For individuals that have a habit of procrastination is almost impossible to travel. Not only do they always put-off the most basic things such as packing, booking is almost always a problem too. In the end, they’ll have to pay more or deal with a bad seat on the plane or a bad accommodation.
What if all these can be avoided? That’s right, there are some last-minute travel hacks for procrastinators. You are about to find out some of them.
Outlined below are the best websites and apps that’ll make it easy to plan your trip without breaking the bank. Let’s jump right in.

HomeAway

Not everyone wants a hotel accommodation. There are individuals that prefer the privacy of a rental apartment or home when on the road. The HomeAway app is designed for such folks. All you have to do is input your date and destination to see what’s available.
For last-minute lodging, simply use the filter option on the app to see the accommodations that offer an instant book. Skip the process of writing back and forth with property owners and book your accommodation with a few taps.
Hopper
Hopper is the ideal app to use when you know where you’re going, but you’re not sure when you should travel. The app features a calendar which enables travelers to know which travel dates offer the cheapest and priciest fare.
Even if you’re not ready to buy a ticket, Hopper has a “Watch this Trip” feature which notifies you when there is a drop in the price of the fare.

Skyscanner

You are suddenly free to for a weekend getaway, but you have no destination in mind. Don’t rack your brain trying to come up with one, let Skyscanner do it for you. All you need to do is input the word “Everywhere”, including your travel date into the departure box.
You’ll receive an instant feedback that’ll inspire you. It includes destinations and ticket costs at that time of the month. In addition to this, you’ll know how to get the best fares.
HotelTonight
This hotel booking app is designed to cater for spontaneous travelers. It enables you book hotel after you have landed at your destination. Yes, at the very last minute. Not only does this app feature cut-rate deals from hotels around the world, you’ll also have the option of upgrading to suites at a cheaper rate.
With HotelTomight, you can reserve a room for the night only, or seven nights into the future.

Fareness

Are you interested in finding the best airfare every time you travel? Consider using Fareness. Start by inputting your home airport on the desktop website or mobile site, and the lowest fares on flights will be displayed.
Furthermore, Fareness provides other information such as where, when, and how long you should stay. You’ll also have a range of timing options to pick from. For example — Weekends Only.

On a Final Note

The first thing you’ll need when you arrive at your destination is transport. If New Jersey is your destination, consider our New Jersey car service. We have a fleet of vehicles for you to pick from. Ranging from party uses to executive vehicles, we have what you need. Start by booking our New Jersey airport shuttle and have our chauffeur pick you up and transport in comfort and style to your destination.
