When you think of travel, do you see it as something that takes a long time to plan which location to the next you will be traveling to? If so, then you have a narrow view of it. Traveling is so much more and it can be customized so that it works with you. Read on to find out how.

If you are planning on spending a large amount of money on your trip or vacation, consider investing a small amount more on travel insurance. It will insure that you are protected in the event that your trip must be canceled due to personal illness, natural disaster, or other uncontrollable events.

If you are traveling with any kind of prescription medication, including birth control pills, you need to keep them in their original containers with labels. It can also be helpful to get a letter from your doctor stating that you have a medical need for the items. This way, you cannot be accused of drug smuggling.

When renting a car take the time before you leave the parking garage to acquaint yourself with its most basic features. Make sure an instruction manual for the car model is in the glove box and take time to skim through it. It's no fun to pull into rush hour traffic just as a thunder storm hits if you don't know how to turn on the windshield wipers!

To avoid high exchange rates in foreign countries, stop at an ATM for your bank when you disembark from your flight. Large banks get much better exchange rates than an individual, so pulling money out once you get there is a hassle-free and inexpensive way to get the currency you need.

Take work with you. If you spend a small amount of time performing work tasks on your trip, be it for business or pleasure, you can then deduct the expenses of that trip on your income taxes. Check with your tax professional for details about what you can and can't do, but make sure you save those receipts.

If you really do not like packing, have a toiletry bag ready. Put all your needed bathroom items in it and just keep it prepared for travel. This way you can cut down on time spent packing.

If you need a rental car while on vacation consider renting an eco-friendly car. Zipcar and Flexcar are both "green"car-sharing programs which offer travelers low fees and convenient drop off and pick up. You will be able to reduce car emissions by renting the smallest car you can or a hybrid car.

When traveling long distances by car, you can save a lot of money by staying at campgrounds as opposed to hotels. A tent site will cost on average per night, and usually includes facilities & most likely a camp store. Camping guides can be found for free at most rest stops and travel information centers. If you are traveling long distance and are bringing your kids paddle board, try searching for an inflatable one, as they are way easier to travel with. Check out an online or local sup sale in your area to check out all the inflatable paddle board options for the whole family.
