Eight Sections of great travel information

Because there are so many hotels/motels along I-75, their overnight prices tend to be lower than those on the other routes to & from Florida ... but lodging still remains one of the biggest expenses you will incur in your travels. There are ways to beat them and keep them much lower for quality accommodations.

In this section, we explain and recommend some interesting altenatives to the usual I-75 hotel/motel room ... bed & breakfast, state park lodgings and wilderness cabins are just some of the alternatives covered.

But if you are planning to stay at a hotel/motel, we show you some of the "tricks of the trade" the lodging industry do NOT want you to know. These will help you negotiate at a motel's front counter and get the best rate for your room.

If you don't know about "RevPar," "Yield management," the secret "under the counter" rates, the expected occupancy rate for an I-75 motel and how to judge the occupancy of the motel you have chosen . . . you probably are NOT getting the best benefit from your Lodging dollars.

A handy chart of hotel/motel toll free 1-800 phone numbers is also found in this section ... but we also tell you why you shouldn't use them!

Section 4 also includes some sound advice about traveling with pets. Don't forget that every single I-75 hotel/motel which accepts pets is identified on our color maps.

Our 25 mile colored maps are so helpful that they have won international awards.
Don't drive south without them in your car.
