10 Travel Hacks I Use To Save Money 

I think George is the future of the Ramsey brand. Allocating resources to repackaging the Ramsey teachings into something more engaging and visually impressive will give Ramsey a broader audience and at the end of the day enable more people to achieve financial freedom. Appreciate this new endeavor George, keep it going!

Hmmmmm. Sorry George you Need to redo this video with Rachel Cruze! Because moms know all the hacks. 1. Pack granola bars ( do NOT pay for airport granola bars). 2. Pack lots of snacks 3. Eat free food at the hotel if available 4. Google the rules of the places you are going to (If you can take your own PBJ inside Disney do it, this will save you $200 in food expenses) 5. If you are staying at a place with a washer and dryer you can save money on luggage by packing a small ziplock bag of laundry detergent. 6. If you are renting a house you can cook some of your own food at the place you are visiting to save on restaurant fees. 7. Make a packing list. A lot of my expenses throughout the years have been having to buy more sunscreen, deodorant, swimsuits because somebody forgot theirs from last year didn't fit. And sometimes we are in places where those things are expensive.

Read the fine print in the discount airlines bag policy. Frontier Airlines will hit you with a $99 charge at the gate if your carry on item is larger than the dimensions that they allow. And the gate agents get $10 of that so they're always looking for people with bags that won't fit their dimensions. and there's not much you can do at that point because you don't want to miss your flight. It happened to me once with a briefcase that I've carried on countless flights before which easily fits under the seat in front of me.

I skip on the rental car expense anytime I can choose a hotel with free shuttle service to and from the airport. Then I plan all my adventures to be walking distance from the hotel. I walk a lot anyway.

Hostels in Europe are at least 1/4 cheaper than hotels. Plus you get to meet more people.

I would never rent out my personal car to strangers. Most people have car payments. If they wreck your car it’s a hassle. Also if you don’t tell your insurance company you renting out your car as a side hustle they might not cover or r reimburse your claim. They normally don’t like you using your car for business without paying extra premium. DONT DO IT

Shoulder season sounds like the time just outside of the busy summer season, before and after. Shoulder (April-May) Body (June-August) Shoulder (September-October)

Your employer may have travel discount codes as a employee benefit but HR is terrible at telling people about them. Check with your HR department and if they have one it can save big bucks. Mine for example knocked about $500 off our most recent vacation week long car rental. Also Skiplagged is another great one for flights.

Shoulder is like a synonym for edge, edge of summer or winter

we need part two of this!!!

Don’t tell everyone about TSA PreCheck lol 😂then the lines will be crazy 😢

I love the packing cubes, game changer for packing. Yessss, on the hotel coffee makers. We stayed in one and the coffee maker was in the bathroom. Needless to say, we didn't use the coffee maker.

When you search you definitely have to clear your cookies or search in incognito mode so its not tracked. Also, southwest if you search for 1 ticket versus multiple, more often than not, the individual one is cheaper. Also keep checking rates because if they go down within 24 hours you get cash. If more than 24 hours you get travel credit.

I do birthday freebies, too.. I prioritize the ones that can only be used on my birthday. The rest, I prioritize by expiration. No way I could eat all that in one day. I love the ones that give you a year, even a month.

Every wonder why CC companies reward you with flyer miles? Because people tend to spend 20-30% more when on vacation or on business travel

Great job George Kamel with a K. You and your team are knocking these videos out of the park!!! Love the topics, the format, and the message. Y'all keep it up- I'm sharing your videos with folks all the time!

Quality travel packing cubes at discounted cost at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Burlington and Ross or clearance centers.

Definitely trying these next time. Thanks for sharing these awesome money-saving tips!

Can you share momma Kamel’s hummus recipe? 😊

@4:57, that is simply a byproduct of the "rightyness" of humans. We tend to write with our right hands, drive on the right side of the road, the dominant eye tends to be on the right, etc

Excellent content and editing magic! You’re pretty funny George! 😊

Watch out with turo it’s very state to state if your car insurance covers a turo since it’s not classified as a rental rather a vehicle sharing program.

Wishbone!!! ❤️👏🤣

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make Mistake but they don’t quit... As the economic crisis keep rising, we literally need to have different streams of income. The crypto and stock market has plenty opportunities to earn a decent Payouts with the right skills and proper Understanding of how the market works.

WOW! This guy is so funny! I loved this video, and he has a cool studio too.

$500 southwest gifcard at costco for $450, even seen on sale for $430.

Thanks for the tips! My personal favorite for flights is to take my anker charger block ,fully charged. So if my phone battery runs out I have a charge with me

The Security check thing is so true. My wife and I went to the right in BWI, and we were in line for 30 minutes with basically no one in line.

George Dropping the real news today!

I am really loving all your videos George. Keep em coming

"Shoulder season" because of you look at a bell curve, there is a "peak" travel season spring/summer, and then 2 "shoulders" on either side of the peak

This came at a perfect time since I’m traveling tomorrow 😄

Love your advice and delivery George!

I absolutely LOVE this! 🎉🎉🎉😊

Shoulderseasons are called shoulders seasons due to the fact that not a complete country has vacation. In the Netherlands the country is divided into 3 regions (Upper, middle and lower). Each region has the same amount vacation time but schools vacations start depending on the region. In high season all regions have vacation while in the shoulderseason only 1 region already or still has vacation. I don't know if other countries do the same but this is how the Netherlands does it.

