Costs
Money & Budget
Build your budget around the expensive fixed items first: accommodation, transport, major attractions and parking.
Remember:Displayed prices may not always include every tax, fee or gratuity you will ultimately pay.
Accommodation
Compare the full stay price and check parking, resort or destination fees before booking.
Transport
Budget for rental-car taxes, fuel, tolls, parking, local transit and airport transfers.
Food & tipping
Restaurant prices can vary dramatically by destination. Leave room for tax and customary gratuities where applicable.
Attractions
Prioritize the experiences that define the trip and keep some free parks, neighborhoods and viewpoints in the itinerary.
Save money without ruining the trip
- Stay outside the most expensive nights when transport is easy
- Use free museum days when genuinely convenient
- Book rental cars and popular accommodation early
- Mix paid attractions with free outdoor experiences
