dealchecker: A Users Guide
Although we like to think our bright colours and clear sections make dealchecker pretty easy to navigate, we thought we’d bring you, our faithful dealcheckers, our official Users Guide to all the different services we provide, just so you know exactly what’s on offer! We’re pretty proud of what we do, and we thought we’d take the opportunity to show off our skills…
Cheap Flights
Searching for cheap flights is incredibly easy with us; after you’ve entered your preferred search terms into our search tool, a list of different travel providers will pop up so you can compare all of them. We always like to stress that we’re NOT a travel agent – we don’t try to up sell, we aren’t interested in trying to get you to spend more money – quite the opposite, in fact. We even have a handy little ‘tick’ that checks off the providers you’ve searched for so that you can keep track of what you’ve already seen.
Car Hire
Looking for car hire is dull: we know this. Which is why we’ve created a great little tool that let you look through hundreds of car hire websites, but keep it all in one place. We can search through several car hire providers at one time, and tell you which ones have cheap car hire prices for your destination and travel dates. Whether you’re staying in England or are looking for car hire in Alicante, we can point you to the best car hire prices – or can do the same if you’re keeping it close to home. Find some cheap car hire here.
Hotels
Who doesn’t love a gorgeous hotel? There’s a wealth of offers available on the internet but we whittle them down so you can see offers from lots of different providers in one place. Tell us where you’re travelling to and we’ll tell you which travel sites specialise in cheap hotels to that area. We’ll also give you a link you directly to the hotels and prices for your preferred travel dates on those sites. Much easier than trawling the web for hours on end, we think you’ll agree. Check in here.
City Breaks
A short break should be just that – one that takes you a short amount of time to find! You also don’t want to spend ages searching for the best price – our recommendation is that you use the dealchecker.co.uk search tool above to quickly compare city break prices between some of the biggest names in travel. We also provide what we like to call our ‘inspiration’ section – whether you’re after a romantic city break, one in Europe, or even a US break – we’ve got it covered, along with our recommendations and information on the city itself! Book an amazing city break here.
Holidays
Holiday packages are always popular, probably because they sort everything in one fell swoop with minimum fuss! Our holiday tool lets you search by your choice of destination, and for your preferred travel dates, and will bring back beach holidays, package holidays, all inclusive holidays, family holidays and just about everything else! It doesn’t matter whether you want a romantic week in a Caribbean paradise or a girls holiday to Spain, there’s thousands of options. Our holidays section also boasts an ‘inspiration box’ which will throw out some ideas for where you could spend your next week in the sun! Search for holidays here.
Real Deals
If you’re signed up to our newsletter (and if you’re not…why not?!) you’ll know that once a week our hard working Deal Hunters track down the cream of the crop in travel and present the top twenty to you! Our deal hunters search high and low to find the best offers around, and we have stringent ‘security checks’ in place to make sure that the price you see is the price you’ll get – with no nasty hidden extras or surprises along the way! Check our deals out here. Not signed up yet? You can do that here.

UK Breaks
You don’t have to travel for miles to have an amazing holiday; the UK offers so many different – and amazing – options for breaks! Whether you’re after a last minute city break, a relaxing country retreat or even a seaside getaway, the choice is endless! We’ve got a great section dedicated to the art of the UK break, where you can search for specific ideas and dates or get inspiration for a new, exciting destination to visit!
