How to Stick to Your Travel Budget

No matter where you go, travel can be expensive. That’s why we cater to those who are looking for cheap long-term parking at Philadelphia Airport. At Winner, we offer safe, secure, and friendly long-term parking at an affordable price. Here are a few other tips from our experts for how to stick to your travel budget and save:

Set a Daily Limit

If you’re strict about your travel budget, divvy it up into a daily allowance and don’t go over your limit. If you have trouble limiting your spending, try carrying around cash. This way, you can carry around the maximum amount you want to spend and you’ll always know how much you have left for the day. When planning, just be sure to adjust for days when you’ll have extra expenses like a museum or a ferry ride.

Limit Your Meals Out

It’s easy to forget about the cost of eating out when planning your travel budget. Unfortunately, even just two meals each day can cost more than $30 per person. To limit your spending, try booking a hotel that offers free breakfast. This lets you save several dollars a day (and you won’t have to search for somewhere to eat first thing in the morning). In addition, try to eat a large or late lunch. Dinner tends to be the most expensive meal of the day, so spending a little more on lunch (and eating something light for dinner) can help you save in the long run.

Use Public Transportation

Do you usually rent a car during your vacations? If you’re traveling to a major city, why not forgo the rental and use public transportation instead? Many cities have bus, train, and/or trolley systems that can get you where you need to go and help you save some money. These days, many cities are also implementing bike share programs that give you an even more affordable (and environmentally friendly!) way to navigate around the area.

That’s why we encourage you to make a reservation at Winner. Our parking prices are not only affordable, but they come with a unique valet parking experience.

Instead, we’ll drive you to and from PHL in the comfort of your own car and we’ll drop you off and pick you up right at your terminal.

Try Haggling

Are you heading to an area that has a lot of local goods? If so, try haggling to save yourself some money. Individual sellers at places like produce stands, jewelry kiosks, clothing huts, and more are usually willing to work with you on prices. So don’t be afraid to suggest a cost that you think is fair. In fact, this Travel + Leisure article says haggling can make you an even better traveler!

Plan Your Own Tour

A tour of the city can be a fun way to spend a few hours, but it can also mean an added expense. If you’re someone who likes learning and planning, why not create your own tour of the city? You can research the history of the area, the best things to see, great places to eat, and more. Not only will you save money, you’ll also learn a lot! You also won’t have to deal with crowds of strangers or worry about not being able to understand your guide.
