Introduction: Cheaper Fuel ≠ Cheaper Trips
India just saw a drop in fuel prices—great news for travelers! But let’s be honest:
Even with petrol and diesel prices falling, many of us are still overspending on travel.
Why? Because cheap fuel doesn’t fix bad travel budgeting.
At Vizzve Finance, we believe the right money mindset can make your journeys smoother—on the road and in your bank account.
📉 Latest Fuel Price Update (July 2025)
⛽ Petrol: Down by ₹3.5/litre in major metros
🚙 Diesel: Dropped by ₹2.7/litre
✈️ Airfares remain volatile, but fuel cost cuts offer partial relief
🛣️ Road travel expected to increase this quarter
Despite this relief, travel inflation still lurks—from food costs to dynamic hotel pricing.
🧠 Why Most People Overspend on Travel
| Habit | Result |
|---|---|
| No fixed travel budget | Overspending without realizing |
| Last-minute bookings | Surge pricing and fewer options |
| Ignoring hidden costs | Toll, parking, snacks, forex fees mount |
| Credit card overuse | Debt pile-up post trip |
| No real-time tracking | No clue where the money is going |
