That means if the price of your break goes down after you have booked, you can get a refund for the difference.
To be eligible, customers must have booked a break with Haven by early 2025 and have proof of this.
If you can prove that you have found a cheaper holiday, Haven will pay you back the difference.
A savvy customer said on social media they have saved over £200 by using the price promise.
One Haven Holiday goer shared that they were refunded £289, adding it "only took a few days to receive."
While another said: "We got £75 during a half term. I check it daily."
A third person described the service as a "great thing" with the customer claiming £104 back.
And a fourth said:" I really didn't think this would work. I've just got £150 back."
When you book a holiday with Haven, an email confirmation should tell you if you are eligible for the scheme or not.
Once you have seen your holiday at a cheaper price, head to the Haven website and click the chat bot and request price promise.

The automated process is available 24/7 and will ask some security questions before resolving your Price Promise request.
Haven cannot retroactively match prices you have seen previously, so if you notice your holiday has dropped in price, act quickly.
Plenty of other holiday groups offer similar schemes, such as Butlins.
The budget holiday provider said customers who find the same break offered for sale at a lower price any time before they arrive on resort will be eligible for a refund of the price difference.
They could also get a reduction in cost to meet the new price.
But the break must be for the same resort, dates, duration, accommodation, number of guests and any extras.
You can find out more by visting, www.butlins.com/help-contact/price-guarantee.
COULD YOU GET A REFUND?
If you booked a holiday with Haven at the star of the year, it may be worth looking online to see if the same holiday you booked is now cheaper.
You can also do the same with Butlin's, but be sure to reach out quickly to ensure you don't lose out on the extra cash.
Sarah Cole, personal finance expert at Hargreaves Lansdown told The Sun customers should take advantage of the offer.
"If it's cheaper at any stage after you book, you can get in touch and ask for a refund for the difference."
She said: "It means it's worth putting regular dates in your diary to check – especially at the last minute when there might be some decent discounts on offer.
"In both cases, make sure you check the terms and conditions to make sure it applies in your circumstances. If you have changed any details of the booking, for example, you may have voided the guarantee."

Investment tycoon who bought tiny Scots island revealed
It has only had two permanent residents for decades ISLE HAVE THAT! Investment tycoon who bought tiny Scots island revealed A MEGA-rich investment tycoon has bought a tiny Scottish island. The Isle of Rona is nestled among the islands in the Hebrides. Advertisement 2 The Isle of Rona is nestled in the Hebrides Credit: Alamy It boasts stunning views and plenty of wildlife but only two residents. Rona was bought by Danish couple Dorte and Arne Jensen in 1992. They paid just under £250k for the 2,400-acre Hebridian isle. The couple have been regular visitors alongside the long term residents. Advertisement Bill Cowie and Lorraine Shill are the only residents permanently staying on Rona. But they were also the custodians for the island while living there. The couple moved to Rona in the early 2000s and have been taking care of it for almost two decades. But they are set to move away from their home of more than 20 years as part of their retirement. Advertisement The Isle of Rona has now been purchased by an investment tycoon and his wife. It has been bought by a firm called Fior Rona Ltd. I'm squatting in my own flat after landlord evicted me for renovation a building site but I won't leave The company was started by a hedge fund manager named Danny Luhde-Thompson and his wife Cressida Pollock. The amount of cash paid was not disclosed but the sale was made "at market price" during the private deal. Advertisement A spokesperson for Fior Rona Ltd, Adam Crookshank, revealed some of their plans for the island. He told The Daily Record: "The island of Rona has been purchased by Fior Rona Ltd who will look to carry on the excellent work of the previous owners and custodians and will try to ensure that the natural heritage, including the island itself and the marine environment that surrounds it, continues to thrive under their custodianship. "This will include carrying out baseline surveys to understand the current state of biodiversity and allow for the development of a considered plan to further protect and restore the natural habitats, and to measure progress over time." Rona currently only has two holiday lets, as well as a house where Bill and Lorraine stayed. Advertisement It boasts a much quieter life than it's neighbouring Isle of Skye - which is a popular holiday destination for people all over the world. It only has some old Ministry of Defence buildings, ruins, and a larder and butchery for venison. Rona also doesn't have any shops or even ROADS. 2 The tiny island has been bought by a hedge fund tycoon Credit: Alamy

