¿How to save money traveling in a campervan?

Do you want to make your camper trip economical? There are several apps that can save you money and time. These applications will become your best allies while traveling and will also be useful when planning your trip. There are many applications that allow us to save money during our road trips and new ones are constantly coming out.

We have selected apps that are free and at the same time provide us to reduce the costs of our trip in different areas. Let's start!

1- Overnight stay and free parking

Something that can make our trip cheaper is to find free places to spend the night. We need to do it every day and if we get places to spend the night without spending a single euro, it will be a success.

Park4night allows you to select among many other filters free places to spend the night for free. They also provide information on whether water and electricity services are also free.

Parkopedia, an app to find parking lots and free parking spaces. It has a database in more than 80 countries and the best thing is that the information is provided by users.

In addition, this perfect app for road travel, also provides information on public parking, rates, conditions or payment systems accepted and you can make your reservation in advance.

2-Food

There is an application called Too Good To Go where they give the opportunity to buy at a very good price, even surprise packs with all this food directly from the businesses.

When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport and package it. And if the food ends up in the landfill and rots, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide.

In this app you can select from a wide variety of establishments where you can rescue food and save delicious food that has not yet been sold and prevent it from going to waste, saving you money on your trip.

2-Water

As for water as a general rule all camper vans or motorhomes usually carry a tank of greater or lesser size to stock up on water in their day to day.

There are applications where they show places where to proceed to the filling of tanks. One of them is Park4night but this time we want to talk about the Closcawater app.

In this collaborative app you will find hundreds of free water points that are added by the users themselves.

3-Gasoline

Another of the most important expenses while traveling in camper or motorhome. Therefore it is necessary to locate in advance those gas stations where it will be cheaper to fill our tank to travel cheaper.

The Gasolina al instante application allows you to locate the nearest gas stations where you can find the best price of gasoline in countries such as Spain, France, Germany and Austria.

With this information we can also trace a route through the most economical gas stations throughout the trip.

4-Tourism

Finally if we want to travel cheaper in Camper surely we will do tourism and visit certain places of interest. For this it is great to know that there are websites where they offer free tours or tickets such as Civitatis.

Civitatis is a portal with many attractions, museums, activities and you will also find freetours in many cities. Undoubtedly the best way to start to know a city and then be able to move around it having some information.

Another option to get to know towns and cities closely is with the Greeters, volunteers and locals who welcome visitors individually or in groups. This association, which is present in more than 33 countries, supports sustainable tourism and respects the natural and man-made environment. It also brings cultural and economic enrichment to local communities. Their tours last between two and three hours and you are sure to leave as part of the place because you will end up loving it.
