Two ways to save money as you plan summer vacation
By Clark Howard
Here we are on the eve of the unofficial kickoff of summer this Memorial Day weekend and I've got a couple of ways for you to save money on summer travel.
I've talked in the past about sites like VRBO.com, HomeAway.com and Airbnb.com as a way to get a deal if you're looking for a rental. With site likes these, you get to rent a private home or a room in a home directly from the owner rather than renting a hotel room. This can also be a great way to supplement your income when you're the owner of the property.
Now comes word that Airbnb.com is offering $1 million in insurance coverage if you make your home, vacation home or a single room available for rent to travelers. That should go a long way to addressing concerns about what happens if you rent your home and the renter damages it.
