SO YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL: PART II

by Arthur A. Hawkins II

 Here’s more on how to create and use your own personal travel plan to save time and money. Wherever you choose to go this year, it will likely cost more to get there this year. Why not level the playing field?

- Timing is everything. Leaving and returning at the right time could save you 25% or more. Compare the cost of travel at different times and dates then adjust your travel accordingly.

- Junk your clunker. Vehicles on their last legs can cost you a fortune to maintain. However, a good car should last 5 years at the very least.

- Leave the driving. Air, sea and rail travel may by viable alternatives. No frills airlines like Southwest Airlines have made flying cost effective for domestic travel.
