Transportation and Travel
Advertisements
Getting from point A to point B, whether across town or across the globe, offers significant opportunities for savings through planning and flexibility.
1. Rethink Car Ownership
If you live in a city with good public transit, calculate if the total cost of ownership (loan, insurance, gas, maintenance, parking) is worth it compared to occasional ride-shares, car rentals, or bike-sharing. If you need a car, consider a reliable, fuel-efficient used model from a reputable brand.
2. Master Frugal Travel Hacking
Travel during shoulder seasons, be flexible with dates and airports, and use flight comparison tools with flexible search options. Consider alternative accommodations like vacation rentals (often with kitchens to save on food) or house-sitting. The essence of travel is the experience, not the luxury of the hotel.
3. Optimize Daily Commutes
Combine errands to make fewer trips. Maintain proper tire pressure and drive smoothly to improve fuel efficiency. For shorter distances, embrace walking or cycling—it’s free and beneficial for your health.
