HOLIDAY WITH THESE BUDGET TIPS

2. Travelling whether for business or for leisure can be
expensive. While this may not be a problem if you
have the money to splurge or if you are sponsored
by your company, it is still important to be
financially practical during your trips. The money
you’ll be able to save from your holiday expenses
can be spent on other great things such as gifts or
souvenirs.

3. 1. Time Your Visit
Time your trip so you can get savings on your ticket. For
example, if you are flying in to Melbourne from Sydney, the
most expensive flights tend to be from 6am to 9am while the
cheapest are from 4pm onwards. You can use flight
comparison websites in hunting for the best prices, but book
directly at your chosen airline to save from add-on costs.

4. 2. Commute rather than Hire a Car
If renting a car can be costly for your holiday, then worry not.
Melbourne is a city with an accessible public transport system. There
are trams and buses that will cost you less while touring around the
city. If you want, you can also opt for the Melbourne Bike Share for an
even cheaper mode of transportation. Just make sure to pick an
accommodation located close to public transport for convenience.

5. 3. Pick the Right Accommodation
Hotels are the usual accommodation for during holidays or business
trips. However, it may not be the most cost-efficient or convenient
choice. You can opt for self contained rental homes. These
accommodation are offered at cheaper prices especially if you are
planning for longs stays. Holiday rentals such as the ones offered by
Stay Innercity also have kitchens so you can cook your own food.

6. 4. Plan Your Meals
We know that not all people are good in the kitchen. And of course, a
Melbourne holiday won’t be complete without sampling what the
local restaurants & cafés has to offer. Well, you can still save money
by planning your meals. Research in advance the closest restaurants
and places to eat including the prices of their menu. Use the
information that you have gathered to know where best to go.

7. 5. Take Advantage of Free Activities
Melbourne has many attractions that can be enjoyed free or at a small
fee. You can visit city parks and gardens for picnics, you can go to
galleries and museums to discover the city’s art and history, or you
can witness free gigs at almost anywhere. There are lots of online
blogs where you can find information on free things to do in the city.

8. Always remember that not all enjoyable holiday
experience can be costly. All you have to do is get the
right accommodation and transportation and plan your
trip in advance to have an unforgettable holiday
without making a big hole in your pocket.
