Our weeks are typically so jam packed that the weekend sneaks up on us. Or maybe you’re counting down the days obsessively waiting for Friday. But for such a short break from the normal work week, we should make the most of our weekends.<\/p>\n
Instead of doing the same thing you do every weekend, why not take a trip? A weekend getaway<\/a> on the cheap is definitely possible! So for all you weekend warriors, here are some tips and tricks to save money on your next getaway.<\/p>\n This may seem like a no brainer for a quick weekend trip but driving saves you time and money. While going to the airport and booking a last-minute cheap flight may be romanticized, taking a car gives you more flexibility on where you can go. If you don’t own a vehicle, check out car rental services. These Zipcar coupons, deals and offers<\/a> can help you save money on last-minute bookings.<\/p>\n Plan a “staycation” and enjoy your city or hometown. You can play tourist and check out attractions you want to see but never do. Or check out a nearby city you haven’t been to before. Take advantage of local deals\u00a0 by using these Groupon offers<\/a> to see what’s going on near you.<\/p>\n Call hotels and bed-and-breakfasts to see if there are any last-minute cancellations. Typically these rooms will go for cheaper as hotels want to keep rooms booked. Bonus tip: if possible, book your reservation for Saturday through Monday or book a room on a Saturday. Hotwire often posts “secret” deals, and if you find a lower price for the same hotel within 24 hours they’ll will refund the difference. You can also use\u00a0these Hotwire deals and offers<\/a> to save even more money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While a solo trip can be fun, traveling with friends can help split up costs and is a great way to reconnect! You can share hotel rooms and break up the cost of gas, and even snag some group discounts on meals, entrance fees, admission tickets and more.<\/p>\n Speaking of entrance fees and admission tickets- you can lower the overall amount of money you’d spend on individual tickets by getting bundle admission tickets. The deals are typically for quirky or lesser-known attractions but provide more local flavor.
