Common questions
Is BudgetBro Day Trips cheaper than Extreme Day Trips?
Against their cheaper plan, not quite. Bro is £39.99 a year or £4.99 a month. Extreme Day Trips is £37.00 a year for Premium and £49.00 for Premium Plus, with no monthly option (read on extremedaytrips.com/premium, 25 October 2026). Founding is £19.00 a year for as long as you stay, about half of either of theirs. You also get 14 days to get your money back, against their 7.
What does BudgetBro Day Trips do that they do not?
We price the whole day, per person, before you book. That is the flight checked on the date shown, getting to and from the airport, local transport, lunch, dinner and a coffee or a pint. On top of that you get what's on that day, football, shows and festivals, priced for the whole day, Christmas market cities with their open days checked, days where you fly home to a different UK airport when it saves money, and the daylight and sunset for your day. You can search 6 months ahead from any UK airport, free.
Where is Extreme Day Trips still ahead?
Push notifications on Premium Plus. Overnight trips everywhere, where ours are Lapland only. Years of itineraries written up by hand, and a bigger following, with 4.7 from 43 reviews on Trustpilot against our 4.6 from 18 (checked 25 October 2026).
Do both do Christmas markets?
Yes. Their Christmas Markets Mode, in both paid plans, matches trips to over 150 markets. We have 52 market cities, each with its open days checked and a warning on any day we could not confirm, priced as a whole day and free to read.
Does Extreme Day Trips have a free tier?
Yes. Free users search the next two weeks and get a weekly deals email. With us, every costed day is free to read, and a free account gets 5 searches or trip opens a week, up to 6 months ahead, from any UK airport.
Is everything in this comparison available now?
Yes, every tick in our column is live today. The one row marked Coming soon is our app for paying members, which is not part of what you buy yet. Their paying members use a home-screen shortcut to the website rather than an app. What each plan includes is on our pricing page.
