Rate this Entry


After working for all year, every one of us deserves a relaxing vacation without worrying about money. However, when we're on a vacation spending money can get out of our control as vacations have a way of making our money disappear and it's not just about the large sums spent on airfare or accommodation costs. Smaller expenses like breakfast, daily cafe visits, and shopping can be a budget-buster. It becomes hard to balance between treating yourself and saving money while you are travelling. Vacations are meant to be enjoyed without burning out your bank account.

Most of us have this question “How to save money on vacation?” because it seems like a goal to save money while on vacation. However, with the right plan, we can bring down the cost. Today I'm going to share some tips to save money while travelling. These tips will help you to enjoy the vacation that you've been dreaming of.

Here are seven ways that you can follow to save money while you are on your favorite vacation.

1. Save Money for Your Vacation in Advance.

Instead of relying on credit saving money in advance will save you money by earning interest instead of paying interest. Plan ahead and calculate how much money your vacation will cost then divide that cost with the time you have in your hand ( in months or weeks).After dividing set aside that money in a high-yield account. It doesn't mean you can't use your credit card, though. A practical way to save money is to set a sum of money aside, and then use your credit card. When you back from your vacation, use the saved-up money to pay off your credit card balance. This way you will have earned interest and cash back.

2. Check online to Find the Best Deals.

Check out online sites for deals on attractions, hotels and cruises. If you use package for your vacation services, you can aggregate the best deals and even find better offers on attractions and entertainment. For that, all you have to do is to spend some time on your browser to find the best websites to book your vacation package. One more thing before committing to any discounts, do your comparisons then make your reservations in a way that cost you the least.

3. Go Through the Reviews, Tips and Photos.

The best way to find out a convenient vacation deal is to check out the reviews, tips and photos on the websites. For example, you can use Trip Advisor to compare hotels as it has many reviews for each hotel so that you can find out the best for your spending budget. Of course, you can pay a little extra money for a better experience, but you want to make sure that your hotel is really a good deal for your extra money. It's important to get what you pay for.

4. Do Your Packing Efficiently.

There are many airlines that charging for extra bags, so, don't bring more clothes than you actually need and roll your clothes thus they fit into a few bags. This can be an easy way to save unnecessary spending of money. Airlines' have weight limits and they will charge for extra weight, so don't overstuff a large bag as well. Efficient packing also helps you to save money on gas when you go on a road trip vacation.

5. Use Public Transportation for Your Travel

Instead of spending money to rent a private vehicle, use public transportation during your stay. This can help you to cut off the cost of vehicle rental fees, parking fees and gasoline. Through public transportation, you can get most of the travel destinations with minimal cost.

6. Buy Your Own Snacks and Groceries.

Eating your every meal in restaurants quickly burn out your money. If your hotel room has a mini-refrigerator just take advantage of it. Buy some essential groceries and snacks that you can store in the refrigerator and try to eat at least one meal in your hotel room using those groceries and snacks. Additionally, most of the tourist destinations have amazingly high prices on snacks and drinks, so bringing your own snacks and drinks help you to save lots of money.

7. Plan Your Vacation in the Off-Season.

Travelling in the off-peak times help you to save your money on hotels and airfare. Also, there will be smaller crowds at most of the places you visit so you can have a great time and it can be just as fun. Even it's much better on your budget as well.
