How to Save Money on Your March Break
March Break is a great chance to get away from the sub zero winter we’ve been having for what now feels like forever. March Break signals the beginning of spring and the end of winter which is the perfect opportunity to book a dreamy getaway. However, planning your March Break in advance is imperative if you don’t want to throw out your hard earned money without a second thought. So here are some tips on how you can save money during your March Break week events and still enjoy an unforgettable time:
1. Look for Last Minute Vacations – Although it may sound counterintuitive, booking in the last minute has its advantages. Many hotels have no stay restrictions right before March Break starts simply because they see how their rooms may remain empty. So they drop the prices in the last minute. You can save hundreds of dollars by waiting, but of course there is also the risk of your chosen resort being sold out. This option is best for people who are flexible when it comes to vacation destinations.
2. Stay Away From Popular Getaway Spots – The world has many wonderful places to see and it is incredible just how much you can save by staying away from those popular gateway hubs that jack up their prices every time there is a holiday. This March Break, choose a less-traveled getaway spot like a small town bed and breakfast, a downtown hotel or even a “staycation” at home.
3. Be Smart About Your Departure Date – With most people hustling to buy getaways to popular locations, airlines boost their ticket prices right before March Break begins. Keep more money in your pocket by leaving on Monday right when the week has already started. This is a really smart move and can save you a lot of money in transportation.
4. Bad Credit Loans – With so many people stigmatized by poor credit ratings, bad credit loans may be a solution if you are struggling to enjoy at least one free week this year. Secluded beach resorts or buzzing urban escapes are all waiting for you just around the corner. A bad credit loan can be a relatively good option compared to using your credit cards to fund your short getaway.
Saving money on your March Break getaway can be easy if you make smart decisions and get a little creative. The best strategy is to be flexible when it comes to the timing and destination of your vacation, and you’re sure to have a great end-of-winter getaway!
