Traveling cheap to the United States: tips to save

The tips I will give are the analyzes we use to do on our travels.

Every idea, every calculation, every place we plan is put into our travel plan.

Initially you need to have well defined:

• how much can you spend
• what places do you want to visit
• how many days do you intend to stay

From these points, realization of that dream.

First steps on how to travel cheaply to the United States: tips to save money

Purchasing airline tickets

Search the promotions, this search should start months before your trip (minimum 3 months before).

 Promotions happen when we least expect it and you need to know all the possible values (without promotion) and evaluate whether it is worth making the purchase.

We managed to get advantages of up to R$1,500.00 per ticket, it's really worth the wait and care.

Car rental

at the link US car rental we talk about details of how to make your rent.

There are numerous advantages, which for us is the most fun part of the trip:

• Sleeping in the car, turning it into your tent! (where it is possible to camp).
• Driving for many kilometers and discovering countless different places with incredible scenery.

Tip: if you have a motorhome license, it is a good rental option. It is very common in the US to rent a motorhome. 

Negative points:

• you won't be able to go everywhere you want to go;
•  you have to pay more at the campgrounds;
• Need to evacuate the bathroom tank and put water.

Anyway, you need a little more patience. But, for a trip of many days, more than a month, I consider it very valid!

cheap hotels

Another very important point of your trip is to choose an economical hotel. Their lowest standard, for us Brazilians, is almost 5 stars.

We've always been lucky to get very clean hotels, good service and with a bathtub.

Since the bathtub for us is not even a requirement, however it is quite common to have in hotels.

Tip: when we stay more than one night somewhere, we choose hotels that have a kitchen in the room. A kind of kitnet.

We highly recommend it, that way you can save on food and make some food prepared by yourself, or buy food ready to heat in the microwave (lasagna, pizza...).

Do your research through rental sites, such as Booking, airbnb, hotels.com, among others, it is faster to find cheaper prices.

Food

We made a very nice article that talked only about food and how to eat cheaply.

If you manage to save money in this regard, you will undoubtedly be able to spend it on many other things that you will enjoy much more.

You just need to know how to choose the right options.

Buy clothes and electronics at cheap stores

Discover the stores that have super affordable prices and that fit in your pocket.

Tip: learn to be patient and research! You always find good quality products at great prices!

Traveling cheap to the United States: tips to save

Finally, I hope I helped with your choices. Patience and research are the keywords to SAVE.

It's no use taking a trip like that, using your card limit and when you get home not knowing how to pay.

leave everything set: how much you will have to spend on hotels, food, car, park entrances and stores (clothes and electronics).

That way, you won't be surprised!

To summarize:

• Hotels in the US are great, so do your research prices!
