Brits are increasingly opting for all-inclusive, package holidays, to enable them to keep costs down, figures show.

The destinations popular for holidaymakers seeking a cost effective package deal include Mexico and Turkey, both of which have climbed up the chart of holiday hot spots.

This has seen Mexico climb up the currency index to sixth place, causing other holiday hot spots such as United Arab Emirates, New Zealand and Thailand to move down.

"The ‘all-inclusive' holiday trend has increased in recent years as holidaymakers, especially families, like to plan their spend ahead of time,” said Terry Perrin, American Express spokesperson.

"Locations like Turkey and Mexico offer the best of both worlds for a lot of Britons.”

Holidaymakers looking to hire a car while abroad are also urged to plan this in advance, as research shows there are some competitive deals currently on the market.

Premiums on car hire insurance policies bought directly from the insurers have fallen by about 20 percent since last year, a money expert claims.

Customers are also urged to consider the benefits of annual car hire insurance, as the rates can save holidaymakers money if they are planning on taking more than one holiday a year.
