Holiday Extras is one of the UK’s largest travel extras booking sites, covering airport parking, airport hotels, lounge access, fast track security, car hire, and transfers. NHS staff and Blue Light Card holders can use the comparison tool to find the lowest available price across multiple operators at each UK airport.
What discount does Holiday Extras offer NHS staff?
Holiday Extras does not run a fixed NHS percentage discount in the same way that APH does with their 15% off. The savings come from early booking discounts and the ability to compare multiple providers quickly. Booking through Holiday Extras well in advance can save up to 30% compared to turning up and paying on the day, and a price match promise means if the same product is found cheaper within 24 hours, the difference is refunded.
Free cancellation is available on many bookings, which is particularly useful for NHS workers whose shifts can change at short notice.
What does Holiday Extras cover?
Airport parking is the core product, covering most UK airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and more. Airport hotels are listed with and without parking packages for those needing to stay near an airport the night before a flight. Lounge access is available at most UK airports, typically from around £20 to £30 per person, giving a quieter pre-flight option for longer waits.
Fast track security is bookable at several UK airports from around £3 to £5 per person, useful at busy airports during peak travel periods. Car hire is also covered, comparing rates from major providers at UK and overseas airports, alongside airport transfer options from home to departure.
Is the Purple Parking NHS discount available through Holiday Extras?
Purple Parking is one of the operators listed on Holiday Extras and offers around 12% off for NHS staff. Rates appear alongside other operators when searching for a specific airport, making it easy to compare whether the Purple Parking NHS rate is the best available deal on a given date. Early bookings through another operator on Holiday Extras often work out cheaper even without a specific NHS discount.
Tips for getting the best deal through Holiday Extras
Booking as early as possible gives the lowest prices, as parking and hotel rates increase as the travel date approaches. Selecting free cancellation where available adds flexibility at a typically small price premium, which matters more for NHS staff given variable shift patterns. Checking shuttle bus transfer times and frequency in the reviews before booking an off-site car park is worthwhile, as transfer quality varies considerably between operators at the same airport. All NHS airport parking deals are also listed in the Airport Parking category.
