Las Vegas Nevada (PRWEB) October 29, 2013 -- Travel site DestinationCoupons.com is offering these money-saving tips for budget travelers who are hitting the road this winter. Planning ahead for the holidays can help travelers avoid last-minute headaches while snagging special discounts.
Book Hotels in Advance
Don’t procrastinate when it comes to reserving your hotel for holiday travel. By booking early, travelers can ensure that their desired hotel still has availability during the busy season. Plus, some hotels are offering special incentives for those who plan ahead.
Travelers who book their hotel stays a minimum of 30 days in advance can enjoy savings of up to 30% at InterContinental Hotels like Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Staybridge Suites Inn, and Hotel Indigo. Families traveling with children should consider Holiday Inn, where kids eat and stay for free. With 4,000 locations, InterContinental Hotels offer travelers a wide variety of destinations worldwide. Similar advance purchase savings can be found at Best Western, Marriott, and Hilton Hotels which include the DoubleTree and Hampton Inn brands.
Those wanting to escape the cold winter weather can book a sunny holiday to Cancun, Orlando, Scottsdale, or Palm Springs. Starwood Vacation resort properties feature luxurious one- and two-bedroom villa accommodations and a plethora of amenities that can only be found at the finest resorts such as on-site spas, world-class golf courses, pristine beaches, multiple pools, on-site restaurants, and great locations. Ideal for families, these resorts are offering up to 25% off in an exclusive offer through DestinationCoupons.com.
All-inclusive resorts are becoming more popular with budget travelers. Paying a per-person daily rate may appear to be more expensive at first glance, but in reality these rates often help travelers save money. In addition to unlimited top-shelf drinks and three meals per day, many resorts now offer guests a wider variety of on-site dining options and free use of all activities, including golf, waterskiing, sailing, and scuba diving. Opportunities to save up to 65% in the Bahamas and the Caribbean are available for several popular resorts including Atlantis, Sandals, Beaches, RIU, Bluebay, and Barcelo.
Save on Rental Cars and Airport Shuttles
It can be easy to overlook transportation costs when booking a holiday trip. While most travelers focus on finding hotel and flight deals, there is also money to be saved on ground transportation. Travelers can grab significant savings by booking their rental cars through DestinationCoupons.com where they will find discounts at major rental car companies like Sixt, Alamo, National, Enterprise, Dollar, Thrifty, Avis, and Budget. Those wanting to add some extra excitement to their holiday travels can save on EagleRider Harley Davidson motorcycle rentals and JUCY campervan rentals.
To avoid expensive airport parking charges and winter storm conditions, many savvy travelers are leaving their cars in the garage at home and using affordable shuttle transportation to and from the airport. The nation’s largest shuttle service, SuperShuttle, offers dependable service between homes, offices, hotels, and airports in major US cities, Paris, London and Mexico at a cost that is less than one day of airport parking. For families and groups of four or more, private sedan, van, and SUV service is available for an even greater savings.
