Depending on where you're planing to go, your travel expenses can take up the largest chunk of your vacation budget. Here is a list of ways you can save money on your vacation transportation expenses:

-Be Flexible Regarding Your Travel Dates
Prices for airline tickets can vary greatly depending on the day of week. Use an online ticketing service that lets you compare different travel dates
-Drive to a Different Airport
Consider whether driving to a less-convenient airport might save you enough money on the purchase of the tickets to be worth the added gasoline expense and potential inconvenience.
-Drive Instead
Keep in mind, too, that driving can significantly cut your vacation transportation costs. Don't be intimidated, either, by the idea of entertaining your kids while you drive. You just might find that those hours you share in the car together are some of the best memories of all
-Rent a Car Only if Needed
If you do decide to fly, consider whether you really need a rental car. Many hotels offer free airport shuttles and even provide daily shuttles to and from nearby attractions; so you may find that you either don't need a rental car at all, or you only need one on certain days. This can also help you save a significant amount of money on your vacation transportation costs.
