  • Cash Discounts

  • - Ask for a cash price when settling a bill or getting a quote. Small operators have to incur excessive credit card service charges, bank deposit charges, and bank withdrawal charges, to say nothing of the paperwork and the possibility of bogus cards or cheques. Many operators will extend an automatic 5% or more discount.

  • Caution re Travellers' Cheques

  • - Be cautious about buying travellers' cheques, as the issuers are increasingly refusing refunds for 'lost or stolen' checks.

  • Cell Phones Do Not Work Overseas

  • - If you are heading to a place and have not planned for your communication needs you might want to think about it well before you travel. US cell phones do not work overseas, and many remote areas may need a handheld satellite phone like GlobalStar. I suggest you check InTouch Global http://intouchglobal.com. They have helped us a lot!

  • Check the Internet First

  • - Before leaving on a trip, check the internet for accommodations. The internet often provides area information, weather conditions, and pictures of the place that you are seeking information about.

  • Check with the Better Business Bureau

  • - Avoid a hassle and surprises. Check with the local Better Business Bureau first, to see if the establishment at which you want to make reservations has had any problems with clients in the past.
