What are the £9.50 Sun Holidays?

The £9.50 Sun Holidays have been a staple for hundreds of thousands of UK residents for decades. The Holiday Codes offer families an excellent opportunity to enjoy a holiday across Europe and the UK. 

All you need to do is collect the daily codes in The Sun Newspaper, and you’ll be free to book your holiday. 

There are options for the whole family, whether you’re looking for adventure or a space to relax. But we’ll get into the options shortly. 

The Sun Holidays codes for August and September 2024

Sun Holiday codes are back in August and September 2024.

Check below soon to collect the codes when they are live.

In previous seasons, you needed to collect up to 10 codes. They’ve made it even easier this time.

You only need to collect two codewords: either get Sun Savers codes or collect tokens from the papers from Saturday, 31 August 2024.

Here are the codes needed for August and September 2024 Sun Holidays:

  • Code 1: BIRD
  • Code 2: S7E9

How do the £9.50 Sun Holiday codes work? 

So, how does one book a £9.50 holiday?

  • Collect the two codewords printed in The Sun Newspaper. 
  • Each day has a different codeword, so be sure to keep up. It starts on 31 August, and tokens/codes are printed until 6 September 2024.
  • A codeword is four letters and is located down the side of the numbered token. 
  • The booking form opens on Sunday, 1 2024.
  • You need to book before Sunday, 11 August 2024.

You can submit your codewords in a few ways:

  • Online: Save the Sun Holiday Codes and fill in the application to select your holiday on The Sun website. There is a £3 booking fee if you apply online.
  • By post: Cut out the codeword and send them all in along with the booking form that comes in the paper. You can also find the booking form online at https://www.club950.co.uk/. Send it to: UK Holidays in the Sun, PO Box 1811, Colchester, CO2 8LF.

Once you have all your Sun Holiday Codes, you can start looking at the different accommodations. You can select four different holiday parks and four dates that suit you best. 

Once booking opens, be sure to book your holiday soon because they get booked up super quickly, particularly for the £9.50 and £19.50 breaks as well as those over the school holidays. 

You can book your holiday as soon as you insert all the codes, but we recommend looking at the accommodations to see what will work best for you. Reviews on travel websites can help you out here.

You then pay for your holiday. But be sure before you make payment because you can’t get a refund once you have booked. 

If you want to use the Sun Savers app, there are different eight-digit codes (not the ones listed above). These codes are unique to the papers, so you’d need to buy the paper each day.

How much do The Sun Saver codes holidays cost?

Let’s have a look at the different price points:

  • Comfort — £9.50pp (£38 minimum charge)
  • Comfort Plus — £16.50pp (£66 minimum charge)
  • Comfort Extra Wide — £22.50pp (£90 minimum charge)
  • Premier Plus — £35.50pp (£142 minimum charge) 

Types of accommodation 

Comfort 

The Comfort caravan is 10ft wide and very accommodating. This might be different in some parks and come as an apartment, lodge, chalet, cottage, or bungalow. 

You have the option to add bed linen at an additional charge. 

Comfort plus caravans

These ones are pretty similar to the above; they simply have the added feature of multi-room heating and bed linen. 

Comfort extra wide caravans

These caravans are a bit more modern and spacious. They are 12ft wide and come with two or three bedrooms. 

It is perfect for those with up to eight people and offers a modern interior with high-quality furnishings. 

You can hire bed linen which can be made up for you on arrival. 

Premier plus caravans

These are the best accommodations available with the Sun Holidays and are only available at certain parks. 

You can enjoy a 12ft wide caravan with stunning furnishing, double-glazing, and central heating. 

You can sleep up to eight people in two or three bedrooms. 

Dog-friendly caravans

Some of the parks are pet-friendly, perfect for those who want to take their pups along for their holiday. 

You can bring two dogs along but be sure you look at the terms and conditions. Some breeds are not allowed, and some parks are not dog-friendly. 

Haven Parks

You can no longer book a Haven holiday with the Sun deal, but there are plenty of other choices.

Tips for your Sun Holiday

Holiday insurance

It’s important to remember that the unexpected can happen. So, getting holiday insurance is important to cover you for any situation. 

Thankfully, holiday insurance for your Sun £9.50 Holiday is one £10 cost to cover everyone on your trip in the UK. 

If you’re travelling in Europe, then £29.50 will cover it. 

The Sun recommends getting insurance with at least:

  • £1 million for medical expenses.
  • £2,000 for cancellations.
  • £1,500 for baggage and money cover. 

Basic insurance will cover everything you and your travel companions may need throughout your holiday. 

You could look to get a quote from another provider, just in case you get better cover levels and a cheaper price.

We know it might seem like a waste of money, but trust us, if you ever find yourself in an unfortunate event, you want to know that you are covered. 

A minor issue can become a real headache you shouldn’t have to deal with while on holiday. So, we recommend leaving it to the professionals. 

Entertainment

Certain holiday parks have entertainment programs and can charge a fee for passes. 

It is totally up to you whether you take entertainment passes, but it is worth it to make the most of your holiday. 

You’ll receive an invoice for your entertainment passes directly from the accommodation, which you will pay for once you get your package confirmation. 

During certain times these passes are free, but generally, the fee varies between £3 – £10. However, you should note that these passes don’t include chargeable entertainment and activities like rock climbing and fishing. 

Extra fees

Some accommodations charge damage and cleaning waivers when you book using your Sun Savers Codes that you’ll have to pay for. But this is refundable if all is well at checkout. 

Some holiday parks also offer food and drink for additional costs, but you can pay for that directly at the venue.

FAQ

How to apply for Sun Holidays?

Once you have all the codes, you can fill in the application and send in your codes. The application can be found on the Sun Holidays website. You can also post in your application with the codes, but you’ll need to cut them out. There is also the Sun Savers App app where you can scan the Sun Savers Codes. 

Are Sun Holidays really £9.50pp?

Yes! Believe it or not. This tradition has remained at this very low price to keep families coming together to enjoy unforgettable holidays across the UK and Europe. But there are some more expensive options if you want to upgrade or add any extras. 

Do I have to take four people?

Not necessarily. You can take as many people as you want, but all the prices are based on four people as a minimum. 

Can I pick my own dates? 

All holiday packages are for three or four nights and run from Monday – Friday. But if you want to take a longer break, then you can book multiple Sun Holidays. But your best bet is to call the accommodation directly and see if you can work something out for the in-between days.

    Can you book more than one holiday. For example if I collect 15 tokens can I book 3 different holiday parks on different dates.
    So say have 4 nights in Wales in March, Spain in May and France in September?

    I’m new to sun holidays so not quite clear on the rules.

    Thank you
