Some tips and ideas that will help you save money in various areas of your life:Airline Fares
1.You may lower the price of a round trip air fare by as much as two-thirds by making certain your trip includes a Saturday evening stay over, and by purchasing the ticket in advance.
2.To make certain you have a cheap fare, even if you use a travel agent, contact all the
airlines that fly where you want to go and ask what the lowest fare to your destination is.
3.Be flexible, if possible. Consider using low fare carriers or alternative airports and keep an eye out for fare wars.Car Rental
1.Since car rental rates can vary greatly, shop around for the best basic rates. Ask about any additional charges (extra driver, gas, drop-off fees) and special offers.
2.Rental car companies offer various insurance and waiver options. Check with your automobile insurance agent and credit card company in advance to avoid duplicating any coverage you may already have. New Cars
1.You can save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a car by selecting a model that combines a low purchase price with low financing, insurance, gasoline, maintenance, and repair costs. Ask your local librarian for new car guides that contain this information.
2.Having selected a model, you can save hundreds of dollars by comparison shopping. Call at least five dealers for price quotes and let each know that you are calling others.
3.Remember there is no "cooling off" period on new car sales. Once you have signed a contract, you are obligated to buy the car.Used Cars
1.Before buying any used car: Compare the seller's asking price with the average retail price in a "bluebook" or other guide to car prices found at many libraries, banks, and credit unions. - Have a mechanic you trust check the car, especially if the car is sold "as is."
2.Consider purchasing a used car from an individual you know and trust. They are more likely than other sellers to charge a lower price and point out any problems with the car. For more continue on www.careinsure..com
