Last little-known tip for cheap travel:negotiate your hotel room.
How? 'Or' What ? By calling the hotel directly. Then you kindly ask if they have a special rate for the date that suits you.
Of course, it's not 100% reliable especially during peak season.
But you will be surprised to find that many hotels, including large chains, are ready to make you rates up to 20% cheaper, both in France and abroad.
The best time to take advantage of these discounts is to call at the last moment.
Because if the hotel isn't full by 7 p.m., chances are they'll offer you a discount.
So don't forget to make a phone call to the hotels.
And don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time. Persevere!
Also be aware that prices may vary between branches of the same car rental company.
Clearly, if you go to Spain, don't forget to take a look at the French, but also Spanish, website of the car rental company.
Price differences can be up to 20%.
Of course, to save money on your trip, consider booking as early as possible and traveling out of season if possible.
For those who prefer the plane, compare the prices of low cost companies and remember to travel light.
