Budget Friendly Holiday Travels

April 8th, 2012 Tushar Mathur

With the holidays coming up, many people are planning trips to visit friends and family. If you find yourself among the masses that will be traveling this season, you can get great deals with just a bit of planning and research. By researching deals now, you can be sure to get the discounts that will make your vacation more than affordable.

Air Travel

While many people know that the holidays bring with them higher prices for air travel, many don’t realize just how high prices can climb. Between Halloween and Christmas, ticket prices for domestic travel can climb, on average, $5 every week.  If you know where you’ll be heading this holiday season, purchasing your plane ticket(s) now will get you the best rate possible. Fly in and out of smaller, local airports rather than larger, international airports and you’ll often net an even better price on your tickets.

Travel Websites

Sites like Travelocity, Pricegrabber and Hipmunk can help you secure the best ticket prices available at any current time. Google Flight Search is the newest travel site that allows you to search for deals among several carriers from one site. Finding the best deal on tickets is incredibly easy using sites such as these.

Car Rental

Renting a car is a popular way to get around your destination once you arrive, but it can be expensive. Book your rental through a site like Budget or Enterprise rather than at the airport’s rental counter. You’ll get a better deal and may even find that the car rental company is willing to pick you up from the airport. Skip the company’s insurance coverage and add rental car insurance to your own policy; another great way to save money. If needed go for a  car insurance renewal to add rental car insurance to your own policy. Return the car with a full tank of gas to avoid fuel surcharges at the end of your trip.

Accommodations

While booking a hotel room is still the most popular means of finding a place to stay during your trip, consider renting an apartment or house-sitting instead. Renting an apartment is often a very cheap way to spend a vacation! Not only will renting an apartment save you money on accommodations, but it can save you money on eating as well. Having your own kitchen will save you from having to eat three meals a day on the go. Check out Wimdu and Roomarama if you are traveling overseas and search for the city you are traveling to, followed by ‘apartments’ if you are staying in the US.
