Book For Free Today

By Joann Dixon


If you are trying to plan your family fun time, then you want to spend some time researching online. If you know where you want to go, you may be able to find a package plan that gives you a good price for the entire trip. These plans often give a reduction in price for a family group and may mean the difference between having good accommodations and doing everything you want to do or having to scrimp and cut corners. More times than not, purchasing your accommodations, airfare, and car rental as package deals are worth the time and are usually 30 per cent cheaper than paying on an individual basis.

Utilize the airport shuttle rather than hiring a driver or taxi. You will save a lot of money this way. Renting a car at the airport is much more expensive than a shuttle. Another way to save money is to pick a hotel that provides a shuttle at no charge.

A very costly aspect to any vacation that is geared toward families is that of entrance fees. You might want to see if a location that makes you pay to get in provides cheaper tickets if you go on a particular day or if you buy the tickets on the Internet.

You can often get circulars when you arrive at your hotel that provide information on things to do and see. These may contain coupons or tell you how to get discounts on restaurants, local attractions, and even souvenirs. Do not go through all the trouble to save money and then turn around and blow a fortune on souvenirs. Decide ahead of time how much you will spend. The best time to purchase souvenirs is as your vacation comes to a close so you know where you can get what you want at the best price.

Often condos or homes are more inexpensive to rent than a hotel room. This is especially true if you are staying for a long time. The longer you stay, the more likely this is the case. You might get a condo for half the price of a hotel. Another alternative to save money is house swapping, in which case you wouldn't have to pay anything for your accommodations.

One of the worst ways to blow money is to buy your essentials when you get there. If you buy such things as sunscreen and shampoo at the hotel, you will probably pay many times the value of the product. Take your time in planning your trip by making a list of what you will need and checking it twice.
