12 Mistakes That Could Ruin Your Dream Trip

How to Save Money When Traveling. If you love traveling and can’t imagine your life without but pricey tickets and hotels don’t let you do it as much as you want, we have good new for you. We have put together a list of 12 mistakes many travelers make that cost them their hard-earned cash. If you avoid them and follow our simple tips you will be able to afford as much traveling as you dream of.

Don’t forget the 6-block rule 1:19
The 6-block rule goes like this: food is generally double the price and half as good within 6 blocks of a major tourist spot. Having a cup of coffee in front of the Eiffel Tower is nice, but you can simply walk a few blocks away and get something more authentic at a cheaper price. And don’t forget that local outdoor markets are always a better option.

Booking in advance isn’t always the best idea 2:22
Early booking has its advantages: if you have a strict schedule that you have to stick to, this is your only choice. But if you’re not bound by any time limits, you might want to consider a more spontaneous approach. Flight companies don’t like having unsold seats, so that’s why they’re willing to give huge discounts for them. If you’re lucky enough (or if you check the websites every day), you can save a huge amount of money this way.

Don’t exchange cash 2:54
Your bank card will carry the best currency exchange rates, so avoid bringing a lot of cash. Just make sure you carry enough cash with you just in case. Before you travel, don’t forget to get a debit card that reimburses ATM fees, and only withdraw cash if and when you need it.

Be sure to change all transportation options 7:12
Transportation can steal the money right out of your pocket! Renting a car is pretty expensive. If you’re going on a road trip, you should think about using public transport or Uber. Hotels sometimes suggest free or cheap transfers to the airport, so maybe you should ask the clerk at reception.
