6 secrets to help you save money while travelling in summer
Every year, the most popular summer vacation season is accompanied not only by impatience but also by a sense of some fear for your money. Given that the cost of travelling can be a significant drain on your wallet, it's worth considering what restrictions can help you save money.
Experts from Howden Insurance have offered some tips that can help you save money on your summer vacation in 2024. This was reported in Bristol Live.
Book tickets for the middle of the week. This will allow you to save on weekend tickets, which are more expensive due to the significant demand among travellers who want to fly on weekends. Tuesday is considered the cheapest day, but for domestic flights, it is better to choose offers from Monday to Wednesday. At the same time, you can save about 20% of the cost of an international flight ticket on Wednesday and Thursday.
Book additional services in advance. Analyze whether you need a parking space or additional services. Booking these services in advance can save you money.
Determine the best time to book. You can book tickets up to 12 months before your trip. During this time, their cost may vary depending on the season and other factors. The most expensive prices are in June, and the cheapest prices should be expected at the end of August.
Check Tripadvisor before booking. Analyze the market and read user reviews. While expensive hotels may seem like an obvious option, it's worth finding out what visitors really think about them. In addition, keep in mind that some hotels can be misleading by offering all-inclusive deals, so you should read the offers carefully.
Take your food to the airport. It's no secret that airports charge much higher prices for food and drinks than the market price. That is why it is better to take care of your diet in advance.
Take out insurance after booking. Howden Insurance emphasizes that the best time to buy travel insurance is immediately after booking a vacation. It is noted that in this way, the traveller can "cancel it for any reason" if for some reason they cannot go on a trip.
