Travel Booking Tools
You’ve Planned It. Now Book It!
This is when it gets real. After you’ve done all the research and planned out a great itinerary for your trip, it’s time to start making some bookings! From booking flights, rental cars, hotels and activities – we’ve included links and resources below to the same tools that we use when booking our trips.
🛏 Every trip is different. And every hotel gives a different experience.
We use a combination of different types of accommodation when we travel. Because it really depends on the trip and what we want to get out of it. If it’s more of a relaxing getaway, then we might pay more for a nicer hotel with amenities. Other times, our itinerary is so busy that we just want a budget place to sleep. And sometimes, staying at a resort can actually be the vacation itself.

🚗 Explore on Your Own.
Having a rental car during your vacation really makes sense if you want to have the freedom to explore on your own. And it’s not just for trips around your home country. We’ve rented cars in Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Germany, New Zealand…and even Thailand! Having your own car can allow you a lot more flexibility and fun. Check out our rental car booking partners for deals and availability.
🚠 Experiences Make the Trip.
From something as simple as a great walking tour or museum tickets to something exciting like a boat excursion or zip lining! At the end of the day, it’s really the experiences you have and the fun things that you do on a vacation that create some of the best memories!

✈️ Leave on a Jet Plane. Find your adventure.
Finding just the right flights for a trip can be one of the most important things that you do. We find the best flights by searching on different platforms, changing dates, and even changing departure & arrival airports. For example, when we fly to Europe we might fly into Paris because the flight is cheap and then take another internal flight (or even a train) to somewhere else, like Switzerland!
You can also fly “open-jaw” which means into one city and home from another. Or maybe even one way flights could be cheaper (although rarely). The key is being creative. For more details, check out our Ultimate Guide to Plan a Trip for all our tips and resources!
