What we do
Holiday Extras has over 40 years' experience of providing ancillary travel services, including airport parking, airport hotels, airport lounges, airport transfers, car hire, holiday insurance and UK breaks. Combining innovative technology with award-winning customer service, Holiday Extras' expert team helps over 8 million travellers every year with their travel needs.
The Holiday Extras Story
Holiday Extras was founded in 1983 by Gerry Pack to provide affordable airport parking. Over time, we expanded into airport hotels and travel insurance. In 1995, we became pioneers by launching the UK's first online airport parking booking system. Our focus on innovation led to offerings like flexible cancellation and mobile bookings. By the 2010s, we had served millions of travellers, establishing ourselves as a leader in travel extras.
Remaking the holidaymaking
By anticipating each customer's needs, wants and dreams, we help make it easy, fun and fast to plan and enjoy every trip.
Holiday Extras's mission - to make travel hassle-free
Our Group CEO, Matthew Pack, is committed to the vision of hassle-free travel. Since taking on the role of chief executive in 2009 - then Group CEO in 2015, he has inspired the team to explore increasingly creative and innovative directions across the whole business.
Holiday Extras consists of 6 unique businesses, providing ancillary travel services. Each of these supports the others in our mission to make travel hassle-free.
- Park-IT is bespoke technology, built in-house to help streamline how suppliers run their car parks providing a better customer experience with high-tech key technology.
- Oak Creative is a creative agency specialising in brand development, digital design, marketing and web development.
- Parkspace by Chauntry houses inventory for our Holiday Extras products as well as airports all around the world.
- Adventures run and operate online package booking platforms for theme park partners in the UK as well as theatre breaks and experiences.
The Holiday Extras brand promises less hassle, more holiday.
We're building the future of travel
At Holiday Extras, we believe that time is precious and that holidays are some of the most precious times of all. That belief drives us every day. Holidays are good for us. They are when we spend time being ourselves with the people we care most about. They rejuvenate us, educate us and bring the world closer together. Because we believe holiday time is precious, we really want you to have the best possible time you can with your holiday time. Through our products and award-winning services we offer you less hassle so that you can enjoy more holiday. That's our "why". Less hassle, more holiday.
We create products and services to make travel easy, simple and fun. We protect time and promote wellbeing because we believe life is short and free time is the most precious time of all. Our commitment to sustainability for the future of travel and tourism means we believe in putting purpose beyond profit.
Our purpose is to offer customers less so they get more. Read more about our purpose here.
