It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show. You know our mission is to serve you with advice and information that empowers you so you make better financial decisions in your life.

And one way we empower you is through our team Clark Consumer Action Center,

where you can get one-on-one free advice about a problem, a question, whatever,

about your wallet. You can find out how to do that at Clark.com slash CAC. Today I'm going to begin with two creative ways to save money that are really crazy, okay? They both involve travel in a sense and later speaking of travel,

I want to make sure that you are using all your vacation, use it or lose it before the end of the year. Okay, so every

fall and late every spring there's an opportunity that's heavily to Florida in the fall, out of Florida in the spring, to Arizona in the fall from Arizona in the spring that car rental companies will allow you to

rent a car, keep it depending on the car rental company seven days to 14 either it's a max seven days or max 14 where

you relocate a car for them for the peak season in Florida and Arizona.

When it gets cold elsewhere in the United States,

people flock to Florida and Arizona and the car rental companies need to reposition their rental fleets and then when we come out

Usually around late April they reverse it and they have a migration of vehicles back.

How much they charge you for a rental?

Most often around $10 a day for a rental car.

It's a deal.

So if your schedule is flexible

and these deals will start appearing

later in October for booking.

You'll be able to book a car rental

to drive from wherever you are to Florida or to Arizona.

The prices in the particulars differ per car rental company, and

we'll publish these in Clark deals, win these posts, and then you have that car to use while you're in Florida or Arizona

vacationing and then what's so great is today airfare is domestic or one way.
