Remember how good you felt the last time you took a vacation<\/a>? Maybe a little refreshed, perhaps rejuvenated, but most importantly, relaxed. It\u2019s funny what a few days of sleeping in late, venturing out to see new sights, and making memories can do for the soul.<\/p>\n

We often make up excuses for not taking a vacation\u2014price is a major one. The cost of a trip shouldn\u2019t keep you from going on a getaway though. That\u2019s why we have some of the best money-saving travel tips for AARP members<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have three ways that the AARP Travel Center Powered by Expedia\u00ae helps AARP members save money. Now you can focus more on exploring the world and less on making up excuses about your budget!<\/p>\n

Hotel stays<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking to save on travel? Forget about pitching a tent to afford your next vacation. AARP members earn 10 percent off select hotels. You can also combine your AARP travel benefits on other products to save even more.<\/p>\n

Choice Hotels, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Best Western, and La Quinta, all offer price cuts to AARP members (as well as their affiliate brands). This means properties like Wingate by Wyndham, Comfort Suites, and Days Inn are within your reach. Toss the tent! It\u2019s time to sleep somewhere nicer tonight.<\/p>\n

Rental cars<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You always imagined yourself cruising along the coastline in a zippy red convertible. Or maybe you\u2019ve been itching to load up the grandkids in a van or SUV for a road trip. It\u2019s time to explore! It doesn\u2019t matter if you want one for fantasy or function, a car rental is a great tool for any vacation.<\/p>\n

When it comes to tips for traveling on a budget, AARP members receive up to 30 percent off select car rentals at participating Avis, Payless, and Budget locations. Some branches even offer free class upgrades, unlimited mileage, and waived fees. Save the miles on your car, or upgrade for a few days! Why wait? The open road is calling your name.<\/p>\n

Cruises<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ready for luxury? On a cruise, delicious meals, great entertainment, and attentive staff are all at your fingertips. Your only job is to relax. Go on, snag a lounge chair by the pool and attend your favorite comedy shows.<\/p>\n

When you book at the AARP Travel Center Powered by Expedia\u00ae, you receive $300 in extra on-board credits. Carnival, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean are three of the 15 cruise lines offering adventure on the high seas. Another glass of wine? Don\u2019t mind if we do!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not an AARP member yet, don\u2019t sweat it\u2014you can sign up and join today<\/a>. AARP offers membership for only $16 per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
