At E-Z Rent-A-Car, not only are we dedicated to offering some of the most affordable rental cars in the U.S., but also tips for top discount travel and review sites—which feature great deals and information about airfare, hotel accommodations, travel packages and more—so you can start making the most of your trip.
Here are some of our top picks for the best and most affordable travel sites:
For Airfare:
- AirfareWatchdog.com – This site is ideal for travelers looking to leave at a moment’s notice when a one-of-a-kind deal presents itself. It offers special discounted rates from Southwest, United, Delta and other small airlines, so you can enjoy a great flight at an even better rate.
- Kayak.com – Perfect for flights needed up to three days before and after your preferred travel dates or for any weekends in the upcoming year, Kayak offers a variety of deals for flights across the world at affordable rates, with a special tools called the “price predictor”, which predicts whether price forecasts will go up or down.
- Routehappy.com – An upstart travel site that often offers lower prices and niche-specific options, Routehappy is the product differentiation platform for air travel. It lists out aspects of the flight experience that flyers care about most, including type of aircraft, quality of seating, entertainment and Wi-Fi options, and more—all while offering affordable, more customized experiences.
For Accommodations:
- Hotels.com – A site that works for both last-minute vacationers and advance-travel planners, Hotels.com offers big discounts, seasonal sales, destination-specific discounts and more. Plus, with the Welcome Rewards program, frequent travelers can enjoy a free night’s stay after 10 nights spent at any of the program’s 100,000 member properties.
- Jetsetter.com – A private-sale travel site designed for luxury-hotel deals, JetSetter offers 20 to 40 discount flash sales per week at up to 50% off high-end properties. The site is also fun to visit with its themed-sale formats (i.e. Mystery Mondays and Jetsetter Journeys).
- LuxuryLink.com – Offering auctions on luxury hotels with extras already included in the price, LuxuryLink offers a way for travelers to enjoy premium accommodations and upgrades often at a cheaper price than the properties’ alternative room options.
- TripAdvisor.com – Though this site doesn’t offer any actual deals or discounts, it is an ideal site for helping people get a better understanding of the hotels/resorts/etc. they might be considering while traveling. By viewing recent and past testimonials from both professional and amateur reviewers, travelers can get a better idea about what to expect from the hotels themselves, their features, their management team, and more. The site links to partner sites, such as Hotels.com and Expedia (which offer the deal and packages not offered on TripAdvisor), and flags many of the suspicious-looking postings in order to give the most accurate ratings possible.
Make your trip the best it can be with these helpful travel sites, offering great deals, discounts, testimonials and more. And, discover some of our other travel resources online, including special E-Z discounts, tips, travel-related blog posts, special coupons and more.
