5 Tips for Creating a Travel Budget

When you're getting ready to take a big trip, you've definitely got a lot on your plate. There are a ton of different things that can go into a big vacation, especially when you've got a lot of people that you're going to be bringing with you. Traveling by yourself is definitely a blast. Seeing a brand new part of the world and experiencing something completely different in the way of culture can be a very eye-opening experience. When you've got an entirely family, though, leaving them behind isn't always an option. Taking everybody on a vacation can get to be super expensive. If you're a smart traveler, though, you will always make sure that you travel with a budget. Most of us have to basically surrender our incomes when we take a trip, so you should make sure you're not spending too much money. It's no fun to be in the red when you get back from vacation. When you want to make sure you're not going to spend too much money on vacation, you w...

The Best Travel Discounts for College Students

Your college years are some of your best years to take advantage of your youth, freedom, and a relative abundance of time. While to some students it might not seem like college is really home to anything close to an "abundance" of time, it won't take long to realize that life post-education is a lot less unbound. That being said, college can still be a tough time to travel, as most college students aren't rolling around in extra income. For this reason, it's important that the traveling student remain constantly wily and always on the lookout for the best deal of offer. We'll talk about a few of the ways that college students can cut corners on traveling costs, so that you can get out there and see the world before you find yourself locked into a full-time job (which won't be a bad thing, but isn't great for travel). The first step to traveling on the student discount system is the student discounts on airfare. They're offered by many major airl...

Affordable Ways to Get Around in New York City

Fans of this series may be charmed by watching their high-heeled gal pals whistle up a taxi in quintessential NYC style, but when you stop to consider how much these fictional denizens probably spend on transportation you might wonder just how they can afford all those Loubotins and Manolo Blahniks (forget "hello, lover", how about "hello, bankruptcy"?). For the native New Yorker or visiting tourist, the need to get from here to there in an affordable manner is essential, and luckily the city provides for many forms of transportation that will cost less than sitting in a cab for hours on end. So here are just a few options for those who want to hit up the nightlife in Tribeca or the Meatpacking District (but can't actually afford to live there). The first option is to drive a car, but while this might be more affordable than taking taxis it's not exactly the most efficient choice. Owning a car is a rather expensive proposition to begin with, and in New...

Things to Consider When You Rent a Car Abroad

Renting a personal vehicle is one of the best decisions a traveler can make. By taking your transportation into your own hands you open up a whole new world of possibilities. On longer trips, a rental car means a degree of freedom you simply can't get with public transportation. Many popular travel destinations don't even have advanced transportation infrastructure. Without a car you have to depend on expensive taxis to get from point A to points B, C, D, and E. It can really take a chunk out of your budget. If you've already made the decision to pick up a rental car at the airport, make sure you take the following concerns into consideration. 1) Driving laws Driving laws vary greatly from country to country. If you're driving in an urban environment, you need to give local ordinances special consideration. Make it your business to learn the local rules of the road beforehand. In Canada, for example, road signs indicate which turns are permissible at an intersecti...

Should You Rent a Car or Take Public Transportation When You Travel?

This is a rather tough question because there are so many variables to consider before you can make an informed decision. You'll want to figure out which is more cost effective, the amount of time that could be gained or lost by choosing a particular form of transportation, whether or not there could be hassles associated with each, and of course, the relative availability of these types of transport. And each of these concerns will vary by the region you are visiting (amongst other things). So here are just a few issues to tackle before you hop a plane and head for your destination. The first thing to consider is the cost that comes with different forms of transportation. In most cases, renting a car will be the more expensive option, not only because of the sticker price, but also due to the added costs of fuel,

How to Budget and Save for a Luxurious Vacation

Budgeting is something that most adults should be doing all the time, and while many of us fail to write out and adhere to strict budgets, we still have a basic mental budget to ensure that we don't spend so much on groceries and entertainment that there isn't enough left over to pay the bills each month. But if you're not familiar with the many benefits that come with planning a precise budget, then you may not realize that you can use it to help you save money for major expenses down the road, such as a down payment on a home or car, or even a luxurious vacation. So if you're tired of waiting for the recession to end so that you can start planning the 4-star trip of a lifetime to the sun-drenched beaches of Maui, the twinkling avenues of Paris, or the ancient and awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza, then here are a few budgeting tips that will help you to start saving now for your dream vacation. The place to begin is with a household budget, if you don't already h...

