What’s better than enjoying a little R&R? Knowing you’re doing so while not breaking the bank! As you make your summer travel plans, keep the following seven tips in mind to score serious savings:
1. Book Last-Minute
If you’re willing to be spontaneous, you can scoop up to 70 percent off on last-minute travel on sites like Orbitz.com and LastMinute.com. It takes a bit of flexibility, but if you can be open to when and where you travel, you’ll be able to get away on a dime.
2. Take Advantage of Discounted Travel Sites
Daily deals sites like Groupon and LivingSocial don’t just allow you to experience your hometown at a huge discount. They also provide daily discounts on escapes both local and exotic, including getaway packages at more than 50 percent savings and fun perks like spa treatments or adventure excursions that take some of the planning off your hands. The catch is you have to be willing to swoop on a deal when you see one that interests you as the getaways are offered for a limited time and often sell out quickly.
