How can i keep my affordable road trip…affordable?!?
We’ll admit that there are many factors which can determine how much you’ll be spending on your fall adventures, but we’ve created a list of a few ways you can stretch your budget. They include:
-Be realistic about your costs. As with any trip, there will be some costs you can control and others that you can’t foresee. So, do your best to budget for managed expenses like meals, gas, admission, and hotel rates.
-We recommend staying longer at each affordable road trip destination rather than jumping from place to place to ensure you get the best lodging fees.
-Travel during the shoulder seasons. Even if you’re restricted on the times when you can travel, you can visit a summer hotspot during winter or find a long weekend to enjoy a quick getaway to a more expensive location.-You should consider destinations closer to home to reduce fuel expenditures and maximize your vacation time.
If you’ve ever been to any of these locations, be sure to share your thoughts with our readers in the comments section below. And if not, which of these affordable road trips will you go on first?

This information is interesting if you live on the East Coast! The only place close to the PNW is Old Sacramento and we used to live about 40 minutes from there. Granted it is a great place to visit along with the Capital building. But a bit of a drive from here to there. Thank you for the information = maybe next time you can include some places closer to the PNW – there are lots of nice areas in Idaho!!
I live on the east coast, and I can say with confidence that the 2 places in Texas and 1 in California are nowhere near anywhere on the east coast. Being a list of just 7 places, we shouldn’t expect much near each of us. Or look up low-cost destinations near the PNW.
Lovely picture of a row of houses along a log fence side road – Where is that? No ID for it given. None of these places are anywhere near the ‘fly over’ country. The forgotten middle America!
Hi Sherry. The picture you’re referring to is the Georgetown neighborhood in Washington. And as far as the second part of your comment, don’t worry! Middle America happens to be one of OUR favorite places to travel. We even dedicated an entire article to the Midwest! Check it out here: 4 Best Midwest Road Trips in the US
