How to Save Money and Avoid Spending Traps

Nobody wants to waste money while traveling. A good vacation will cost you money, but it should not be a money-wasting exercise. You shouldn't have to pay too much, and you shouldn't have to waste money because you simply didn't know any better. Here's the Samsonite SA guide to saving money by avoiding common travel pitfalls.



Visa charges

Did you know that South Africans do not need a visa to visit 99 countries?

Why are you willing to pay (often exorbitant) visa fees to visit a country when there are dozens more to which you can travel visa-free? Saving those costs not only allows you to stick to your budget, but it also allows you to spend that money on something else in another country. Maybe you can upgrade your accommodations or spend a little more money on some incredible sightseeing opportunities?

Drop-off fees

When it comes to airport drop-off fees, keep an eye out.

To avoid budget surprises, try researching the costs ahead of time. It will cost you some money to get to the airport as you leave (unless a friend drives you), but it will cost you much more to return home via an airport drop-off. Know the cost, compare lift services, and look for free remote drop-off zones and courtesy lifts to the airport. The minor inconvenience is well worth the extra money.

Baggage charges

Travel bag fees will always be expensive. Smart packing and luggage purchases can help you avoid those pesky costs.

An expandable case, for example, can accommodate a lot more items than checking in another luggage bag kuwait. Some airports are stingy with extra luggage bag kuwait, and prices are high, especially in foreign currency. For those on a tighter budget, a great cabin carry-on can also work – and if you're only going for a short trip, it may be all you need.

Charges for roaming

Data has not yet fallen. Until that happens, the cost of calls, messages, and data usage will remain high, and that's before we even get into roaming. Cell roaming charges add up quickly, and a surprise bill after a vacation is not something you want or need. Unlock your phone and purchase a SIM card that is valid in the country you are visiting. A few dollars for a local sim card can save you money in the long run. Furthermore, sim cards in the EU work in the majority of EU countries.

Souvenirs

Your money does not deserve to be spent on an airport key ring.

Those last-minute.com purchases for loved ones can add up. Save money by thinking clearly and avoiding those last-minute purchases.

Look around; there are bargains everywhere. As a general rule. If you see other tourists gathering, do not buy anything from them. Tourist traps are precisely that: traps. Negotiate, walk away if necessary, and go shopping a few blocks away. The same goods at half the price.

WiFi

WiFi should be complimentary at your hotel. Seriously. It's free at your local restaurant, and it should be free where you're staying. Look around. When doing business on the go, the costs of data can quickly add up, so consider it a business necessity.

Airport water and minibars

I'd rather not. Your bill is going to skyrocket. Instead, go to a nearby store and stock up on water, beers, and wine.

Why should you pay (often exorbitant) prices for water?

Bring an empty bottle with you and fill it up as soon as you can from a nearby fountain or watering hole. Problem solved, tens of thousands of Rands saved.

Taxis

Do not take a taxi that is not metered. Save money by viewing it as a business trip that must be planned. Before you leave, check to see if the in-car meter is operational. Rather than risk a non-metered and thus unregulated taxi, take a metered taxi or Uber/Taxify service.
