Tips for Saving Money on Transportation

By Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada

Airline Fares

Include a Saturday night stay-over, and you purchase your ticket in advance. You can reduce the price of a round-trip airfare by as much as two-thirds. To make certain you have a bargain fare, even if you use a travel agent, call all the airlines that fly where you want to go and ask what the lowest fare to your destination is. Keep an eye out for fare wars and be prepared to act quickly.

Car Rentals

Car rental rates can differ greatly; shop around for the best basic rates and special offers. Check with your insurance agent and credit card company in advance to see what kind of coverage you have. This way you'll avoid paying for coverage you already have.
