California travel deals come in a lot of different ways. Hotels, attractions, cities and towns offer specials all the time. Most of them are short-lived, with terms like "book by 8/1 for trips between 7/15 and 9/30." They're most prevalent when demand is low (which may not be the time when you want to go). The rest of the time, you can still get the most for your vacation dollar, and we'll show you how.

- Consider discount admission cards: If you're doing a lot, Go Cards, City Passes and regional attraction cards can be a real deal. We've listed them in the places they're available.
- Do Lunch (or not): If you want to try an expensive restaurant, their lunch prices are often lower than dinner. Or, (this is one of my favorite strategies) get a really cheap lunch and use most of your meal budget for dinner.
