10 Ways To Save Money On Hotels

We want to give you some useful tips that you can use the next time you need to book a hotel. Use these tips on your next trip or adventure:

1. Book With Friends or Associates

Now it's time to show you how to save money on hotels. One way that you can save money on a hotel is if you split the cost with at least one other person. It's just like carpooling. The more people involved in the process, the less money will have to come out of your pocket. Therefore, you should speak to your family members, friends, or business associates before you book the hotel.

You should also contact the hotel to see how many people can occupy one room at a time. Then, you'll need to calculate the cost of the hotel room and divide it by the number of people who will share the room with you. For example, let's say that the prospective hotel charges $100 a night, and you need to stay at the hotel for two nights. That total cost would be $200 plus any applicable taxes. We'll use 10 percent as an example, as you would need to pay a combination of sales taxes and lodging taxes.

Your taxes for that particular stay would be $20, and then you would need to add it to the $200 for a total of $220. If you split the costs with one other person, your share will only be $110. Thus, splitting the bill will most likely be the quickest and most effective way to save money.

2. Book Early

Another way that you can save money on a hotel booking is by reserving your room early. Your goal should be to snatch your room reservation before it gets too busy, and you have to pay more money. Hotel pricing tends to rise as the occupancy grows. Most hotels have a cancellation policy. Therefore, you won't have to worry if your plans change, and you have to cancel.

You need to stay informed of the hotel's cancellation policy and follow their process, however.

You can usually access that information by looking on the company's website for it. You can always contact the corporate entity if the information is not easily accessible to you. 

3. Use Membership and Misc. Discounts

You might be able to find various membership and miscellaneous discounts to save money on your hotel booking. For example, the hotel you want to stay in may offer senior citizen discounts, military discounts, or special membership discounts. Special membership discounts are perks for certain memberships, such as roadside rescue plans or credit unions. Check with your credit unions, banks, and other organizations to find out if you have access to such discounts.

You will then use a special code before you check out on the hotel's website. Notify the customer service agent of your discount eligibility if you need to book your hotel by telephone. 

4. Take Advantage of Comparison and Discount Sites

Comparison sites and discount sites are two separate entities that can help you to obtain discounts on your hotel bookings.

COMPARISON SITES

Comparison sites give you search results based on a specific location radius. Those results will give you information about the hotel's room pricing and star ratings. The star ratings come from consumers who have visited the hotels. They usually range from one star for the worst quality to five stars for the best quality. These sites may also have clickable links that you can click to visit each hotel's main page. You can use their information to choose your best option.

DISCOUNT SITES

A discount site is a site that does all the work for you to find you the cheapest hotels. You can also utilize one of these to get the savings you desire. All you need to do is enter your desired booking dates and the number of days you want to stay. Their advanced software will find the best prices for you, and then you can do the necessary research to find yourself the best options.

5. Look for Coupons and Discount Codes

You can also search for savings by looking for online coupons and discount codes. Coupons may be available for first-time hotel patrons. You might be able to find such coupons on the hotel's website. Promotional codes and coupons can also be found on third-party sites that offer them. You can enter the codes during your checkout process to receive a discount. 

6. Use a Rewards Credit Card

Many credit card companies offer their cardholders access to rewards. These rewards may be points or actual cash that they can use to buy merchandise, receive statement credits, or obtain gift cards. Either way, it's cash back into your pocket. Therefore, you should connect with your credit card company to see which hotels will activate your reward benefit.

7. Book on the Least Busiest Days

You'll also have to be a smart reservationist if you want to save money on booking a hotel. You should learn which days of the week are the least expensive and book during those days. The busiest days for hotels aren't always the weekends. Therefore, you might be able to save money on a Saturday or Sunday rental. 

8. Book a Bundle

Bundling is also a way to save money if you need to book a hotel. Bundling is the process of putting together several services to obtain a greater discount. For example, you might book a hotel room, a rental car, and a parking spot for a specific amount that provides you with a discount on the hotel in the end. Consider partaking in a bundled booking if you need additional services.  

9. Consider Booking at a Less Popular Establishment

Not everyone has to book a five-star hotel. Hotels with lower star ratings tend to offer cheaper pricing. We're not saying that you should go out there and reserve a room at a one-star hotel. What we are saying is that you might be able to work a compromise. Consider signing up with a three-star hotel if it gives you what you need and might provide you with a satisfying experience. Many three-star hotels offer their customers amazing customer service experiences, clean rooms, and affordable options. Therefore, you may want to leave it open to consideration. 

10. Seek Only the Most Important Amenities

You may also benefit by booking a hotel that doesn't offer the same bells and whistles as other hotels. You don't have to operate as a minimalist, but again, you can compromise. You might be able to survive without a wake-up breakfast or a fitness room. Maybe you won't need Wi-Fi. Consider all of those factors before you start looking for a hotel, and you might find discounts easier. 

How To Simplify Hotel Booking

It's important to make your experience easy and hassle-free. Therefore, you should look for opportunities to make your booking effortless. Consider downloading a hotel booking app or using the hotel's website to book. Online booking can happen within minutes, and it can save a lot of your precious time.
