Even if your international travel plans fell apart this year, you can use your free time to explore local attractions. A road trip around your home country is a great idea, and here’s how you can keep your expenses low.
Don’t Go Alone
Road trips are much more fun when your friends join you for the ride. In addition to providing you with some good company, they’ll also help you cut the costs of gas, food, and accommodation because you’d be splitting the bill.
Food and Accommodation
You can save money on food by packing a couple of snacks or even bringing a portable mini fridge along. If you’re going to spend the night, make sure to book accommodation in advance, or find a cheap or free camping ground.
Gas and Parking
Gas and parking will be two of your biggest road trip expenses, so make sure to approach them wisely. Research your options in advance if possible, and maximize your gas usage by watching your speed, only bringing necessary luggage, and turning the AC off.
