I’m asking you this because it’s already May and if you haven’t planned your summer trip yet, you definitely need to get on that. The longer you wait, the more expensive things will be. Right now, I’m still seeing airfare deals and you probably will still be able to get an okay deal on a hotel (and still get a room before they all fill up).
If you’re still hoping to go somewhere when the kids get out of school, and not spend every dollar you have, then I’ve got some great tips for you:
Book ASAP
Make sure you’re getting on booking things you need as soon as you can, because you don’t want to end up spending twice as much as you have to. Look to book your airfare Tuesday, Wednesday, or even Sunday. These are when the sales are out, but definitely sign up for emails for your preferred home airport to destination airport. This way, you’ll be the first to know when there are deals. It’s generally cheaper to fly on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday, so I always try to fit my trip in between some combo of those days.
Go Sooner Or Later
Mid-June through mid-August is peak summer travel times. If you can go at the beginning of June or the end of August, you might be able to get a deal and beat some of the worst crowds. And if you can go before before Memorial Day, not only will you save a lot more, you’ll also need to book everything, like, yesterday.
Need a rental car? Then skip the traditional rental companies if you can. They are still charging vast amounts of money for their shrunken fleets. I have almost exclusively used Turo for the last 5-6 years, but you can also rent through Uber now, too. These are basically Airbnb, but for cars. I’ve saved half off traditional rental rates this way. If you’re looking for a less expensive, but more convenient rental experience from a more traditional company, check out Kyte, where they will bring the car to you.
Get Online Discounts
If you’re looking to do a bunch of stuff on your trip, then see if you can get a discount by booking ahead online before you go. You can easily find promo codes for things as you’re booking them, especially if you’re using Chrome extensions like Honey or Rakuten, which will try all available codes at checkout. Not only that, but you’ll get cashback on your purchases where these are available and save twice.
Go somewhere different
Your kids are always going to want to go to theme parks or the beach during the summer, but by changing up your destination, you can actually save a little or a lot of money. If they insist on going to the beach, look for lakeside resorts near where you live. Most still have a beach and everything that goes along with it, unless surfing is on the agenda. Other ideas are to visit cold-weather destinations or South America. The Southern Hemisphere experiences winter during our summer, making it a less desirable place to vacation. Less desirable equals more affordable. South America is close, but there are so many different places to choose from that are amazing, tropical and super budget-friendly.
Some great budget-friendly destinations for the summer broken down by month:
June: Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Las Vegas, Mexico, New York City, Portugal, San Diego, Toronto, Vietnam, Washington (State)
July: Argentina, Cambodia, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Georgia (State), Montreal, Myrtle Beach, New Orleans, Thailand
August: Bali, Bulgaria, Cuba, Curaçao, Ecuador, Gatlinburg, Portugal, Las Vegas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Turkey (Turkiye)
