Take a break and take a trip! Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a week-long stay, keep your costs under control with these tips.

On the road. Save time and money by downloading free travel apps – not only can you find the cheapest gas around you can also find the best places to eat! And if you’re renting a car, avoid the unneccessary rental fees by saying “no” to add-ons.

In the air. Flying may be quicker, but it can also be expensive. To find the best price on a ticket, check fares often and be sure to search airline sites individually – some reserve their best prices for their own sites. Don’t have time to constantly check? Sign up for fare alerts on travel sites (try FareCompare or Airfarewatchdog) and let them do the work for you. And don’t forget to pack lightly to avoid the baggage fees!
