How to Make Your Own Travel Discount

November 14th, 2009 | Author: admin

Hotel and rental car operators don’t just offer you discounts at random, you have to ask for it, and sometimes, these discounts aren’t even worth it, unless you’re planning to travel during off peak season where there is a big discount. The fact is we travel when we actually have time to travel and most time it’s during peak season.

So aside from waiting for discounts during off peak season, why not take the initiative and find your own ways to cheap travel, make your own discount.

Travel to places which have lower costs of living but offering of natural beauty. Take the Philippines or Malaysia for example, both has great views of natural beauty and tourism destinations, another plus is there are many people able to speak English in these countries.
Choose for detour flights other than the straight one when you inquire. You can get lower overall prices if you choose to book two flights instead of one. Some people have been able to save as much as ,000 by doing this.
Always ask the hotel operator for long week stay discount, if you are planning to stay more than a week, the discount can range for percentages off your room price or even a “free day” discount.
Package deals usually save a lot, transportation and accommodations combined into one are usually lower price compared to paying for them separately. Some travel agencies even offer trio packages which include transportation, accommodation and car rental which you can save a lot more.
It is always better to cook the food by yourself rather than buying it everyday at a restaurant. You will save a lot of your pocket money on food. Cooking by yourself is the best way to ensure your own health and pocket money.
Find out some online web-only discounts or coupons which some hotels and airline provide especially for those willing to reserve online. You can save as much as 50% discount by doing this way.
