If you pay attention to the gossip columns full of five-star hotels and celebrity-studded gatherings, it might be easy to think that you don’t have the cash to enjoy your Spring Break vacation to its utmost. But the reality is that there are plenty of ways that you can get the most out of Spring Break on a budget, and we’re going to list some of the best of them right here at Money Ladder.

Travel Light

You’re going to be spending much of your time galavanting around your destination of choice anyway, so decking yourself out with all the comforts of home and the accessories they require to work won’t be necessary. Toiletries, a few sets of clothes, some snacks, and your phone to help you get around and relieve downtime are all you should really need to enjoy an affordable spring vacation

Get Cheap Lodgings

Again, since the whole point of your trip is to explore your surroundings and experience fun-filled adventures, staying in luxury digs isn’t a requirement for having a great time. There’s a good chance area hotels might be more expensive during Spring Break if you’re visiting a notoriously busy resort town, but your friends or family might have a couch to crash on, and if not there are always affordable motels! If you’re willing to share a room or part of a house, you can find an AirB&B, pay half the price, and rely on your host to suggest the best local sports and favorite restaurants on a budget. Some hosts may also offer insider tips on additional discounts or agree to be your very own guide.

Family Deals

Lots of entertainment venues and lodgings will be aware that you’re trying to plan Spring Break on a budget, so during family vacation rushes there will often be vouchers that will cut down on expenses if you’re traveling with your spouse and children. Look for reduced family pricing in places like zoos, museums, and even some hotels!

Ditch the Cars

Save big on gasoline and rental car fees by taking public transportation to all the hot spots you’re itching to visit; it’s easier to appreciate your new surroundings when you’re the passenger and not the driver, as well. Surge pricing will likely be in effect at night if you choose to use a rideshare app as well, so consider rocking Spring Break on a budget by looking up late-night bus routes and avoiding hefty fees.

Getting Your Grub On

There are probably going to be a lot of awesome restaurants in whatever big city you choose to visit for Spring Break, but try to quell the gourmand in you and stick mostly to fast food and affordable fare from the grocery store. Being judicious with what you eat for the majority of your trip will allow you to ‘spring’ for some truly nice food on occasion as well, so you don’t have to worry about losing out when you plan your vacation expenses.

 

Travel in a Pack

All of the suggestions on this list will become exponentially less expensive when you divide them among a large group of people. Travel with friends and family so you can split the bills on food, gas, and anything else you need to have a great time on your Spring Break.

Go By Ground

There’s no sense in buying an expensive plane ticket to your destination of choice when you can enjoy Spring Break on a budget by traveling via car, bus, or train. And if you’re going with your pals as we suggested above, you’ll enjoy reduced travel expenses and avoid the stress and associated expenses of the airport.
