There was the gas, the hotel, and the restaurants to pay for. We thought eating in restaurants was a main attraction of travel because you get to try local foods. Even when eating out on the cheap, we were still spending hundreds of dollars on food. Use discounts on rental cars. Use hotel rewards.

How to Save Money When Traveling When it comes to traveling, the three main areas you can save are accommodations, travel, and food. Gas, food, coffee, accommodations, entertainment, and parking add up quickly, not to mention unforeseen expenses like things you may have forgotten from home. Be loyal to your favorite hotel brand.

You don’t have to stick exactly to the plan (a little flexibility makes for a better trip), but if you have your airfare, hotels, and rental cars arranged ahead of time, it makes things a little smoother. For me, this usually means food. Take Time to Try Cultural Things.

Pay a little extra for a hotel closer to a downtown area and public transit? I won’t have to drive so much; maybe I won’t even have to get a rental car. I’ll pay a convenience fee to buy movie tickets and concert tickets online so that I don’t have to stand in a line at a ticket booth. Sure thing!

Free 3 Star Hotel Rooms. Of course I signed up with each airline and hotel for points. Employee pricing on new cars. Rental car discounts. Make friends with people higher up in the food chain – executives often know about (and get) perks the rest of the company doesn’t have.

Ziploc bags You never know when you'll need to separate something from something else, but also when you want to take a bag of cookies with you or keep your wet bathing suit from getting your rental car seats soggy or have an emergency diaper situation. I bring a handful of zipper bags with me anywhere I go.
