Single supplements are a premium charge that you pay when you occupy a room by yourself when traveling. The price of many travel tours is based on double occupancy. If you prefer to room by yourself, you usually pay double the price. There are ways to avoid paying single supplements.
Booking Travel
You may be able to avoid paying single supplements if you ask the right questions when you book your travel. Ask if single supplements are charged year-round. Sometimes you can get a break during the off season.
Ask if there are other options where you wouldnt be charged a single supplement. Sometimes you can avoid a single supplement by being flexible with your plans. Maybe you can stay an extra day or two at one place, or use a different cruise ship.
If you book your travel at the last minute, ask to have the single supplement removed. Sometimes vendors would rather fill a tour than charge the extra fee.
Do your best to negotiate a lower fee if you cant eliminate it. It never hurts to ask.
Book your travel with hotels that dont charge a single supplement. Most UK hotels charge the same room rate whether one or two people stay...
