Tips for Lowering Your Travel Costs
Buy a round trip ticket
     One-way ticket always costs more than a roundtrip ticket because they are treated as business tickets and inherited the premium business price point says Rick Seaney chief executive of Farecompare.com. What other travellers do is to buy a round trip ticket but only use half of it. This way, you won't give the revenue Airlines would get from a more expensive one-way ticket.

Find a good seat in economy class
     There are seats on the economy class that could be compared to that of a first class. These are emergency-exit row seats, they're sometimes better than some first class seats. With these seats you have a wide space to stretch your legs and have a quiet flight because kids are not allowed to sit in this area. There are also premium economy seats, which are comfortable beacause they are 22 inches wide and costs less than an elite seats.

Rent the smallest car
  
   Don't rent a full-sized vehicle unless you really need one. Rent a small car that costs less and when you rent at the "right" time, you can get free upgrades.

Use your cellphone
     When you're in a hotel room, don't use the phone instead use your own cellphone. This will lower your bill and save you money. Another tip is to choose hotels with free internet access and use your cellphone to surf the Internet.

Grab the package deal
     Taking advantage of package deals can save you a bundle of cash. Buying a package deal always costs less than separate purchases. In travelling, buy an air-hotel-car package to save money instead of buying them separately.

Go for Lunch
     Usually restaurants charge higher prices on the same food for dinner compared on lunch. Eat lunch at your favorite restaurant and eat dinner at your friend's house, this will surely save you a lot.

These tips can help you decrease your travel costs. Share these tips with your friends and enjoy a less-expensive but exciting vacation.
