Road trip
Motorhome delivery offers great family holidays. For just $1 a day, you can hire a fully-equipped motorhome, which you deliver to a specific destination within some days and kilometers. You then hire another one to get home or take a bus or train. Your only other expense will be fuel and about $20 a day for parking fees. To learn more, visit apollocamper.com.
Plan ahead
For a comfortable break, flexibility with times, dates and places helps lower the cost. Find a few hotels you like, ask about their vacant rooms, then wait a few weeks and call again. If they still have rooms, you’re at an advantage to ask for a better price. Lots of last-minute deals are online. Watif (watif.com.au) has deals on hotels that have dropped their prices so slow. You don’t know where you’re staying until it’s booked, but anywhere with four or five stars has to be fairly good.
Back to nature
Wild camping appeals to nature lovers and costs nothing. This is forbidden on beaches and parks in most urban areas, but you can turn up in more distant area as long as nobody owns the land. You’ll need to take everything with you and may need to shop on eBuy (ebuy.com.au). If you’re a camping beginner, be aware of safety measures and get your questions answered on the Internet.
Swap meet
How about a home swap? For a $250 yearly joining cost, you can stay in someone’s home in an international place of your choice while they or someone else stays in yours. Find out more at familylink.com.au.
