Here are my quick tips, on how to save on trips:
- Find a couple to travel with, it will cut your trip in half!
- Drive, it you can
- It takes more time, but is seriously money saving
- Pack snacks, so you do not spend unnecessary money
- Rent a place with a kitchen, so you can grocery shop and cook, instead of going out for every meal
- Use sites like Airbnb to book sleeping accommodations
- Use sites like Expedia, to gain over 50% off on hotels, cars and flights
- Expedia is the cheapest site I have found, even cheaper than Kayak
- Ask locals! They know the best places that are off the map, and usually not as expensive as tourist areas
- Travel to places where you have family and friends, you can usually stay with them for free!
- Open up free rewards accounts. Once we were in LA and wanted to check in early. It was going to cost us $200. However, we opened up a free rewards card with the hotel and they waved the fee. Always ask to join rewards programs, you really will get free rewards
