes off on June 9 from Gatwick airport at 6am and 5pm, but there’s also two £19.99 flights on June 16 for the same price. Other dates or times of day could cost you as much as £69.99 for the same trip.

You also need to watch out for add-ons, with that £19.99 flight price soaring to as much as £105.96 if you want hold luggage, speedy boarding, and a large cabin bag too.

But if you’re flexible about destinations and timings, there are some great bargains to be found.

Wizz Air: All You Can Fly subscription (ended)

If you travel a lot, then this new membership from Wizz might appeal. You’ll pay £599 a year for unlimited flights.

In sounds good, but there are a number of catches:

• Booking only starts in September 2024
• There’s an extra 9.99 Euro fee on each flight
• You can only book seats on flights that depart in the next three days, making return trips a little risky
• It doesn’t include handheld or checked bags (so they’re extra)
• Only one personal item is included (max. size 40 x 30 x 20 cm)
• If you miss three flights your membership will be cancelled without a refund
• It’ll automatically renew each year unless you cancel

Overall it sounds like more hassle than it’s worth, especially when you consider there are cheap tickets available in advance from Wizz and other airlines.

However, if you’re retired or have the flexibility to travel regularly and at the drop of a hat, it could be worth a look.

Ryanair: Flash sale – Flights from £19.99 or less (ended)

Ryanair has slashed the price of hundreds of flights to just £19.99 or less – but only until the end of Thursday, May 14. The sale covers flights from now until the end of June.

A quick check showed flights at or under £19.99 to destinations in Italy, Spain, France, Croatia; Portugal and more from London Stansted; people flying from Manchester can also pick form destinations including Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Croatia; Poland and Belgium; while those taking off from Edinburgh can pick between places like Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Spain.

There are limited dates for the deal, which only covers flights between now and the end of June 30th, but it could be perfect for a last-minute getaway. It’s also worth saying these flights are one way, although there are also deals for similar prices on return flights – if you can find one that suits you.

At the time of writing, for example, there was a £15 flight from Edinburgh to Copenhagen available on June 16, and a return flight on June 17 for £15 too. Or, if you want more than a few hours in the Danish capital and are willing to spend £4 more, you could pick up a flight out to Copenhagen on June 14 for £19 and have three days until you have to fly back.
