Travel Tips - 10 Tips to Save Money on Your Next Holiday

Nov. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- 1.   Where to Book Your Trip.

The first thing you need to do is to book your holiday and the best place to do it is online.  You can get much better deals online and there are plenty of price-comparison websites to make full use of.  It is also the best place to book your airport parking.

2.   The Early Bird…

When you book your flight you can also save more money by doing it early or at the last minute.  There are some great deals on offer if you do it this way and the time of your flight can make a big difference to the price as well.

3.   Be Awkward With Your Flight Time.

Most people choose to travel at prime times.  If you fly in the early hours of the morning then it will be a lot cheaper...

4.   Credit Where Credits Due…

Avoid using your credit card. Instead of paying interest, save up your money in advance.  Put it somewhere safe where it isn’t going to get used for anything else and keep adding to it.  You will be surprised how quickly it mounts up.

5.   Saving With Calls.

Leave your mobile phone at home.  It is common knowledge that telephone companies will charge you a lot of money to make or receive calls when you are abroad.  Eliminate this expense by using landlines whilst you are away.

6.   The Power of Numbers.

If you travel in a group you will automatically qualify for many discounts while you are away.  Get your family and friends together and book that trip!

7.   Less is Better.

When you get travel insurance make sure you shop around!  Many travel agents will charge a colossal price when other places do it far cheaper.  If you are planning more than one trip in the next twelve months then it can often be much cheaper to get an annual policy.

8.   Be Your Own Guide.

Don’t wait until you arrive before buying a guidebook.  They can be very expensive and your local library may well be able to get one for you.  If necessary, you can also extend the borrowing time on it.

9.   Size Matters.

When you book a hire car, ask them for a small one.  Most of their cars are larger and you will automatically get a free upgrade if they only have bigger vehicles when you arrive.

10.   A Warm Welcome.

When you get off your plane you want the task of finding your car to be as simple as possible.  Use ‘Meet and Greet’ services for your parking.  They will bring your car to you and there are some good discount offers when you book online.
