Summer is the perfect time to take a fun-filled vacation but traveling during the peak season won\u2019t come cheap.\u00a0 According to CheapAir.com<\/a>, July is the most expensive month to travel this summer.\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re planning an island getaway or a big city adventure, there are ways to save on summer travel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pick a destination within driving distance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the average cost of round-trip domestic airfare standing at $330 per person, a family of four can easily spend more than $1,300 on airfare alone.\u00a0 Take advantage of cheap gas prices by visiting a destination within driving distance instead.\u00a0 Not only will you save on airfare, you won\u2019t have to rent a car or pay for a cab.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plan around a deal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A great way to save on summer travel is by planning your vacation around a weekly special or a last-minute deal.\u00a0 Travel sites like Expedia<\/a> and Travelocity<\/a> offer daily deals which can save you a lot of money, but you\u2019ll need to have a flexible schedule.\u00a0 For the latest sale information, subscribe to your favorite airlines and travel sites mailing list.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fly on a weekday<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Even though driving to your destination may be cheaper, many people still prefer to fly.\u00a0 Most sales on airfare are restricted to weekday travel so you\u2019ll get the best deal if you keep your dates flexible.\u00a0 Tuesdays and Wednesdays are known to be the cheapest days to fly, while Fridays and Sundays are the most expensive.\u00a0 If you don’t mind traveling late at night, red-eye flights are also cheaper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stay at an all-inclusive resort<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you can find a good deal on an all-inclusive resort, take it.\u00a0 For one low price, your room, food and drinks (including alcohol) will be covered.\u00a0 Most resorts even provide daily activities and nightly entertainment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book a cruise<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cruises are another great way to stretch your vacation budget because you can visit multiple destinations on one trip.\u00a0 Every day you’ll wake up somewhere new.\u00a0 They\u2019re also easy to plan.\u00a0 Just pick the ship that matches your preferences, select your cabin and pack your suitcase.\u00a0 Similar to staying at an all-inclusive resort, the price covers your food, drinks, lodging and on-board entertainment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go where kids stay and eat for free<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When booking a family getaway, you can save on summer travel by choosing a resort that has a kids stay and eat for free program.\u00a0 Certain family-friendly properties like the Holiday Inn, allow kids 18 and under to stay for free when they share a room with their parents.\u00a0 Kids 11 and under also eat for free at any of their on-site restaurants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choose a destination with free entertainment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wherever you go, you don\u2019t want to be bored.\u00a0 Choose a destination where you can entertain your family for free.\u00a0 Vibrant cities like New Orleans, New York and Chicago have concerts, museums and historical landmarks that can be enjoyed at no cost.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reconsider getting a rental car<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t automatically assume you\u2019ll need a rental car to get from point A to point B.\u00a0 Research your destination and decide if it’s really worth it.\u00a0 If you\u2019re traveling to a big city like Las Vegas, it may be cheaper and easier to get around by walking or taking public transportation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

File your taxes fast and ez in 30 minutes or less.<\/h2>\n
