00:00A road trip used to be a cost-effective way to go on vacation. With gas prices and rental car prices going up, it may not be as affordable as it used to be. Consider driving through states where gas isn't as expensive. Some of these states are Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, and South Carolina, according to NerdWallet.
00:26You also have to shop around when it comes to renting a car. The price can vary depending on the company, how far in advance you book, and whether you get it from the airport or not.
00:37This may even be the year you rent an electric vehicle, because it may cost just as much as renting a gas-powered car plus the cost of gas. Alternative car rental companies like Turo and Getaround are also great options.
00:53Apps like GasBuddy can help you find the cheapest gas around. CNN recommends using credit cards to fill up the tank. Some cards give up to 5% cash back when you purchase gas.
