It's good when you manage to buy tickets on sale or stay in a hotel for free on a special offer. But you can't predict luck, and you don't want to overpay. We have collected travel-life hacks that help you to save money on travel.

 

Rent a car

Wherever you go, renting a car is very convenient. With a hired car, you can see more sights and save time on the road. You will also be much more comfortable traveling in a rental car. You can hire a car for any budget in any country in the world - whether it's a budget car or a luxury vehicle. When traveling in UAE you can even rent supercar dubai and feel like a celebrity while saving money.

Sign up for airline sales

In order not to track promotions manually and not to browse dozens of sites with cheap tickets every day, subscribe to the weekly newsletter of Skyscanner.

How to understand whether to buy air tickets now or the flight will become cheaper? A reliable way is to set up notifications about flight price changes on the Skyscanner. You will receive an automatic email every time the price of the desired plane ticket increases or decreases. When you know that two days ago the flight cost more, it's easier to choose the best moment to buy.

Book accommodation in advance or on the spot, depending on where you are going

Booking a hotel room before a trip can save a lot of money, but it doesn't always work that way. In Asia, for example, it is often more profitable to book accommodation in advance for the first couple of days, and on the spot — to find a cheaper option that is not available on the Internet. You can postpone the search for a hotel on the day of arrival if you arrive at your destination not at the height of the season and you need accommodation for a couple of nights. In this case, there is a high chance to move into an unsold room with a discount of up to 50% and have a wonderful vacation with your family.

Search for the best hotel prices through Skyscanner Hotels

So that you can always find the cheapest hotel, Skyscanner collects the most profitable accommodation options from Booking.com, Hotels.com, and other large hotel booking systems. Choose from 1,200,000 hotels, hostels, and apartments and compare them by price, location, reviews, and other criteria.

You can additionally save on accommodation if you book flights on a Skyscanner and see the Fly Stay Save icon. They marked the flights that give the right to rent a room at the partners' hotel at a special price.

Try Free Housing through CouchSurfing

If the hotels in the place where you are going are too expensive, and you don't want to stay in hostels, try CouchSurfing. This is a worldwide hospitality network, whose members host guests from all over the world for free for the exchange of cultural experience and simple human communication.

If you are not ready to live with strangers yet, you can still save money. It is cheaper for travelers to rent a camping place with a shared shower or a bed in a decent hostel, for companies - multi-room apartments and houses. It is worth moving away from the beach or the ski lift for a 15-minute walk - and hotel prices decrease.

Rent a house with a kitchen to cook by yourself

If you are traveling with the whole family or just don't like to eat out, rent an apartment with a kitchen or stay in a hostel where there is a common area for cooking. Buying fresh food at the market or in inexpensive supermarkets and cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner yourself is much cheaper than going to tourist restaurants.

We hope that our tips will help you save your family budget on vacation and at the same time you will have a great time.
