Must-have savings on holiday essentials

Did somebody say ‘heatwave’?!

Phew! With sunny weather and summer storms hitting our shores, it’s safe to say that the British summer is well and truly here.

Whatever your plans, skip the stress and save money when preparing to go away with exclusive discounts on all the holiday essentials when you shop with Defence Discount Service!

Top things Brits forget to bring on holiday

While carry on rules may have changed, there’s nothing worse than being caught with your pants down (or having forgotten to pack them entirely!). 

From toothbrushes to travel adaptors, we’ve previously listed the most common items Brits forget to bring on holiday as well as including handy links to help you cut the cost of a replacement!

Whether you’re travelling abroad or have booked a UK break, cover all your bases in advance of your trip and make sure your holiday is hassle-free with our exclusive range of discounts on holiday essentials.

Need to rent a car?

With over 450 UK branches (and over 7000 globally), Enterprise Rent-a-car will Pick You Up® from your home or office, or help you save while visiting your favourite holiday destinations!

Alternatively, Europcar also operate across 140 countries worldwide and have more than 200 locations across the UK, meaning renting a car or van has never been easier or - with both brands offering 10% off for our members - cheaper!

Planning a road trip?

The last thing anyone wants to deal with is their car breaking down mid-journey.

Luckily, the RAC fix four out of five cars roadside within 30 minutes so, whether you need an emergency tire change or a 10-mile boost to the nearest charge point, investing in breakdown cover makes so much sense – especially when its being offered at just £4 a month with no hidden costs!

Save on coach travel with National Express!

Don’t want to drive? No problem! 

Non-serving members can now put their feet up and leave the car at home with 30% off travel to over 900 towns, cities and airports across the UK. Valid on all National Express services (totalling more than 550 coaches!), there’s no easier way to relax and explore the UK.

This offer is only for Defence Discount Service members however, so don’t forget to show your Defence Privilege Card when boarding!

Protect what matters

Accidents happen and though it’s not nice to think of the worst happening when you’re planning an exciting trip away, it’s important to make sure you protect yourself and your family – particularly when you consider the potential cost of being injured or becoming ill while abroad.

Defence Discount Service members (including those with pre-existing medical conditions) can save 12% on travel insurance (from single trips to long stays) with TravelTime, Explorer Travel and Just Travel Cover.
