Clark's Italy Car Rental Win
- Clark saved over $200 by reshopping his car rental just before his trip to Italy.
- He got an unexpected free upgrade to an Audi, which turned out to be the best rental car experience he's had.
Book European Hotels Direct
- In Europe, book hotels directly with small, family-owned places to save about 20-25% compared to third-party sites.
- Always use reputable third-party sites for bigger hotels but try direct booking for smaller ones for better deals.
Best Time To Travel Europe
- Summer travel to Europe is cheaper from mid-August onward, often 30-50% less costly than June to mid-August.
- If possible, schedule trips toward late summer to get better airfare and hotel deals.
