4 Ways to Save Money

TRANSPORTATION


Airline Fares

1. You can lower the price of a roundtrip air fare by as much as
two-thirds by making certain your trip includes a Saturday
evening stayover, and by purchasing the ticket in advance.

2. To make certain you have a cheap fare, even if you use a
travel agent, call all the airlines that fly where you want to go
and ask what the lowest fare to your destination is.

3. Keep an eye out for fare wars.  Be prepared to act quickly.


Car Rental

1.  Since car rental rates can vary greatly, shop around for the
best basic rates and special offers.

2. Rental car companies offer various insurance and waiver
options.  Check with your insurance agent and credit card company
in advance to avoid duplicating any coverage you may already
have.


New Cars

1. You can save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a car
by selecting a model that combines a low purchase price with low
financing, insurance, gasoline, maintenance, and repair costs. 
Ask your local librarian for new car guides that contain this
information.

2. Having selected a model, you can save hundreds of dollars by
comparison shopping.  Call at least five dealers for price quotes
and let each know that you are calling others.

3. Remember there is no "cooling off" period on new car sales. 
Once you have signed a contract, you are obligated to buy the
car.


Used Cars

1. Before buying any used car:

     a. Compare the seller's asking price with the average retail
     price in a "bluebook" or other guide to car prices found at
     many libraries, banks, and credit unions.
