15 travel websites you should bookmark ahead of your holiday

written by Dan Casper May 3, 2018

Travel and tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. As a result, there are plenty of companies that have been created to help you explore… at a cost.

But you don’t have to spend a fortune to travel well – choose a great destination that is pocket-friendly, use Google in Incognito mode to find the best rates, and check out the websites below for money-saving travel ideas. Be sure to check out before you board your flight!

Budget accommodation websites

Couchsurfing

This may not suit everyone, but for solo and couple travellers, Couchsurfing lets you stay with people just like you, for free. Live like a local and get the insider tips on the city you’re staying in.

HostelBookers

This site lets you find cheap hostels and hotels anywhere in the world. But just because you have a beer budget, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on champagne! Some of these hostels at HostelBookers are seriously beautiful, and if you don’t mind sharing a room you can stay for as little as $20 a night!

Home Exchange

Similar to Couchsurfing, if you want to live like a local, then HomeExchange is for you. Swap your home with a family, or stay with another family anywhere in the world. You don’t have to own your own home either, but check with your landlord beforehand.

All-in-one travel booking sites that save you money

Tripadvisor

SeatGuru

A part of the TripAdvisor group, SeatGuru is more than just a booking site. With detailed information and sitemaps of planes, intel on different airlines, and a host of other helpful information, this site is worth checking even if you don’t use it for booking.

Yapta

Have you ever wanted a personal assistant? You have one now, with Your Amazing Personal Travel Assistant. This site will notify you if the prices for your desired flights drop, and will continue to do so even after you book tickets. This gives you an opportunity to ask the airline for a refund of the difference. If you pay $15, then Yapta will even contact the airline on your behalf. Basically, they want to save you money and will do everything than can to ensure your travel is as cheap as possible.
