Set and stick to your budget
Before you set off on your journey, try to predict how much you’re going to spend on expenses. You’re going to spend the most money on transportation, entertainment, an emergency fund, amongst other things. When you keep a budget, you will be able to keep track of your expenses and prevent overspending. In addition, you will feel confident knowing that you have correctly predicted how much money you needed to spend on each part of your trip. If things still get too expensive, road tripping with friends can help you save money on gas, food, and hotels. You can split the purchases with your crew and pay them back by using various apps.
Bring snacks with you
Stopping at restaurants, getting water bottles at gas stations, and buying all those cups of coffee can add up, so we recommend doing so bulk shopping before your trip. Also, be sure to stock up on tons of snacks that will keep you satisfied and keep in case there is some bad weather. Include things like trail mix, jerky, bars, crackers, nut butter, and apples. We also recommend taking a few stainless steel water bottles to help you save money on bottled water while also keeping cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. You can also cook and make your own food rather than dining in restaurants. Get creative with it with some no-ice ideas, such as tortilla pizzas and tacos.
Explore accomodations
Hotels aren’t the best option for getting that much-needed rest and relaxation after a long drive. Try searching online for some promo codes that will save you some money if you really want to stay in the hotel. If you would rather stay away from hotel rooms, try booking a room on Airbnb or go on Couchsurfing, as that is a great way to connect travelers and hosts and allow people to stay for free. You can also sleep in a store parking lot as a last resort. If you choose that option, the goal is to park for the night and get some rest.
Use your fuel points if you have them
The road trip is the perfect time to use any fuel points you may have accumulated through numerous programs. Even better, you can accommodate even more fuel points before you head out on your trip by shopping for on-road necessities through the online portal, as gift cards for certain websites will earn you double fuel points. You can also make your gas last longer on your road trip, as certain apps can help you plan your trip, calculate fuel costs, and find gas stations. In addition to buying the least expensive fuel available, you can make your gas last by making sure your tire pressure is good, removing more weight from your car, or using cruise control.
Pay in advance for city parking
When you park in major metropolitan areas, the costs can add up fast. You might find yourself paying hourly meters or getting your card charged at pricy downtown garages that are located near your hotel or restaurant. But, most of the time, you can score discounts when you pay for city parking online. Another added benefit to paying for city parking in advance is that you won’t have to stress yourself out by finding a parking space.