Why are you not posting Amazon referral links for the products mentioned?

I love to travel so this hits home for me. Thanks for the tips George!

I miss wishbone!

I’ll come back to these when hubs and I finally get a flight getaway without the kiddos….might be 20 years 😂 jk. In all serious, we usually drive. So much beauty to see on the way too! But sometimes a flight would be needed.

Thank you for the information Georgey. I put in my notes. Big help

NGL, that Wishbone clip just unlocked some core memories.

George's favorite 2 words: Delta skymiles 😂

Great job and excellent tips!

I save huge by going to Delaware instead of Fiji where my wife wants to go.

I'm not sure I understand your aversion to credit cards. I pay mine off every month, so I don't have to pay any interest or fees, but I get 6% back on groceries, 3% back on gas and travel, 2% back on eating out, and 1% back on everything else. That's hundreds of dollars in my pocket every year. And you can set up your payments to be automatically linked to your checking account, so you don't forget. Of course, you have to budget for all your purchases, but that goes without saying.

Disappointed the Friday song wasn’t played…🎶🎶 😛

“This is a case for Wishbone.” 😂

That Costco car rental idea. I saved 150$ at the last minute by rebooking my Enterprise Car Rental through Costco

Be very careful using third party sites to book airline tickets. If you’re determined to book with them, always read the fine print and know what you’re getting. Often if you’ve booked on these sites and any of your flights go sideways, you have little to no protection for necessary re-bookings, etc. And we all know how bad weather or a short mechanical delay can throw a big ol’ monkey wrench into a day of traveling. As someone who works in aviation, I can say that the best way to book is directly thru the official site of the airline you want to travel on. You’re spending a little more now for the peace of mind that comes from knowing a delay isn’t going to be a big headache for you-and likely a bigger expense also.

Bro I lost it at gargoyle toes 🤣🤣🤣

My travel tip to save money is dont travel.... 😏 Kidding

Drop off your clothes at a laundromat before your flight home. This way, when you pack, all your clothes will be neatly folded and clean, saving you the hassle of doing laundry once you get home. An added bonus is you won't have to travel with a suitcase full of dirty and smelly clothes.

Advice straight out of the 1970s.

Good tips! One I would add, is to use a Chase credit card that has access to the Chase Travel Portal. Huge value can come from this portal!

Irony- the pre-check line is way longer

Early 😎

At least he doesn’t think he’s doing society a service by using "credit card points" when it’s really just the accrued interest from a 28% card from some single mother with 3 kids. People can be so dense. Good on you, mate. 🙏🏾

My wife and kids said me staying home while they go to Rome will save money. I hope they have fun...I guess.

I use credit card points, to travel everywhere for free. I never carry a balance.

I like traveling with credit card points.😂 Some travel credit cards come with TSA/Global entry credit.

How do you bypass the the hotels asking for a credit card for incidentals and you have only a debit card?

0:14 My birthday is March 12, 1986. Please put this on your calendar and attend my party.

Happy Wife, Happy Life.. unless there's a free checked bag. Hey, fifty bucks is fifty bucks..

Standup is not yours, anyway bye and deep down

Travel free using credit card points. 👍

GK does not travel much, hence the not so good hacks. Turo??? Most unreliable enterprise. If the person does not show up, you are out of luck with your debit card trying to rent a car in the last minute (your family is tired after a long trip; kids are screaming and you have no car !!!!) Please advise which car rental companies you recommended that accept a debit card. (Dollar was a DR advertiser, now their debit card policy is outrageous)

This is just a commercial. Come on George. You’re better than this.

You’re a lot better on your own show, like a thousand times better. Took me a while to like your content

Tsa rechecks new slogan: Pay us. And we might not molest you. Maybe. I do precheck because I always get searched 😂😂😂😂. And my credit card gives me it for free. How I save money traveling? I prefer to drive than fly. If it's a wash I fly. I prefer to camp instead of hotels. You often can find places to shower. Truck stops. The camp ground may have one. Etc. And I prefer airbnb for longer trips as it tends to be cheaper. Also.. if my trips goals means I'm more likely to not be at my rental. I go with the cheapest place that isn't a roach motel. If I expect to be in my rental a fair amount. I will spend more on comfort. I prefer to book any flights several months ahead. I prefer to cook my own food and not dine out. I rarely buy souvenirs. And if I didn't drive... I prefer mass transit or low tech travel. Most importantly. Buy experiences not things. I prefer unique experiences. That amazing waterfall in whatever island?the one that costs $50 to go to. Skip it. You can download a picture of it in 5 seconds. Probably find a first person walk up video. And 900 billion people are there. Instead.. ask a local. They'll tell you about that other waterfall nobody goes to that's about as good if not better. You'll have an amazing time. A unique adventure few people have done. And it'll be less if not free. One of my absolute best memories is this total random hike in Hawaii. I saw 4 people on the trail. Great hike. Great views.

My ultimate travel hack gets me free vacations and extra travel perks every year from my normal, everyday spending, but the Ramsey Solutions Team refuses to admit that it exists.
