Top 5 Ways To Save Money On A Road Trip & Experience More

March 31, 2021 by Annie

Hitting the road creates a sense of freedom. Although you probably have a destination in mind and specific places you want to see, the time it takes and the things you see on the journey are what make the experience.

Of course, traveling by road is still one of the cheapest options and it provides the opportunity to stop and see the sights. You’re in control of the journey. However, road trips are not free! You need to allow for fuel, accommodation, and food. The costs can add up which is why you need to know the top 5 ways to save money on your road trip.

  • Book Parking In Advance

You’ll inevitably want to visit a few cities on your travels. They are great ways to experience the most impressive sights and enjoy the local entertainment.

But, regardless of what you’re driving you’ll find parking in cities can be expensive. That’s why you need to look into private parking options, such as this site to help you with parking Brisbane. They connect you with locals who have spaces free, giving you somewhere to park for a fraction of the price of car parks.

When you look at the average cost of parking in a city you’ll quickly appreciate how much money this approach can save you.

  • Check Your Vehicle Often

It makes sense to get your vehicle serviced before you hit the highway. This will help to ensure it’s running properly and reduces the likelihood of issues. But, it’s not enough just to do it before you leave. The right tire pressures and oil level can help to make sure your engine runs smoothly and you’ll get better miles per gallon. That means less money on fuel.

All you have to do is make sure you check the oil, water, and tires at least once a week.

  • Avoid The Tolls

When you driving long distances you’ll find there are several toll roads you need to be aware of. These roads are mainly located in the eastern states but the cost of these tolls can quickly add up. Plan your route to avoid any toll roads. You won’t just be saving money, you’ll find that you’re on the smaller roads and can enjoy a variety of scenery that you probably wouldn’t see if you stuck to toll roads.

  • Fuel Discount Cards

You may not know this but you can get a fuel discount card. These are frequently used by haulage companies but it’s possible to get one yourself. The card gets you discounted fuel at thousands of fuel stations across the country. Considering how much you’ll be spending on fuel, even a small discount can make a big difference.

  • Camp

To save money you’ll want to avoid the hotels and hostels where possible. Save them for the cities where you’ll need a safe and comfortable bed after a hard night partying.

When you’re traveling across the country take a tent and keep an eye on the free camping apps. There is always somewhere you can pitch for free and a place to shower and use the toilets. It can save you as much as $1600 per month!

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
