Founded in 1919, the Skills Group is proud to be a family-run business in the heart of Nottinghamshire, providing a range of award-winning coach holidays and specialised private hire with over 105 years of experience.

Skills continues to be a family-run operation holding the same 'fair, open and honest' values instilled by Arthur Skill in 1919. Nottingham has seen four generations of the Skill family, something which we still pride ourselves on today.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Although not a requirement to travel with Skills Holidays, travel insurance is a recommended part of planning any trip, whether in the UK or throughout the World, offering peace of mind and financial protection if things don't go as planned. It can cover medical emergencies, last minute cancellations or curtailment, lost baggage and knowing you're covered can help you relax and enjoy your holiday.

At Skills, ensuring that your holidays are appropriately protected is one of our main priorities. That's why we have partnered with Holiday Extras, so you can get a travel insurance quote to protect you before and whilst you are travelling. Holiday Extras Cover Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and has been independently rated 5-stars by Defaqto.
