Pay Phones and Credit Cards
- Don't use foreign pay phones that only take credit cards. I was charged $400 for a 40-minute call home from Italy!

Really?
- When in a foreign country and you are in doubt about the quality of water available at your hotel; before rushing to spend your money on mineral water, ask the waiter, bartender, or receptionist if they feel comfortable drinking the local coffee or cola. If the answer is 'yes', have no fear drinking the same 'source'.

Rent a Car Through a European-Based Broker and Save.
- Car rental in Europe is relatively expensive. However, using a European-based broker can save you quite a bit! US-based brokers charge more for rentals in Europe, the way European brokers charge more for rentals in the USA. It's just a matter of target audience. It's a weird world - but that's the way the suppliers (e.g. Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Dollar, etc.) have set it up. Local rates differ from international rates as well. A Frenchman will be charged more for a domestic rental then a foreigner.

Sample Local Foods
- While traveling to foreign countries, make sure you try the local foods - and please do not compare everything to home (prices, quality etc.) because you are not home. While some foods and beverages may seem odd, try them and appreciate them. Avoid McDonald`s, Burger King etc. Sample local fares at local cafes and be friendly and courteous.

Save Money
- Hotels in many countries often assess high charges for providing access to your long-distance provider. Save money by making shorter calls direct or using prepaid phone cards from local providers to call from pay phones.
