With less travelers in the off peak travel season, the lowered Hotel rates, airline rates and car rental prices are a good reason to plan your trip. One good way to take advantage of this would be booking a hotel room and getting about 50% off - but before you do this, always confirm first with the hotel if you would still qualify for the offer.
Some hotels give discounts to certain people like students, military contingents, Senior citizens, honeymooners etc. Ask for these discounts and what their details, you can save a lot with these.
If you have children within a certain age limit, they may be able to stay at the hotel for free, so don't forget to inquire about the particulars of such deals if available.
If you have no specific preferences for a hotel location, a name-your-price website can help you with both car and hotel bookings. They'll do the haggling for you and you're sure not to over-budget.
Some hotels and even car rental companies, give "free days" if you use their services for more than a week. If you're planning to stay a while, this could help.
Make sure that the room fees are the only ones you're paying for. There are hotels that have all sorts of secret charges that suddenly appear to shock the customers when they check out. Always read the fine print and know what you're getting into - understand all the charges you have to pay for, and if you have to pay extra when you shouldn't, you shouldn't be paying.
Also ask the hotel about exchanging an expiring mileage card or one that you don't wish to use anymore - you just might be able to trade in your frequent flier miles for hotel reservations.
Sometimes, hotels provide free airport pick-up you can use this as bargaining tool. Ask for a free pickup when haggling so you'll get something extra even if you pay the full price.
As you edge closer towards peak season, you'll have to pay more on your reservation, so it would be good if you can book your reservation well in advance.
It all depends on the hotel - sometimes, you can get cheaper weekend rates and in other cases, weekdays would be cheaper - do not forget to ask your agent or anybody in the hotel which days would be cheaper so you could be able to plan your trip accordingly.
Always ask for a confirmation number when you reserve a room, so that they can't say that they didn't receive your reservation.
