3 Additional Ways To Save On Your Hotel Stay

Posted on

If you are going to be booking a hotel for your upcoming family trip, then you are likely looking into saving opportunities. Though you may have booked early, used travel discounts for bundling your trip, or used a third party broker, there may be still saving opportunities that you may have overlooked. To ensure you are maximizing your saving potential, you may want to consider the following:

Rent with Internet Included:

Though you're probably going to be out and about during your trip, you are likely going to want to check emails, do work, and even stream your TV shows. Using your cellular data can be very expensive, and having to pay for daily internet use can be even more so. To ensure that you and your family are able to utilize the internet without additional cost or utilizing all of your data, you will want to be sure that you seek a hotel that can provide you with free internet service during your stay. This may not seem like a big deal, but over a few nights this can definitely save you a nice amount of money.  

Contact Your Insurance Provider:

Many auto insurance companies offer great perks to their policyholders, and oftentimes these perks can include discounts on travel expenses. So, instead of booking your hotel directly with the front desk of the hotel of your choice, consider contacting your auto insurance company and see if they can offer you any good deals. Chances are they'll be able to provide you with lower nightly rates, which can quickly add up to a nice savings amount.

Book Further Away From Airports:

Hotels located near airports can have a higher markup rate on their nightly prices, as these hotels draw more attraction due to their location. Rather than book close to the airport, consider commuting 20 minutes outside of the major city to book your stay. This will save you money on each of your nightly stays and even though you're further away from the city, the cost of your commute will more than likely remain cheaper than the price of booking near the airport.

Taking these three factors into account when booking your hotel is a great way to maximize your savings, as it will prevent you from paying daily internet fees and overpriced hotel rates. So, before you and your family complete your vacation planning, definitely be sure to include these tips when looking for hotels in your vacation area.
