We all want to get the most value for our money, especially when we travel. You might save up for months or even years to experience your dream vacation so you don’t want to waste a single dime of it. One of the best budget-friendly tips for travelers is that a little distance can help you save a lot of money–it’s even true for our cruise parking in Miami. Here are a few examples of how this might work for your next vacation:

  • Stay in hotels outside of the city center. Sure, you may have to walk a little further or learn the local bus system, but you can save hundreds per night on a hotel room when you simply move out of the middle of a city.
  • Don’t eat in high-tourist areas. Want to find a good deal on food? Walk five minutes away from the tourist destination you came to see. You’ll find yourself off the beaten path where prices are lower and the food is probably better because it’s catering to the local population. You’ll get a more authentic experience, too.
  • Shop the side streets. Moving off the main street and exploring side streets will not only help you find unique items to take home, you’ll get a better deal. These shop owners aren’t covering the overhead of a high visibility shop, either.

This works for your cruise parking in Miami, too. Safe Cruise Parking offers better rates than the Port of Miami and we’re only a 1/2 mile away. We’ll have you to your cruise ship in just five minutes on our free round-trip shuttle service. Moving just a little ways away will help you save on your parking–and that’s money you can spend on your vacation!
