How to get a luxury holiday on a budget

Summer’s here and many are getting ready to go on holiday. This year is luxury on your mind but you don’t have the budget to afford a 5 star vacation. Always Save Money host Rubina Ahmed-Haq spoke to Bob Diener, the President of Getaroom.com on how to score a great deal on a hotel room this summer. Here are some tips to keep in mind before you book your summer holiday 1.Do your research before you buy. After you decide what city you want to travel too, figure out that city’s high and low season. Also is this city busier on the weekends or during the week. All this information and a little flexibility will help you save money 2.Always pick up the phone and ask for the "unpublished rate." Often a real live agent can give you a bigger discount. Hotels are reluctant to show their rock bottom prices and leave that information with the agents . 3.Don’t travel last minute. Book at least 21 day in advance. Gone are the days when hotels were slashing price at the last minute. Hotel room prices are often higher if you book last minute. Hotels now reward you for committing early. 4.Look out for one-day deals. A lot of online sites offer short term deep discounts. These flash deals last 24 to 72 hours and can save you a lot of money. But you have to act fast! 5.Check the reviews on any hotel you are thinking of booking. Make sure you are truly getting the luxury experience the hotel is promisig.
