Travel is high on many people's priority list, but it’s becoming harder to find affordable trips these days. Prices have increased on everything from rental cars and flights to hotels and Airbnbs, which makes it the perfect time to maximize discounts on travel booking sites like Priceline.
The Groupon Coupons team has uncovered many ways to save with Priceline, but one of the easiest is Priceline Express Deals. If your travel plans are flexible, you can save a pretty penny on your travel.
Important note: Priceline Express Deals are non-refundable, non-changeable, and non-transferable—keep that in mind before booking.
Priceline Express Deals | Hotels
Priceline Express Deals can save you up to 60% on hotel rooms. The only catch is that you won’t know exactly which hotel you’re getting until the booking is complete. You will however see the price, the hotel’s rating (4 stars, 5 stars, etc.), its general location (downtown Boston, Boston Logan Airport, etc.), and amenities. The info looks like this:
Priceline Express Deals | Flights
Priceline Express Deals can also be used for flights. Similar to the hotel Express Deals, there is a catch. You can save up to 50% off flights but you won’t know which airline you’ll be flying OR the exact timing of the flight until booking is complete. But you will at least have a vague idea of what you’re getting (i.e., morning or night takeoff, a guaranteed trusted airline, and whether or not luggage is included).
If your flight says “morning” it could be anytime between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m., “mid-day” is anytime between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., and “night” is anytime between 3 p.m. and midnight.
Most Priceline Express Deals only show up on last-minute flights. If you’re searching for flights in the next few weeks, look for Express Deals popping up in your search. They look like this:
If you are flexible on your travel dates, Priceline may even suggest cheaper options, so keep an eye out for this:

When you’re searching for rental cars on Priceline, look for Express Deal options like the one shown below. Again, you will not know which rental car brand you are getting or the exact car until you book. But you are guaranteed a reliable brand and car category, plus some specifics:
