Ways To Save Money While Traveling
from: TRLMost senior citizens need to be frugal travelers because they live on a smaller income than when they were working. There are many ways to save money when traveling, and money conscious seniors will think up all kinds of ways to save money while they are traveling. Here are a few tips for senior travel planning to help you save money:
If your hotel doesn't include breakfast and you'll have to buy it yourself, you could stop at a store the night before and get some fruit, yogurt, bread or pastries. This will surely be less expensive than paying for the meal. It's a fun part of travel to go to a grocery store just to see what's available. A lot of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts have coffee or tea pots in them, so with a few groceries, you'll be all set for a frugal breakfast.
Another idea is to eat your big meal at lunch when prices are cheaper. Prices are much higher for dinner meals, especially if you have alcoholic beverages with the meal. Buy beer, wine or alcohol at local stores and have your cocktails in your hotel room, on the balcony, at a beach, or in a park. If you want to have beer or wine with your dinner, ask for local brews or wines. They'll be cheaper than imported and big name items.
Look into metro passes. Many cities have one, three, and seven day passes that could be real money savers if you plan to use the buses, subways, and trams a lot. Always do the math though to make sure you will use them enough to make this worthwhile. Do your research ahead of your travels. Some international rail and travel cards must be purchased before you arrive in a country.
Take a local bus line. Some can substitute for an expensive sightseeing tour. Many cities have buses that pass by all the big sites. Ask about them at the tourist office.
If you're traveling cross country, consider taking an overnight train or flight. It could be cheaper than a daytime flight or train, and you will save money by not needing a room for the night. Sure the "red-eye" flight might be a little uncomfortable, but think of how much that hotel room would cost. If it's an overnight train you're taking, you can buy a sleeper berth for a lot cheaper than a hotel room.
Stop at a local visitors center. They can tell you about local money savers. They can tell you if there are free days at museums and give you information on city passes. The visitor's center might have coupons for discounts. They'll at least have brochures and free maps. Check with these visitors centers online before your trip to see if there are things you should purchase before you leave.
A museum pass can save you money and time. You won't have to waste valuable vacation time standing in line, and sometimes, time is money. If a museum pass won't be a good value for you, you can call or e-mail most popular museums for a reservation. You'll get an appointment for an entry time and walk right past those lines.
Planning for those money savers along with all the rest of your travel plans might just let you keep on traveling even in tight economic times.
