If you’re like me, there were countless times you had a perfect travel plan, but not enough money to actually do it. And that’s a sad thought to be limited by your budget. But I thought there has to be a way to “hack” the system and save money here and there which later would end up in much bigger savings. Since I like to use apps I thought to check out in what ways can apps help us travel more. Finally, I found this useful list of a dozen of apps made for people who travel I liked the most.
Thanks to the apps I used, here’s what I learned how apps can help you out. So I hope my notes will plant a seed in your head so you know what you need to look for next time you decide to take a trip.
Budget for Your Vacation Like a Pro
Let’s face it, even luxurious, resort getaway vacations need budgets. And those of you traveling on a shoestring budget will definitely need some assistance keeping your finance in order. Apps for budgeting, like Mint, are super popular because they help you plan any kind of budget with calculators or worksheets. There are tons of great budgeting apps out there, but only one that is best for your needs, so make sure you shop around before choosing one.
Surprise Your Wallet by Bundling
When you book all of your travel expenses separately, it seems cheaper than booking a travel bundle. But actually, the total can come out to way more! Use apps to search hotels, rental cars, and airfare for upcoming trips, and then book them all at once. Plus, once you’ve booked your bundle, you can enjoy the convenience of having your entire itinerary in your pocket with bundling apps. One of our favorites is Kayak, but there are tons of amazing travel bundle apps out there!
Rack Up Travel Rewards with Loyalty Apps
If you travel all the time, you should consider joining a loyalty program. And luckily, there are tons of booking apps with loyalty programs, even for car rental services! From the moment you sign up (no commitment necessary) you’ll start getting access to great deals and rewards points. And if you travel enough, you’ll soon find yourself racking up free bonuses quickly. Loyalty programs can make your money go way farther than you’d expect!
Holidu
Do you already know where you want to go and how much you can spend? Using smart filters, you can find the best deals for your budget and for your plans. Just set your desired location and price range and see all the deals come pouring in. Whether you’re looking to rent a room in London or a hostel in the Philippines, you can easily locate all the best, money-friendly deals with Holidu.
Conclusion
Are you ready for your adventure yet? I hope these quick tips will help you at least in some way to make those travel plans a reality. I know it can be hard, but you know what they say: where there’s a will, there’s a way. Finally, since we’re living in the age of apps, we should at least make use of it. Naturally, there are apps that are not so good, but it’s all about testing out as I believe the technology can really help us out. So yes, good luck and happy travel.
