As much as many of us love Florida, we also know that a trip to the sunshine state doesn’t come cheap.
If you want a chance to soak up the sun in Miami or visit the theme parks in Orlando, then you’re going to need to upgrade your knowledge of money-saving tips before you begin planning your big trip. To help both families and individuals alike make the most of their next Florida vacation, we’ve put together this list of tips on how to travel to Florida on a budget.
Step 1: Don’t Fly Direct
Flying directly to Florida will always be more expensive – no matter where you might be flying from. An alternative option is to use an airline that cuts down the price by making you switch planes at certain terminals during your trip. The unfortunate, part of this is that is going to take longer for you to get to Florida, but you will reach your destination in the end, probably with a hefty saving in your pocket too!
Step 2: Stay In-Resort at Orlando
Although many families automatically dismiss Orlando resorts in the theme parks when they’re trying to find a cheap place to stay, it’s worth checking out the deals that are available. Many options come with unique dining offers, free transport to the parks, and other money-off solutions that can help you to reduce the overall cost of your trip.
Step 3: Use Local Transport
Getting around in Florida isn’t easy without a car, but rental costs can sometimes be expensive. With that in mind, your best bet would be to make the most of the public transportation service. Most of the time, the bus only costs a couple of dollars to get wherever you need to go, and it could mean that you end up with more money to spend on food and souvenirs.
Step 4: Don’t Visit During the Holidays
This might seem like an obvious tip for some, but the best way you can save money when traveling to Florida is to make sure that you’re not taking your trip at the same time as everyone else. Remember that airfare is cheaper in the middle of the weeks, and if you take your trips outside of the times when schools are off, then you’re less likely to have to deal with huge crowds of children too!
