We get it! Schoolies can be pricey so this week's blog offers our top five tips for booking Schoolies on a budget!
1. Layby
Stressless and book your trip on layby! Schoolies layby plans are super simple, just lock in your trip with a deposit, and then pay the remainder of the booking amount off in small monthly instalments leading up to your trip. Lock in your layby payment plan from as early as 18 months prior to your Schoolies, PLUS the sooner you lock it in, the smaller your monthly repayment amount will be, massive life hack!
The best part is that there is zero fees, zero set up costs and zero interest, so you are only ever paying for your trip. Find out more about layby here.
