Depending on the destination, you will also see lower prices on many vacation rental homes in the US and Europe throughout September and October. Melanie Fish, HomeAway's travel expert, told POPSUGAR, "If the mountains are calling, vacation rental rates around Glacier National Park in Montana are lowest between October 1 and 15. On average, travelers can pay 30 percent less than they would during peak Summer season. In Estes Park, Colorado, nightly rates bottom out in mid-October, when travelers can typically save 17 percent on rentals."
Although Fish explained that while beaches don't all experience a shoulder season, she has noticed a steep dip in prices in one of the US's most exotic tropical getaways.
"Nightly vacation rental rates in Honolulu are at their lowest from around October 20 to November 5, with average rates that are 20 percent lower than during peak season."
