There are people who say that traveling is something that anyone can do, and of course, should do. There are others pointing at their empty wallet, stating “no money, no honey”. Well, we are here to show you that not only can you travel in the most affordable way, but in luxurious destinations no less!

So, keep reading and learn about the 10 tips to save cash while you are traveling without breaking the bank. And remember, it’s not about the place per se, but how you can use what any destination offers in a beneficial and cost-effective way for you.

So, without further ado, let’s save some cash by traveling!

Tip Number 1

Plan ahead. This is the cornerstone of saving cash and you’ll realize it is as fun as thinking about places to travel. So, in this case, you should book your flights and accommodations in advance like the early bird you are.

You can always take advantage of these early discounts and deals. For example, let’s say you are traveling to Barcelona so you’ve booked your flight for Josep Tarradella Barcelona-El Prat Airport. Next step is to book a private airport transfer for the city center such as those offered by atobtransfer.com. When you book an airport taxi with AtoB, you only pay a single, fixed rate. On the contrary, a local taxi would have charged you more because you are at the airport (higher fee) and you would carry luggage (more weight) plus the actual fee for the trip!

Tip Number 2

Travel off-peak. So simple, yet nearly no one does it. There are so many destinations you can travel to, even if it’s not the high season. For example, if you are fond of small islands and “sunny” beaches and water sports and so on, be sure that summer, especially in the Mediterranean shores, lasts until the end of September.

So, if you want to do the same that other people do in August, but with less money, travel in September. Airplane tickets, hotel rooms, and entertainment choices are literally half the price!

Tip Number 3

Set a budget. Really? Set a budget? Of course! You wouldn’t believe how much money you could save by just stating “I am going to spend that much here and that much there”. There are many ways of setting a budget all of which are effective as long as you stick to them.

First of all, when you book an airport transfer with AtoB airport taxi service, you can book a vehicle based on the budget you set to be transferred from the airport to your hotel. You decided to spend that much for this part of the journey. Then you can say that for the rest of the day you will spend that much for food and this much for beers. And so on!

Tip Number 4

Use package deals. We cannot stretch this enough. Always keep an eye open for special package deals. If you can find a package that combines your flight to your destination, with accommodation, and activities, you’re a winner buddy! And that brings us to the next one.

Tip Number 5

Traveling in groups. Along with package deals, there are also group deals. It’s time to gather your best friends or your family (or both) and travel together. In this case, you can benefit double even in luxurious destinations.

First, there is the group-offer deal, like booking for a villa with a X% discount AND you can split the discounted price among you! This applies to anything. Accommodation, entertainment, even transportation, as you can split the fare of any of AtoB’s private airport transfers.

Tip Number 6

Travel light. No, you will not need your whole library traveling with you so you can read only a few pages while relaxing at the beach or in your room. Neither the 3 different kinds of chargers in case one breaks down. Pack lightly, pack efficiently. Not only will you save money from baggage fees, but you will not have to carry around a heavy luggage too.

Tip Number 7

Dining smart. There are many local restaurants that serve delicious food at affordable prices. You are in a foreign place, yes, but do yourself a favor and do your research. You will avoid many tourist traps!

Tip Number 8

Use travel apps. This goes along with the previous tip as usually this is how you’ll do your research. You should always utilize travel apps and websites, as there is a plethora of those, to find the best deals, and prices.

Tip Number 9

Local Markets and Street Food. You can make the most out of the local culture and cuisine by just visiting street vendors and street food. You will end up shopping and eating at a fraction of the cost in upscale shops and restaurants.

Tip Number 10

Free activities. Last but not least. In most cases, the place you have visited offers free entertainment options. For example, on Sundays the entrance to that museum is free. So, don’t go there today, and go tomorrow for free.

Or there is that free or low-cost small amusement park at the city’s center. Let’s go and see what’s about. Or don’t pay for that overpriced beach chair / sunbed instead buy a beach chair from a local kiosk at a fraction of the cost.

Well? How much money do you think you could save having these tips in mind? We assume much, as we don’t only talk the talk, but we also walk the walk. Next time you travel to a place, think of our suggestions and see for yourself. You are welcome!
