GotoBus Releases Budget-Friendly Holiday Travel Guide

Holiday travel made easy without breaking the bank!

Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) November 17, 2008 -- GotoBus, the leading online marketplace for bus tickets and tours, is pleased to release their budget-friendly holiday travel guide. While travel is to be enjoyed throughout the year, the holidays are a special time to relax with family and friends. However, the holidays also bring added stress due to sold out schedules, crowded airports and long ticket lines. In light of the recent economic downturn, GotoBus has created this guide to help relieve holiday travel woes for the busy, value-conscious consumer who loves to get a great deal (http://www.gotobus.com/deals/).

Holiday Travel Tips: Read our travel tips to fully enjoy the holiday season.

Avoid the airport for short trips. Besides paying premium prices for the ticket, booking a holiday flight oftentimes means being subjected to long lines and heightened security measures, not to mention the excess baggage fees and fuel surcharges added to the cost of the ticket.

Don't drive if possible. Avoid the hassles of flat tires, tolls, parking tickets and holiday road rage. Consider utilizing bus transportation for holiday travel. Let someone else drive and enjoy the savings. GotoBus currently offers inter-city shuttle bus service departing from over 60 locations with prices as low as $10. Traveling on the cheap leaves more cash left over for Eggnog! Don't forget to book early to guarantee a seat.

Holiday Travel Guide: Packaged tours provide excellent value.

Start by logging on to GotoBus (http://www.gotobus.com/) to search from thousands of tours. With a click of the mouse the e-tickets will be delivered via email. Best of all, a tour is an experience to enjoy with loved ones, and will be remembered for years to come.

When purchasing a tour remember to stick to the budget. Once the tour results are displayed, sort by price to find the most affordable option. Longer tours usually offer a better value per day but single day tours can be a great for someone who is short on time or cash.
