How to score some free holiday cash!
/So, you've decided to go on a much-needed break. You've planned it all (hopefully through your exclusive travel club) and picked the ideal destination after extensively researching it. But amongst all the excitement, you might have that nagging doubt of how much your finances will be impacted.
From deciding on your how you will travel to your destination or where to stay, there are a myriad of expenses that will eat into your savings every step of the way. So, how do you ensure you save as much as possible?
Here are some practical steps that will help you ensure those purse strings are well managed:
Look at doing a holiday budget.
A set budget is a great way to get the most out of your holiday, and will help you stay focused on making cost-effective decisions and set priorities so that you know where you can make compromises.
A well-designed budget will include all the expenses you can possibly think of.
Start with your highest costs, including flights and accommodation, and include food, shopping, entertainment etc.
Find an app
Search for a countdown app. These are designed to help track your expenses before, during and after going on a holiday. Easy to use, a countdown app has daily budget features, which will help you organise and monitor your expenses.
Whether it’s food, entertainment, sightseeing or shopping, budgeting for these expenses will help you stick within the specific daily allowance.
Choose when to travel wisely
Usually your airfare will account for a big chunk of your budget. Often there are early bird rates and discounts for booking in advance. Also, by flying mid-week or low season, you will save heaps. Airlines and resorts only bring out special offers and deals when they need to fill spaces, which may not be the case when you are thinking of going. School holidays or public holidays are considered high season.
Don’t ignore travel insurance
Regardless of where you are travelling, don't even consider travelling without insurance.
Murphy’s law says that when you least expect it, something will go wrong.
So if you’re not covered, it will not only put you in a world of inconvenience but will also be hella expensive.
