Last Minute Hotel
You’re either reading this because you’ve just booked yourself a last minute flight to Bermuda and then, after you finished your happy dance, realized you’d also need a place to stay… Or your original hotel booking fell through and you’re scrambling so you don’t have to cancel your trip… Or you’re just looking for someplace close enough where you can drive or take the train to get there, but you’ll still need a bed to sleep in. Whatever your situation - whether it’s one of those or some variation on those themes - we can help you find your last minute hotel.
Let’s say you haven’t yet booked your last minute airfare or any other travel necessity for your trip. If you’ve got more than just a last minute hotel to book, there’s a good chance you’ll find money-saving package deals by booking several items (airfare, hotel, car rental, etc.) together. Bundling these things helps you (you get everything booked in one fell swoop) and it helps the suppliers (they keep a hotel room, an airplane seat or a car from going unused), so it’s no wonder booking things together can be such a money-saver.
If you don’t need a flight or a car rental, however, don’t fret - you can still save money on last minute hotels. The best way to do this is to be flexible in your travel plans - by traveling in an off-peak season or during the slow part of the week you’re much more likely to find lower prices and better last minute deals. For instance, destinations which are more popular with leisure travelers will have better deals available mid-week, while destinations which are flooded with business travelers will have better deals on the weekends. If you’re flexible about when you can go - not to mention where you can go! - you stand to save money.
Another way to save money is by gambling a bit with sites like Priceline and Hotwire. By doing your research beforehand about what the asking price is for hotel rooms in a given city on a given date, you can minimize your risk and maximize your savings potential at those sites. Just remember that once you’ve put in your credit card information, you’re stuck with whatever comes out, so don’t plan to finalize that deal until you’ve done your research.
