Lets Go Travel – Cheap Travel Flights
First, you need to find the least expensive flight. We recommend to use a meta search engine. This software scans for you all the flight companies for you. It is going to give you the best price to your destination. It may not be the quickest route but as I advise in my post how to travel for free you can use any layover time to visit another city for free. Try this site, you may be surprised by the prices.
Lets Go Travel – Hotels – Accommodation
Below are my three best companies for accommodation. The first one is Booking.com which is the best website to compare accommodation around the world. Most of the hotels or rooms are payable at the property which means you can cancel and if you aren’t too close to the date you lose nothing. It saved me a lot of money when my flight to San Francisco was cancelled. The second is the best site if you love pets. Trusted Housesitters is a website where you can have FREE accommodation in exchange of taking care of a pet. You can read my article about how to travel for free for more information about house-sitting. The last one is Belvilla. This site is for travellers who want to have the freedom of being in a luxurious villa. These villas are ideal for families and you can cook, relax after a day trip.
Maybe you want the best deal on the web, or you plan your holidays at the last minute. For the best hotels availability at the best price, you need to check Late Rooms website. Late Rooms is going to find you a great deal. You have nothing to lose by trying, so click on the box below.

Lets Go Travel – Car Rental
If you need to rent a car for your trip, I advise you to stay with well known rental companies, especially in Mexico where there are plenty of scams. If you travel in Europe, the best one is Europcar. I have used them many times and have never had any complaints.
