Tourists have been warned not to do five specific things on holiday to avoid fines costing hundreds.
Millions of Brits will be jetting off this summer and most won’t want to be landed with additional charges during their travels.
UK holiday provider holidaylodges.co.uk has revealed the hidden costs that can crop up on holidays.
From bringing extra guests without permission to losing the holiday home key, there’s plenty that can go wrong and lead to surprise fees.
One thing that could see an unsuspecting tourist slapped with a fine is taking home the towels or robes.
Hotels and holiday homes often provide bath and hand towels, as well as dressing gowns for added comfort.
Unbeknownst to some, they aren’t for keeps.
According to holidaylodges.co.uk, guests have been hit with charges of up to £150 for taking them home.
