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.
