This Is How You Get A Discount On Your Hotel Room Without Complaining

If you're a person who travels a lot, then you're always searching for discounts in an attempt to save as much money as possible. There are several ways you can do this.

However, before you read on, you should know there's no surefire way to receive a discount. The most appreciated value of a customer is his or her courtesy and manners, which go a long way when it comes to getting better service or discounts.

Here are some things you can do to try to receive a discount:

1. Call the hotel.

Taking the time out to call the hotel can result in better service. You can then compare the prices you've found online with the prices the hotel staff will tell you. The staff might even grant you free access to WiFi, a late checkout or breakfast. You'll be able to pay on the spot as well, instead of paying in advance.

2. Find hotels that aren't usually listed on Internet search pages.

Smaller hotels can't afford to pay for search site commissions, so they are inclined to offer discounts. Try your best to search for smaller hotels. Then, either call them directly or visit them. Chances are, they will offer you a discount because you chose to stay with them instead of a bigger, better known hotel.

3. Keep track of discounts.

You can keep checking some websites that list hotels about potential discounts. A great website you can check out is Travel Ticker. It searches online bookings and costs. It might also find you a discount.

4. Don't make reservations.

If you want to avoid higher costs due to reservations, be sure you don't make them. Unless you're traveling during tourist season, you will most likely find empty rooms.All you need is to show up at a hotel, ask if there are any empty rooms and ask for the price. Chances are, you will also be able to get flexible checkout timings. This way, you can avoid the costs of reservations, and get to see for yourself what you're paying for.

5. Buy packages.

Do you need to pay for a hotel room booking, airfare and car rental? Your best bet to spend as little money as possible is paying for all of them at once. You'd be paying for a package in this case, and it's almost always cheaper than paying for everything independently.

6. Show gratitude and be nice to the staff.

This is probably the most important tip here. While you might not always get a discount by being friendly to the staff, you will always get something in return.

The staff knows every single part of the hotel and what's done there. So, if you're nice to them, they'll be willing to let you in on some information. But of course, you should always be nice and expect nothing in return.

While one single tip from this list probably won't bring you huge discounts, making use of all of them combined could. The more things you use to your advantage, the less money you'll pay. You just need to be smart about it.

Also, make sure you ask the staff what's free with your booking and what you need to pay extra for. You don't want to end up paying more than you expected. The more information you hold, the easier it will be for you to make the correct decision.
