- 1). Keep a map handy to gather your options before deciding on a motel. Mark areas where there are motels close to your destination. Keep a list, comparing pricing as well as the motels' accommodations. Ask staff from the larger motel chains for information on what's around them and what other motels can be found nearby. Some of the smaller motels are less known and do not participate in excessive advertising.
- 2). Go online. In going online you can register for savings with multiple motels/hotels. These memberships are offered for free and require only a basic form to be filled out, including your name, address and birthday. Becoming a member can save you a percentage, or you can rack up points working toward a bigger savings, such as a free night's stay, for example.
- 3). Register with the American Automobile Association (AAA). Having a AAA membership is a low-cost option that can help you in a variety of ways. When you have a AAA membership, you can receive assistance in the event your car needs to be towed or even if you run out of gas. Membership also allows you the opportunity to saving on flights, hotels and even rental cars, among other things. If you are a frequent traveler, a AAA membership is a great thing to take along.
