Holiday home exchange from Intervac

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - March 29th, 2011 - MARCH 2011: It’s no secret that going away during school holidays is expensive, but a home exchange with Intervac .co.uk is the perfect solution to getting away from it all, at the right time for the right price. 

Intervac.co.uk is the British arm of Intervac-homeexchange.com, the 1st ever home exchange agency. This premium home exchange website offers members a fantastic variety of worldwide accommodation; from quaint country cottages and chic city apartments to fabulous villas with pools and mountain lodges with open fires, all at a fraction of the cost of more traditional options.

Not only do people save on accommodation costs but there’s no need for endless cash to cover restaurant meals, parking, laundry, tea and coffee or internet connection. Many members exchange cars and saving on car hire, some take care of each other’s pets and gardens saving further costs. Many members actually become friends through their shared experiences and mutual belief in trust and respect, values at the heart of the site.

A few minutes on Intervac reveals inspiring destinations and beautiful homes as well as a wide range of search options allowing members to create a tailored made holiday that’s perfect for them. For families there’s a search for homes that are child-friendly, offering extras such as car seats, high chairs, stair gates, pools, gardens and even toys so they can have a relaxed break in a safe home.

Brian Hayes, Organiser of Intervac GB, said, “Over 30% of our members are teachers and we’re now seeing a rise in families joining because it’s so expensive to go away during school holidays. Home exchange means you can have a break that doesn’t cost the earth but is great fun and right for you. Our members are professional, honest and trustworthy people who enjoy travelling but are aware of their budgets and like home comforts. Many people come back to us time and time again because they get more value for money than they do with a ‘traditional’ holiday. It is great that there’s none of the formality of hotels and many exchange partners stay in touch afterwards – both as friends and repeat exchangers”.

Sally Johnson, a GB member, said: “Your company has brought our family many wonderful holidays and the opportunity to establish lifelong friendships. We sing your praises to all our friends. Thank you”.
