Step 1
Finding hotel discounts and cheap travel deals is possible if you have a little patience, do your homework and know where to look.
-
Step 2
See what hotels are offering. Some hotels claim they offer the lowest rates on their own websites and will back this up with a price match guarantee. This means if you find it listed cheaper they will reimburse you the difference and some will even give you additional discounts. A few hotels even offer a free night in this deal.
-
Step 3
Use discount travel web sites such as Expedia and Hotwire to search for deals. These enable you to see prices for hotels, airline tickets, car rentals and more from a variety of sources.
-
Step 4
Consider using auction type web sites such as Priceline where you can bid or name the price you are willing to pay. Be sure you understand all of the rules and regulations before placing a bid as the reservations are usually non-refundable.
-
Step 5
Search online forums where people are discussing and posting hotel discounts and travel deals. You can benefit by learning what has or has not worked for others. You can find these types of forums by searching online for "discount travel forums", "deal discussion forums", etc.
-
Step 6
Take advantage of reward point programs, especially if you are a frequent traveler. Check with any company you use for travel, such as airlines, car rental companies and hotels to see if they have a reward program or offer frequent travel deals.
-
Step 7
Be aware that traveling certain times of the year are cheaper than others depending on your destination. For example, Las Vegas hotel rooms are very cheap in December.
-
Step 8
Making travel arrangements far in advance is usually a good way to secure lower prices, but last minute travel can also be an option to find hotel discounts and travel cheap. Look for web sites that specialize in last minute travel deals, or check with the airlines and hotels directly.
