By Susan Wong, Mon Dec 26th

Why not take the initiative and find your own ways to cheaptravel by making your own discount? As you know, hotel andrental car owners don't just offer you discounts at random.Usually, they offer discounts during off-peak seasons. As asavvy traveller, do you know that you can take the initiativeand create your own travel discounts easily? Below are somequick and easy methods for doing so:

- If you're planning to stay for more than a week, call thehotel that you'd want to stay in and ask for week long staydiscounts, these can range for percentages off your room priceor even a "free day."

- Check detour flights other than the straight one you're boundto get when you inquire. You can get cheaper overall prices ifyou choose to book two flights instead of one. Some people havebeen able to save as much as $2000 by doing this.

- Find web-only discounts or which some hotels andairline owners provide especially for those willing to reserveonline. You can save as much as 50% on your travel costs bygoing this way.

- It is always better to buy food at the grocery and cook ityourself rather than eating everyday at a restaurant.
