Even when you carefully plan and budget for a vacation, additional travel expenses often crop up, thanks to a sneaky technique called drip pricing.
BBB recommends the following tips to predict, prepare for, and even avoid the hidden travel fees buried in the fine print:
- Watch out for resort fees;
- Look for hospitality tax;
- Not all airport shuttle services are free;
- Find out about parking;
- Don’t assume hotel amenities are complimentary;
- Pack as little as possible when flying;
- Find out precisely what is included in the price of your airline ticket;
- Check-in and print your boarding pass before going to the airport;
- Understand your airline’s change and cancellation rules;
- Don’t get hit with roaming charges;
- Get the most from currency exchanges;
- And double-check visa and tourist fees.
