How To Book Cheap Reservations


by Richard Horowitz


Plan your vacations on off seasons, Hotel rates, even airline and car rental rates are lower during this time due to lower demand. You can get as much as a 50% discount if you book a room during off season, so try and call the hotel if they have off season discounts and ask them when the discounts will be effective.

Some hotels give discounts to certain people like students, military contingents, Senior citizens, honeymooners etc. Ask for these discounts and what their details, you can save a lot with these.

Ask if your kids can stay for free, if you're with your family, sometimes hotels can allow up to two kids for a two bed room provided that the kids are within the age limit.

If you have no specific preferences for a hotel location, a name-your-price website can help you with both car and hotel bookings. They'll do the haggling for you and you're sure not to over-budget.

If you stay in a hotel or use a rented car for over a week, you just might qualify for a free day. If you're going to have an especially long vacation, ask about these incentives.

Make sure that the room fees are the only ones you're paying for. There are hotels that have all sorts of secret charges that suddenly appear to shock the customers when they check out. Always read the fine print and know what you're getting into - understand all the charges you have to pay for, and if you have to pay extra when you shouldn't, you shouldn't be paying.

Also ask the hotel about exchanging an expiring mileage card or one that you don't wish to use anymore - you just might be able to trade in your frequent flier miles for hotel reservations.

Sometimes, hotels provide free airport pick-up you can use this as bargaining tool. Ask for a free pickup when haggling so you'll get something extra even if you pay the full price.

If you have no choice or would really have to travel during peak season, reserve well in advance, because rates get higher as the calendar draws closer to peak season.

Sometimes, weekend rates are lower than regular fees, or vice versa, ask your agent, or ask the hotel yourself if they have these, then you can schedule your trip during these times and be able to avail of the discount.

And last, but not the least, the most important thing you have to ask for when booking a hotel is a confirmation number.
