Travel Tips to Reduce your Family Holiday Travel Expenses

November 1, 2021 by Juliann Leave a Comment

Holiday travel plans look different this year. More hidden costs, restrictions and requirements for even domestic travel can make planning your usual yearly trip costly if you aren’t aware, especially when traveling with kids. Most countries including the United States, have new rules and regulations that could cost you thousands. But with careful consideration and the tips below, you can cut your family holiday travel expenses:

Check COVID requirements for states

Vaccinated or not, it’s important to check what the state you’re going to says about visiting. Some may require an incubation period, vaccination proof, and additional medical coverage. Check the guidelines of where you’re visiting so your trip isn’t ruined by forgotten proof of medical records or a required quarantine period. If you’re going to a state that requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination, be sure to put everyone’s vaccine cards in an easily accessible place and keep them organized so you aren’t searching for them for hours.

Prepare ahead of time

The booming post-pandemic travel industry doesn’t allow you to plan last-minute. Planning weeks and even months in advance for important pieces of your trip (hotels, rental car, etc.) is crucial and can actually get you the best deals for things like flights and rooms. This allows gives you time to budget.For larger families, this step is especially crucial to book hotel rooms or rental houses/villas with enough beds for everyone.

Insure your travel

 Most medical insurance plans don’t cover medical costs when you are out of out of network or out of state. When traveling to another state, a visit to the doctor could cost thousands. Consider an out of state (OOS) medical insurance that would work best for you. Goose Insurance has a great comprehensive plan that includes trip cancellation coverage, hospital, physician and ambulance services, $250,000 in medical coverage with COVID-19 being covered, and more. If you are travelling outside of the country this holiday season, make sure you get the Goose COVID-19 Plan that will cover you for COVID-19 related medical emergencies as well as if your trip gets canceled or interrupted due to COVID-19. This Goose policy also meets the insurance requirements of many countries.

While you are at it, make sure you also pay adequate attention while booking your flights, especially when you have a long journey ahead. For such travel situations, you can consider booking a business class flight as they offer the utmost comfort for you and your family.

Look into loyalty programs

Whether or not your family is full of frequent travelers, consider looking into airline, hotel and any other travel related rewards programs. Oftentimes by signing up, you can get a great deal on your next trip. Consider what kind of rewards program would be beneficial and weigh your options to see which can get you the best deals. For families with kids, looking into rewards loyalty programs at hotels with activities and amenities for them can help you get more out of your stay and keep them busy.
