Keep an eye out for welcome centers near state lines. They're an excellent source of coupons for nearby motels and tourist attractions.
-Check the Internet for deals before you leave. A lot of hotels are offering discounts.
-Bring a cooler. Food is one of the biggest expenses on any road trip. The more you get from the grocery store, the better.
-Haggle. No room rate is fixed - especially when the hotel parking lot is empty. If a place seems largely vacanct, feel free to inquire about a special discount. Motel owners are much more interested in having full occupancy than getting their standard rate.
-If you're visiting national parks and federal recreational lands, consider an annual pass. At $80 for the general public and $10 for seniors, it may be a cheaper way to get around.
-Look around for hidden discounts. Soccer clubs, church groups, professional organizations and other groups have prearranged travel discounts at various hotels and tourist spots. See if you qualify.
留意州界線附近的迎客中心,那里是領(lǐng)取附近汽車旅館和旅游景點(diǎn)優(yōu)惠券的好地方。
出發(fā)前上網(wǎng)查一下優(yōu)惠打折情況。許多旅館都會(huì)有折扣價(jià)。
帶上便攜冷藏箱。旅途中食物是最大的開銷之一。盡量從食品店多買些食物帶上。
殺價(jià)。房?jī)r(jià)都不是固定價(jià),旅館的停車場(chǎng)空無(wú)車輛時(shí)更是如此。如果一個(gè)旅館看上去入住率很低,問(wèn)一問(wèn)有無(wú)特價(jià)打折活動(dòng)。對(duì)汽車旅館的老板而言,入住率遠(yuǎn)比標(biāo)準(zhǔn)房?jī)r(jià)重要。
如果去國(guó)家公園和聯(lián)邦休閑娛樂(lè)區(qū),可考慮買年票。在這些地方年票可能是很劃算的,普通只需人80美元,老年人僅需10美元。
尋找未公開的折扣。足球俱樂(lè)部、教會(huì)組織、專業(yè)組織機(jī)構(gòu)和其他一些社團(tuán)在各種旅館和旅游景點(diǎn)會(huì)有事先約定的折扣價(jià)?纯茨闶欠穹舷硎苷劭蹆r(jià)的條件。
