How to Travel the USA on a Budget

How to Travel the USA on a Budget

Travelling America can be expensive but it doesn't have to be, there are lots of ways to cut your costs. At Imoova we are all about making travel accessible and sharing tips so everyone can experience the freedom of travel.

RV Relocations

Our most obvious tip is RV relocations! At Imoova we work closely with trusted American rental companies such as El Monte, Indie Campers, and Road Bear to relocate their RV fleet whilst also providing customers with the opportunity to travel in a luxury RV for only $1 per day. By relocating RV's you are helping out the rental company whilst saving yourself $1000's compared to renting the same RV so it's a win-win for everyone involved. You can even get some gas costs reimbursed, saving even more $$$! Being in an RV is great for saving money because you're combining accomodation and transport costs into one. You can park up for the night for free in certain national parks, as well as grocery store parking lots.

Save on Flights

If you're flying domestically within the USA then use third party sites like Skyscanner to find the cheapest fares. Also, consider flying into smaller, more regional airports eg Long Island Airport instead of JFK or Hollywood Burbank instead of LAX. Also be sure to make the most of frequent flier points.

Accomodation Costs

When booking accommodation whether it's hotels or motels check on websites like Booking.com or Agoda who often offer competitive discounts vs booking directly. The more you book, the more discounts you'll get. Consider staying in hostels to save some money, private rooms can be a great way to save whilst also still having privacy and your own space.

Food

Be savvy when buying groceries, stick to cheaper stores like Aldi and Trader Joes. If you're eating out, consider street food and diners. If you're travelling in an RV cooking your own meals will be far more economical and healthy.
