Save Money When you Hit the Road

AAA offers these suggestions for saving on vacation costs.

1. Visit Weber Chevrolet’s Gas Tracker website or other similar sites to find gas stations selling low cost fuel along your trip route.

2. Use AAA’s Fuel Cost calculator website to to estimate the amount and cost of gasoline needed for your trip.

3. Use trip planning and mapping websites to save on fuel by mapping out your route, getting point-to-point directions, and access travel information to ensure convenient, well-planned stops along the way. Advance trip planning helps travelers avoid getting lost and wasting high-priced fuel in the process.

4. Use member discounts to save money on hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Many credit cards offer “cash back” when you use them at specific locations. Zoo and museum memberships often include admission discounts at reciprocal locations. Other membership organizations like AAA offer discounts at many locations.

5. Search online for discount coupons at attractions, hotels, and restaurants you plan on visiting.
