No Deposit Holidays 2026/2027
Our Guide To £0 Deposit Holidays In 2026/2027
A no deposit holiday lets you confirm an eligible booking without paying anything upfront. That can be useful if you want to secure your dates and hotel now, then spread the cost over a number of payments before you travel.
£0 upfront does not mean there is no financial commitment. Once you confirm a booking, you are still agreeing to the provider's payment and cancellation terms. If you later cancel, you may still have to pay the normal deposit or other cancellation charges even if no money was taken when you booked.
At the time we last checked, TUI and First Choice both offered £0 deposit options on selected package holidays booked far enough in advance and paid by Direct Debit. Other companies, including Hays Travel, sometimes run no-deposit promotions. Jet2holidays offers flexible monthly payments, but its standard package-holiday option is a low deposit rather than £0 upfront.
Payment information last checked: 21 September 2026. Deposit offers and eligibility can change, so always check the payment schedule and cancellation terms shown by the holiday company before you confirm your booking.

Who Offers No Deposit Holidays?
TUI
TUI currently offers £0 deposits on selected new package-holiday bookings when you book at least 26 weeks before departure and pay by Direct Debit. A minimum of three Direct Debit payments is required. Accommodation-only, flight-only and packages using certain third-party flights are excluded, so the £0 option will not appear on every holiday.
TUI's current £0-deposit terms say the final payment is due 98 days before departure. The exact schedule is shown before you confirm the booking. If you cancel, the normal full deposit can still become payable.
First Choice
First Choice is part of TUI Group and also offers £0 deposits on selected holidays paid by Direct Debit. Like TUI, eligibility depends on how far ahead you book and the type of package, and a minimum number of payments applies.
Hays Travel
Hays Travel runs no-deposit events on selected holidays at certain times of year. These are promotional rather than a guarantee across every holiday, so check the live offer and payment terms before booking.
Does Jet2holidays Offer £0 Deposits?
Not as its standard package-holiday payment option. Jet2holidays currently offers a low deposit from £60 per person on eligible package holidays booked more than ten weeks before travel, with the remaining balance payable later. You can also spread the cost with its Pay Monthly option.

No Deposit vs Low Deposit Holidays
A true no-deposit holiday means nothing is collected when you confirm the eligible booking. A low-deposit holiday takes a smaller amount upfront, with more to pay later. Both can help spread the cost, but the cancellation rules still matter.
Low deposits are available from a wider range of companies. Jet2holidays, Thomas Cook, easyJet holidays and other providers all offer ways to secure selected trips with a smaller upfront payment. If £0 upfront is not essential, compare our low deposit holiday guide as well.
When Is A £0 Deposit Useful?
A zero-deposit option can be useful when you want to book early for a specific hotel, room type or school-holiday date but would rather spread the cost over the months before you travel. It can also make budgeting easier for a family or group when one large upfront payment would be inconvenient.
It is not automatically a cheaper holiday. Compare the total package price, what is included, the payment deadlines and the cancellation terms. If another provider has a lower overall price with a small deposit, that may still be the better-value option.