UK weather: Met Office issues yellow thunderstorm warning with over two inches of rain set to fall in just two hours
Forecasters also warned of potential travel disruption across road and rail networks STORMING IN UK weather: Met Office issues yellow thunderstorm warning with over two inches of rain set to fall in just two hours Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STORM clouds are gathering over the UK as the Met Office issues a yellow thunderstorm warning – with more than two inches of rain set to fall in just two hours. The warning, covering London and the South East as well as the South West and East of England, runs from 10am until 9pm on Thursday and could hit millions of Brits. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for Thursday Credit: Alamy 5 The warning runs from 10am until 9pm and could hit millions of Brits Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 More than two inches of rain set to fall in just two hours Forecasters have warned of torrential downpours, flash floods and 'difficult driving conditions' with the potential for travel disruption across road and rail networks. In a statement, the Met Office said: 'Thunderstorms and heavy showers are expected to develop during Thursday morning and through the afternoon. 'These could produce torrential downpours in a few places with as much as 25-35mm of rain falling within an hour and perhaps 60mm within 2 hours. 'Frequent lightning and hail will be additional hazards. 'Storms will tend to become more confined to the south and east of the warning area later in the afternoon before dying out during the evening.' Meteorologists say some areas could be hit with a week's rainfall in an hour. Forecaster Clare Nasir said: 'The rain slides down towards Wales, West Country, central southern England into Thursday morning. 'And we'll see some damp weather also across the north and the west of Scotland. 'Some sharp showers with the risk of thunder likely through the afternoon across central and southern parts of England and Wales. We could see some impactful weather here.' The Met Office has assessed the potential impact of the storms as 'medium', though the Environment Agency currently has no flood warnings in place. Dramatic moment world knew Hawaii tsunami was coming after 8.8 mag earthquake shook Ring of Fire sparking evacuations But the London Fire Brigade urged residents to prepare in case of sudden flash floods. A spokesperson said: 'The warmer weather we have been having will dry out and crack soil. This makes it harder to absorb and soak up a sudden and heavy downpour. 'Couple this with torrential rain and we could see streets and homes flooded. 'Our firefighters know what they need to do in a flood, but it's important Londoners know as well and follow our flooding advice.' Tips include preparing a 'grab bag' with essentials in case you need to leave home, using sandbags to protect properties, and checking on neighbours. Drivers are also urged not to attempt to drive through flooded roads. The warning comes after Britain endured a wildly changeable summer – swinging from record-breaking heatwaves in June and early July to washouts in recent weeks. A hosepipe ban imposed earlier this month remains in force, affecting 8.5million customers across South East Water, Southern Water, Thames Water and Yorkshire Water. While the downpours may bring relief to parched gardens, meteorologists warn that wet and windy weather looks set to dominate heading into August, with 'unseasonably deep' low pressure systems moving in. The Met Office added that conditions should turn 'broadly changeable' by mid-August, with the chance of some drier and more settled spells later in the month. 5 Forecasters have warned of torrential downpours

‘New level of disrespect' cry NC500 locals as ‘feral' campers pitch tents on poignant memorial
The site has a very special meaning CAMPSITE FURY 'New level of disrespect' cry NC500 locals as 'feral' campers pitch tents on poignant memorial Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FURIOUS residents on the North Coast 500 have blasted campers who pitched their tents on a memorial site. A group of tourists visited the Marie Curie Field of Hope in North Sutherland, one of the most northernly spots on the 516-mile tourist route. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Locals on the North Coast 500 were furious Credit: Getty 4 Thousands of people visit the tourist route every year Credit: Alamy 4 It is one of the world's most popular attractions Credit: Alamy The site is next to a viewpoint between Melvich and Strathy in the northern Highlands. It is a small field with 2,000 flowers in a overlooks Strathy Point and Dunnet Head and the Orkney islands. The field honours the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care and remembers people who have tragically lost their lives to the disease. The site has also been used for people to scatter their loved ones ashes. But a group of campers completely ignored the special nature of the site by using it to set up their tents. An image of the field was posted on a local Facebook page. It showed three tents pitched on top of the memorial flowers and a folding chair. Locals were quick to express their anger at the campers. One person said: "Lovely place to camp for the night in the Marie Curie Field of Hope outside Melvich. "Ignorant people and then they wonder why locals don't welcome them. Locals fury at NC500 pranksters "People have scattered loved ones ashes in there… just disgusting." Another added: "That's a whole new level of disrespect." A third local claimed they challenged the group, saying: "I'd have told them to move on - find somewhere else - huge disrespect." A fourth commented: "That's ridiculous, do they have any idea of the grief they will cause people who have had their parents looked after by the Marie Curie trust? There's no need to use the spot." A fifth resident branded their campsite "feral behaviour" while another said it was "appalling". Another person said: "That's well over the line of decency, what on earth goes through their heads? "Blatant disrespect and entitlement."
