Airfare For Flights Will Increase 22% This Summer
According to Bing Travel, they estimate that that airfare will increase by 22% this summer. The average domestic flight will cost around $303 per ticket, so that’s $1,200 just for a family of four! If this estimation is true and with many families still recovering from lost jobs and reduced salaries, more families will be traveling on the road this summer. But, if you still choose to fly this summer, here are some quick tips to help you save on airfare.
Have you considered renting a car for your road trip?
Some families have older cars that they don’t trust to take on the open road or they may not have a larger SUV or van to transport their big family all at once to a summer vacation spot. Renting a car for a few days can help you have peace of mind, keep your family safe, and possibly help you save on gas mileage if you choose a car that’s more fuel efficient than the car you own. You can choose a discount rental car from one of our corporate or affiliate locations around the world.
Finding the Cheapest Gas on Your Road Trip
If airfare is just too expensive this summer, and you choose a road trip, some gas stations have significantly lower gas and the location of the gas station often matters, because city and county taxes differ. Also, if you’re traveling between states, you may want to check if the other state has cheaper gas. GasBuddy.com is a great website (and there’s an iPhone and Android App) that you can use to find the cheapest gas in your area or along the way on your trip.
So, will the increase in airfare this summer cause you to take it to the road? Would renting a car be a good option for you?

The Best Ski Resorts Near Denver, Colorado
Ski season is here, and it’s no surprise that Colorado has the best skiing in North America. World class resorts and great mountains make Colorado the place to be for skiing. Our discount rental car location at the Denver International Airport is a perfect way to get to your ski resort in Colorado. Are you still deciding on what resort to go to? Here is a short list of the best ski resorts closest to the Denver Airport.
1. Breckenridge Ski Resort
website: www.breckenridge.com
Whether you’re looking forward to a day off the slopes or searching for a little alternative adventure, Breckenridge has as much to offer off the mountain as it does on any of its 155 trails. As the largest historic district in Colorado, the town of Breckenridge features a wide variety of shops, activities, culture and attractions to entertain. Learn more about Breckenridge’s History or check out our list of 101 things to do in Breckenridge.
I’ve personally had friends that have stayed at Breckenridge and they loved it. This resort is only 104 miles away from the airport, so it’ll only take you about 2 hours to get there.
2. Winter Park Ski Resort
website: http://www.skiwinterpark.com/index.htm
The mountain opened for the 1939–1940 season as Winter Park Ski Area and was owned and operated by the city and county of Denver until 2002, when Denver entered into a partnership with Intrawest ULC, a Canadian corporation headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, which has operated the resort since then. For nearly 70 years a popular way for Denver residents — many of whom have learned to ski or snowboard at Winter Park over the years — to get there was via the Ski Train, which arrived at the resort’s base area though the Moffatt Tunnel. (The Ski Train was terminated by the railroad in spring 2009). It is home to one of the world’s largest and oldest disabled skiing programs, the National Sports Center for the Disabled. courtesy of Wikipedia.
This resort is one of the largest in Colorado, and it’s also the closest to Denver International Airport. It’s only about 45 minutes away!
3. The Sol Vista Basin
website: http://www.granbyranch.com/ski/solvistabasin.asp
The Sol Vista Basin is a new ski mountain, which is part of the Granby Ranch Resort. Not only does the property have skiing, but when weather permits, you can go fishing, golfing, and bike riding. This resort is only about 1.5 hours away from Denver International Airport, so getting there in your cheap rental car won’t be tough at all!
