The limited-time offer will end this week for interested motorists

One of the UK's most popular car brands has launched a new deal for customers that could see the company pay for their next holiday.

Skoda has announced a new limited-time deal between May 8 and May 17, which could see drivers earn a free holiday.


Drivers who order a Skoda Kodiaq can choose a three-night weekend or four-night weekday stay with Forest Holidays.

The partnership has been created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Skoda Kodiaq, which has become one of the brand's most popular vehicles in its lineup.

Any new customers who buy the Kodiaq will be offered a stay in a Silver Birch Lodge at any of the 10 locations, worth up to £1,100.

Restrictions for the offer will apply, notably during school holidays, October half term, Easter next year, May Bank Holiday 2027 and Christmas this year and next year.

Motorists could also benefit from a £750 discount if they take a Kodiaq for a test drive and put a deposit down between May and June 30.

Research from the brand found that 55 per cent of drivers plan on taking a trip around the UK this year, with Wales being chosen as the most memorable location for motorists (31 per cent).

Skoda has consistently been one of the best-selling car brands in the UK, with more than 30,000 new registrations this year alone, capturing four per cent of the market.

The Czech manufacturer has seen sales increase by almost 10 per cent year-on-year and has more sales in 2026 than the likes of Honda, Land Rover, Mini, Nissan and Tesla.

Skoda has a wide range of models already on the market across different powertrains, including the electric versions of the Elroq, Enyaq Coupé, Enyaq, and upcoming Epiq and Peaq.
