YOU and a friend might intend to drive out of town for a holiday on a weekend. So that savings are not drained after a vacation, it’s worth considering a number of tips to save money on travel.
1. Prepare vehicle
Before departure, make sure vehicles are in prime condition. Well-maintained engines consume fuel more efficiently. Notice also the condition of oil. If oil is too thick, the vehicle engine will work harder and it means requiring more fuel.
Also, check your tires and make sure the conditions are not flat. A flat tire makes extravagant use of fuel, so you had to spend more money.
2. Estimated fuel
Estimate how much fuel is needed along the way, until you and your friends back home. Thus you can estimate how the budget must be spent each person to finance the trip.
3. Bring lunch
Bring supplies such as beverages and snacks, sandwiches, or fruit to block the stomach during the trip. If necessary, also take the form of severe food-dishes of rice and side dishes. You can hold a small picnic in the middle of the journey, while resting to stretch leg muscles.
4. Save receipts
Somewhat troublesome to divide equally any bill with your friends when you’re on the go. If each person does not want to bother issuing a calculator each time to pay anything, appoint one person as the treasurer in charge of paying and record each bill. Once the trip is over, you can divide the expenses equally
these. Or prepare the funds ‘joint venture’ which was agreed before departing later handed over to the treasurer who was appointed earlier so no one feels the most money out and cause problems later.
5. Messages in advance
If you already know where nowhere to go, should make hotel reservations well in advance. Usually, the price set will be cheaper than if you ordered it on the same day with check-in time. Thus, you are more likely to get a hotel fully equipped with a cheaper price. In addition, this action is also useful to ensure you get a place to stay, especially if it is holiday season
