8 Ways to Save Money on Your Summer Vacation

By DIY Maven

How can we relax on our summer vacations knowing the debt we might be accumulating while doing so? According to LifeHackery, with a little planning, we can have it all; a much needed getaway with less economic stress.

1. Saving money on amusement park vacations includes going on weekdays, buying tickets on-line and going later in the day.
    
2. Save money on air travel by searching for last-minute fares.

3. Consider traveling by rail or bus.

4. Skip the hotel and give camping a try. (Visit Uncooped for some outdoor inspiration!)

5. Plan ahead and pack snacks and emergency provisions to avoid expensive vendors at your vacation spot.

6. If you drive to your destination, research ways to save money on your gas bill.

7. Ask for discounts!

8. Pay with credit cards (preferably paying them off at the end of the month!) or traveler’s checks, as ATM visits can rack up hefty ATM fees.

For the entire money-saving list and its corresponding links, visit LifeHackery.
