Traveling for labor day? Planning a holiday trip? Here are some ways to help save you money!

I'm a serious travel-deal hunter.

And there are two ways that can usually save me a lot of money.

The first involves rental cars.

A lot of us search for airport pick up.

It is the most convenient place.

It's also the most costly with added taxes and fees.

Recently, I took my family to the Midwest.     

I saved about $1000 by choosing a location other than the airport.

Same car, same time, and only a 5-minute Uber ride away.

It's worth a check.

With some airlines,  the fewer seats on a flight, the higher the price.

But what number of tickets triggers that increase?  

We had four people flying recently.

I tried booking all 4 and got a pretty high price for each.

Then I started booking one at a time.

I got a lower price for each of the first three tickets.

It was just the 4th ticket that I paid the higher amount.

I saved more than $300.

Too much time on my hands?

Maybe.

But I know a lot of you also have ways to save.
