Spring break is a great time to get loose from the pressures of school and work that young people face. It's also a period of time in which you're likely to spend ridiculous amounts of money. For that reason, it's important to cut every corner that you can to keep your spring break costs low. In this article, we'll offer some tips towards saving hard-earned dough when it comes to vacationing in a party zone.
First, it's very important to shop around when it comes to your accommodations. Many spring break spots offer plenty of different hotels that can fit any budget, offering you dirt-cheap prices at dirt-packed motels and the finest accommodations at the more fancy spring break resorts. It's important to think about what you would value in your hotel; if you're planning on spending your days and nights on the town, location may be important but fancy rooms may not be. To that end, there are usually a few low-budget motels situated relatively close to the main drag in spring break towns where you can save a buck at the cost of cleanliness. It's also key to ask any travel agents that you may be consulting if there's a special student rate. Surprisingly, many agents offer these rates, and if they don't, they are usually happy to offer you a group discount should you be traveling with a crew of spring breakers.
One trick that many spring breakers use to save money is the condo option. Many condos are often available for rent in popular spring break destinations, offering you the opportunity to split large accommodations amongst your group resulting in a lower cost. Also, staying in a condo gives you the opportunity to use the kitchen and refrigerator which can save you a wealth of cash. Once you get to your spring break spot, hit the grocery store and buy some things that you can cook so that you won't have to spend all your spring break cash at restaurants.
Traveling by car can also be a great option when it comes to getting to your destination. In addition to carpooling and being able to chip in on gas, you also don't have to worry about transportation or getting a rental car once you get into the city. Be wary, however, when driving in a spring break spot. Police officers are usually on the lookout for out-of-state partiers when it comes to pulling people over, and you may find yourself getting the third degree for the most minor of infractions. Drinking and driving is a definite no-no when taking your car on a cruise through the place that you are staying.
