subject: Holiday Trip Tips- Finding The Best Price On Hotel Accommodations [print this page] Planning a trip has become increasing difficult as there are so lots of options to choose from. After finding a hotel that suits all your needs you must ascertain whether you are getting a good rate. To get the best deal you must be thorough as well as flexible. Just as you purchase time sourcing air tickets at bargain prices you can do the same for hotel bookings. Read all travel offers carefully, set aside discount booklets your bank or credit card company sends you for use when you travel. If you are smart you will save somewhat a lot.
'Lowest rate guarantee' are mainly on offer online but are subject to advance booking and has a very harsh cancellation policies. Even if the price offered online is attractive do call the hotel up and see if they are willing to better the rate. If you plan your travel well in advance you could get a discount of 50percent or more during off season.
Some hotels have special rates for members of AAA, American Automobile Association and other professional bodies or clubs.
Call the hotel of your choice and ask them if they do have such schemes.
Surf the net and see what online travel sites are offering. Many sites list special offers as well as discounts. You could browse the hotel internet site to get a good deal. Often hotels that cater to business travelers have great rates on what they consider off season, weekends. Ask about weekend rates.
If you are traveling in a group ask about group rates or family rates. Most hotels have unique options for multiple bookings.
Some even offer a day or two additional stay at no extra cost.
When you leave the airport or railway station or just drive in to a town stop at a gas station and get out if they have hotel coupon booklets. These lots of a time have great offers for visitors.
Opaque-pricing travel sites do offer good rates for good hotels.
All you can do is indicate where you want accommodation. The reservation needs to be made online and is non refundable and one cannot change plans or cancel. The only downside is you cannot specify a hotel. Consider buying an Entertainment book discount for between US$22 to 45. Becoming a member entitles you to discounts of 50percent on the rack rate of member hotels.
When you ask a travel agent or refer to a brochure for rates what you get is the generally quoted rate for room. But if you are wise you can get a better deal and save a bunch of money.
