Travel duds for 1999: don't fall into the traps
Article Abstract:
Planning a cost-effective vacation requires awareness of the financial pitfalls that can ruin a trip. One of the leading consumer frauds is a travel certificate that promises a great airline or hotel deal but is worth little. Travelers do not need car-rental company insurance because they are protected by their own auto insurance. Trip cancellation insurance, also, can be overpriced and should be used only for expensive trips. Using pricey designer luggage is only an invitation to thieves, when less-expensive luggage is more practical.
