Savvy business travelers have picked up a money-saving trick or two out of necessity. For most of us, gone are the days of cushy expense accounts and virtually unlimited travel budgets. But just because you’re saving money on business travel, that doesn’t mean you’ll need to sacrifice anything in the way of comfort or necessity. Check out these tips for making the most of your travel dollars.
Rent a car. What sounds expensive can actually often save you money. Consider renting a car instead of using the airport shuttle. Many times the cost of the shuttle is more than that of a modest car rental – and you have the flexibility of having available transportation. Also, if you are driving to your destination, renting a car instead of using your own vehicle is often cheaper than the extra wear and tear on your own car. Take advantage of coupons to upgrade to a larger, and more comfortable, vehicle.
Do a last-minute check. More than likely, you prefer to book your hotel rooms and rental cars with plenty of notice to be sure you get what you want, but don’t forget to check prices again a few days before your trip. In many cases, rental car prices go down (and most agencies have no cancellation fees or penalties) as the dates approach, and hotels sometimes offer last-minute specials that you may be able to re-negotiate or change within the parameters of the hotel’s specific cancellation policy.
Alternative to Hotel Rentals. Hotels tend to include an astronomical markup on necessity items such as rental projectors, and you can save a bundle by renting your projector through Projector123.com.
