Use This App to Cut Your Gas Costs
Has the high cost of gas put a damper on your travel plans? Well, while it doesn’t look like gas will get any cheaper soon, you can pay less for it by planning your stops and using the GetUpside app.
With GetUpside, you can see which gas stations have the cheapest fuel along your route, so you never overpay. Even better, some gas stations will give you a 25 cent discount on each gallon of fuel just for using GetUpside, and you can convert those savings into PayPal cash or a gift card.
As for planning your stops, it’s no secret that stopping and starting up again uses more gas. So by knowing where the cheapest stations are on your route and planning your stops, you can save money on fuel while also getting to your destination quicker.
Rent an RV for $1
People have been moving all across the country since the pandemic hit. Some of these recent movers have vehicles that they need transported. Believe it or not, you can transport vehicles like cars, RVs, motor homes, and campers via a site like Imoova.com.
While you gain the benefit of essentially renting a car for as little as $1 per day, the owner of the vehicle gets it delivered to them by you. With this win-win situation, your family can enjoy cross-country travel in an automobile that was previously too pricy to try. And you also can avoid putting tons of miles on your own car, which lowers its value and can trigger the need for costly repairs.
Rent Your Gear
While renting something like an RV for $1 will significantly cut your travel costs, so can renting your gear from a site like Ruckify.com. For instance, if you want to take a camping trip, you can avoid the need to buy bikes, tents, etc., by renting them instead.
Besides saving on the overall cost of buying such equipment, you save the hassle of transporting it. Unless you have a large SUV or truck, lugging around bicycles for an entire family may not be an option. Rent them, and you won’t have that worry.
Get the Most Bang for Your Buck With Season Passes
Would you like to treat your family to as many attractions as possible? That can be pretty pricy, which is why looking for season passes is your best bet to extend your travel budget.
Instead of paying for each attraction separately, a season pass lets you enjoy several parks for one price. And it also lets you enjoy them at different times of the year, which makes them an excellent investment.
To see the potential savings of season passes, just look at the National Park pass as an example. It costs $80 and gives you access to over 400 national parks. What does entry to each cost, on average? $25, so after just four park visits, that season pass pays for itself.
