Don't need transfer on package holiday. Likely to get discount?

Hi, I'm booking a holiday to Menorca for my parents online and the price quoted is with coach transfer. However, they know their way around and it's also cheaper overall to get car hire for their entire holiday from the airport on arrival.

Any chance the holiday company, Airtours, would give a discount for not using the transfer?

    No harm in asking, but I doubt it.

    Have a look on their website as sometimes when you do the pricing there is an option to add the transfers on and it shows you how much - usually about £15 each.

    Don't see why you shouldn't get a discount as you're not using the service.

    If you want more of a discount - go to a Co-op, join up for a quid and you usually get 5-10% discount as well.

    As Elise has just said,you can normally remove the transfer charges if you dont need them on the Airtours website.
