Playing catch-up on your finances this time of year is not the most enjoyable experience. After blowing out for the holidays, most people want to just rest and recoup their losses. But life does not wait for the wallets of the weary to recover. Travel, in particular, remains an expense that we will always have to deal with. iLIKEBUS has a few tips and tricks to save on your coming travel expenses to help ease your bank account back into a healthy state.
Flash Sales
Perhaps the easiest way to save some cash is to go directly to the biggest sales. And what sale in the industry is bigger than an iLIKEBUS flash sale? At select times through the year, ticket prices are cut drastically! What was once a $60 ticket now costs $5, making travel a thoroughly more palatable investment. But these sales don’t last! Only five tickets per line are available during any one day during the flash sale, so you will have to be quick to get those tickets unless you’re willing to wait until the next day. And flash sales only last one week! Be ahead of the game and snatch up those tickets before someone else does. But if you miss out, never fret; flash sales are held multiple times throughout the year, so your next chance is never too far away!
Dynamic Prices
Much like the earliest bird gets its pick of all the tastiest worms, the earlier you book your ticket on iLIKEBUS.com, the better your chances are at the tastiest prices on bus tickets! Many of our lines have dynamic pricing. What this means for you is that the earlier you buy the ticket, the better chance you have at getting discounts. The first tickets for any given line sold are the cheapest, then as they go on, they get more expensive, making buying early a much more fiscal option. Buy early, be happy. (Note: not all bus lines offer dynamic pricing. We denote this difference on our site.)
