If you’ve got your motor runnin’, ready to head out on the highway, looking for adventure … you might be thinking that cheap hostels in Austin may come your way for your last-minute getaway. But if bunk-bedding it isn’t on your list of must-haves for your upcoming trip, there’s another accommodation option that can get you way more with even wilder savings.

An affordable Austin hostel may be a great way to hang with fellow travelers and to hold onto some change for the road, but why not get a smidgen of privacy (and your own bathroom) and book a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel instead? Even if you’re looking to grab a place at the last minute, you can get semi-truck-sized savings. In fact, you can save an average of 60% versus booking a listed rate two weeks earlier, so locking down that 4-star hotel room at a 2-star price is no biggie.