Tips for Enjoying a Great Vacation While Spending Less

The reality is that if you’re willing to put a little more time into planning, you can save a lot of money while on vacation. It doesn’t have to break the bank and it’ll be just as fun. Here are a few tips for enjoying a fantastic vacation – Without spending heaps of money. Visit Countries With Many Neighbors If you want to go country hopping, do it without flying.

Vacation Rentals Vs. Hotels: Which Is Right for Your Next Trip?

Travel is often fraught with hassles, from the time-consuming task of price-checking and coordinating airline tickets, lodging, and transportation, to the difficulties of figuring out what to pack and how to manage your affairs (pet-sitting, mail collection, etc.) while you're away. Since vacations can also be fairly pricey you may have to contend with trying to stick to a budget. And while you can certainly find plenty of ways to cut costs on airline tickets (fly economy class, pack light to avoid baggage fees, plan early, bundle travel arrangements, go in the off-season, and so on), you might be looking for a few good ways to lower the price of lodgings without resigning yourself to seven nights spent at a youth hostel (or your destination's equivalent of a seedy motel). Luckily, there are ways to save on even posh hotels and you can also look into vacation rentals (read: private homes). But which is the better option for you? Hotel There are a couple of pros and con...

Top 5 Ways to Save Money on a Luxury Vacation

The word luxury means many things to many people. It could entail Cristal and caviar, a large estate in the Hamptons, and private limos and jets for transportation. Maybe it means a walk-in closet and a fancy home theater setup, drawers full of diamond jewelry, or rows of classic automobiles parked in a custom garage. But no matter what your personal connotations of luxury include, we can all pretty much agree that the term entails comfort, cost, and exclusivity. So for the majority of adults looking to plan a vacation, luxury may seem like nothing more than a pipe dream. However, you don't have to resign yourself to traveling by Greyhound and booking a room at a Motel 6 in order to save some money on your trip. There are ways to get the extravagance you crave without blowing your budget out of the water. Here are just a few tips that will have you lounging in the lap of luxury for less. 1. Go all-inclusive. Cruises offer some of the best options out there when it comes to luxu...

Getting the Best Travel Discounts and Savings in Town

My family has always been a thrifty one. We do everything as much as we can to save money – wait until there are mall-wide sales before buying stuff, canvassing different stores until we get the one with the lowest prices, and all that stuff. Even though we’re not really very poor, we still want to save money. Who doesn’t, right? So, my family and I have been very happy ever since I discovered sites which offered coupons that will allow you to enjoy big savings. There are really lots of products and services offered at great deals, such as beauty products, gadgets, restaurant deals, and even travel deals (which is my family’s favorite). I’m the one tasked to look for travel discounts and savings. Well, that wasn't too hard. I mainly go to Hotwire (through Frugal Dad, that is) whenever I have to look for travel discounts and savings. Trust me, from someone like me who’ve gone to a lot of sites offering this kind of service, Hotwire is the best. Hotwire is a

Honeymoon Destinations That Won’t Break the Bank

Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things a young couple can go through: thankfully you get to have a lovely holiday at the end of it. The honeymoon can sometimes be as extravagant as the big day itself, but with your purse strings already being tightened,  wouldn't  it make more sense to look for a holiday that’s a little less expensive? I’m not suggesting compromising on quality: but some of the best holiday destinations can be found closer to home, avoiding expensive long haul flights and bizarre exchange rates. Search for all inclusive deals to get an even better bargain. Sardinia West of Italy and South of Corsica, the island of Sardinia has been a favourite destination of celebrities for years. The Costa Smeralda on the North of the island is famed worldwide for long stretches of white sandy beaches, luxury resorts and Michelin star restaurants: perfect for those who want the Caribbean island experience without the massive cost. ...
