Paying Too Much for Gas? Save More Than Ever on Hotel Rooms

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2008

As gas prices rise, more summer travelers are feeling the pinch in their pocketbooks. One way for these summer road warriors to ease the pain is to use hotel coupons.

As gas prices continue to rise, the high costs of travel seem to outweigh the rewards. Did you know that even though fewer rooms are being booked at hotels due to high gas prices, many hotels are still making similar revenues to previous years by raising the room rates?

One of the best kept secrets in the travel industry: hotel coupons for last minute "walk-in" specials can save travelers up to 75% off standard hotel rates. Hotels accept rock-bottom coupon rates to fill rooms that otherwise would have gone unoccupied.

Several free publications offer coupons at thousands of hotels. RoomSaver is available nationwide at state welcome centers, rest areas, gas stations and restaurants. Consumer Reports listed it as one of the "Ten best ways to get a great deal on a hotel room." Travel Coupon Guide, U.S. Travel Guide and Florida Travel Saver are all regional travel guides. Two Web sites allow travelers to go online to clip coupons or book hotel rooms before leaving home: http://www.RoomSaver.com and http://www.HotelCoupons.com.

Travelers should beware--not all travel Web sites are the same. Many popular travel Web sites seen on television with celebrity spokespersons often keep 25% or more of the amount a traveler pays for the hotel booking, so vacationers may not be getting the best deal the hotel has to offer.
