Monday’s Money Saving Travel Tips
Here are this week’s money saving travel tips. If I have neglected to mention your sure-fire way to save money while traveling, send me an email using the “email me” link at right.
- If you are 55 years of age, or older, consider the Senior Discount Card. It costs $24/year, so you will need to calculate if you will get a return on the purchase price. The benefits range from a percentage discount, 2-for-1 coupons, gift with purchase, and a variety of other coupons. You can search the website for discounts by type, or by location. A quick review shows a variety of travel related discounts.
- If your travels will be taking you to one location for an extended period of time, check to see if your local bank has branch offices there. If not, ask if your bank has any reciprical agreements for no-fee ATM use. You may be able to negotiate an agreement with your bank to waive all or a part of your ATM charges if you make the request in advance of your trip.
- Check your current health insurance policy to see if you have coverage while traveling abroad. Most health care plans don’t cover basic medical care while abroad, let alone emergency medical evacuation. Consider your risk factors (medical history, current health condition, and travel destination) to determine if supplemental insurance is a good value for you. The State Department web site lists companies that can provide this coverage.
