5 Ways To Save While Traveling With Family For The Holidays

While the holidays are a great time to go visit family and friends, it’s also one of the most expensive times; since everyone will be thinking the same thing and packing up to leave, hotels and restaurants know they can charge top dollar. Here are 10 ways to save while traveling with your family this holiday season:

Eat Well, For Cheap – Skip the fancy sit-down dinners, and start eating out, locally, for cheap. Not only will you be saving money, but you also get the full experience of the cities you are traveling to or through. Also, try to find food trucks whenever possible.

Pick Hotels That Serve Meals – Best way to get bang for your buck, is choose lodging that provides a meal.

Always Pick Rooms With Refrigerators – One of the best ways to save is to bring your own foods, however, bringing perishables like lunch meats won’t do any good without a fridge, so be sure to ask that your room has one.

Book A Condo – Booking a condo rather than a hotel can be considerably less expensive, and there will be a kitchen to cook in so you can avoid the high cost of eating at restaurants.

Compare Your Travel Options – Before you commit to flying, be sure to do the math and see if driving would be more cost effective. Or compare prices of other airlines, and consider whether it may be cheaper to book two separate flights.
