AI-generated image of seniors being charged an extra fee for their car rental.

Our rental car company charged us extra because we're over 70, even though the fee wasn't clearly disclosed when we booked. Can we dispute it?

Age-related rental restrictions do exist in some destinations, especially outside the United States, but that doesn’t mean every surprise charge should simply be accepted.

AI-generated image of a couple debating whether or not to buy a timeshare.

My husband wants to buy a vacation timeshare because we visit the same destination every winter, but I think renting would be cheaper. Who's right?

If you already spend every winter in the same destination, buying a guaranteed piece of that vacation can sound perfectly logical. But a timeshare doesn't simply replace a hotel bill with ownership.

AI-generated image of a couple worried about charging their EV during a national park camping trip.

AI-generated image of a couple debating the price of camping vs. hotel trips.

Our family keeps spending more on camping vacations than hotels, but my spouse insists camping is always the cheaper option. Is that really true?

Few vacations sound more affordable than loading up the car and heading to a campground. Yet plenty of families come home wondering how a weekend outdoors managed to cost more than their last hotel stay. So where is all that extra money actually going?
