If you're heading off to travel the US with a few friends this year, make sure you take advantage of the opportunities to save your bucks for those nights you want to splurge on a fancy dinner or you fail to convince the bouncer to let you in for free to that hot new LA underground club.

Here are just a few ways to save:

Airport Transfers

Before you hop on a shuttle bus from the airport, find out how much a taxi costs. Often, you will find that with 3 or more travelers, the taxi turns out cheaper or just the same but with more convenience.

Hostel Bookings

For groups of 10 or more, Bakpak has teamed up with hostelbookers.com to offer you group rates that will surely save you time and money.
