We are in the thick of summer, which means many of us are ready to cash in on our vacation days and go on a much-needed trip!
Traveling in the summer is always a lot of fun, as there’s something in the air telling us it’s time to spread our wings and enjoy a new destination or spend time in our favorite places.
However, it’s no secret that traveling, especially during the summer, which is peak travel season, can get very expensive. Not all of us are in the position to go on a trip with an unlimited budget, so here are some travel hacks and tips that’ll help you save money this summer.
Consider booking things last minute
While it’s usually a good idea to book things like flights and hotels far in advance, if prices are too intense, you can keep your eye on them and see if things get better just before you’d like to leave.
For instance, I’ve had a good amount of luck booking flights only a week or two before the departure date versus months in advance.
Look for local coupons
After you’ve booked your flights and hotels, you’ll likely spend a lot of money at local restaurants or businesses. Before your trip, look up coupons for establishments in the area you’ll be visiting.
For instance, if there’s a spa or restaurant you want to try, see if they have online Groupons you can redeem during your stay.
