Brits’ disdain for pre-holiday admin is costing them hundreds of pounds, according to new research.
With over 1 in 5 (21%) of holidaymakers admitting they overlook important pre-holiday admin such as checking exchange rates, reading the fine print on insurance policies or not checking if their mobile plan includes free roaming, Virgin Media O2 is warning Brits to set aside pre-holiday admin time to avoid getting caught out.
In fact, a third (33%) of British holidaymakers have already been stung whilst abroad, having to fork out on average £193 more than they needed to in order to cover unexpected or hidden costs. Top costs people haven’t accounted for include currency conversion fees (35%), data roaming charges (31%) and unexpected city taxes (27%).
