Save Money on Your Reservations
Order Groceries Before You Arrive
You found your dream vacation rental (with help from Only In Your State, hopefully), and you’re ready to hit “reserve” on the house and all kinds of scheduled exploration. Before you do, though, tap into your Walmart+ benefits and get up to five percent Walmart Cash on vacation and car rentals, tours, activities, and more with Walmart+ Travel.3 Good news: You’re saving before you’ve even left home.
Whether you’re headed down the road or across the country, packing up and traveling can be tiring and seriously appetite-inducing. Walking into a stocked fridge and pantry is the best kind of welcome — and with Walmart+, you can get fresh groceries and other essentials from your local Walmart dropped off at your temporary doorstep without paying a cent for delivery.1
And if you discover you’re all out of coffee or want to throw together an impromptu s’mores night mid-stay, you can place another order and score all the same low prices you’d find in store. No shipping fees4 and no precious vacation time wasted grocery shopping.

Get Your Entertainment Systems Hooked Up
Plan a Few Outings
Another essential for any stay at a rental house? Entertainment. Cue up your made-for-vacation playlists, challenge your crew to karaoke, or settle in for a cozy movie night on the couch. With your Walmart+ membership, you’ll unlock an included Paramount+ subscription2 for access to thousands of episodes and movies, plus live sports.
When you feel like heading out for a local coffee run, in-town exploring, or a longer day trip, you’ll be set with Walmart+’s gas benefits. As a member, you can save 10 cents per gallon at more than 13,000 locations nationwide including Exxon, Mobil, Walmart, and Murphy stations.5
Bonus: If you get hungry while you’re out exploring, you can enjoy big savings at Burger King® by ordering through the BK® App or on bk.com. A Walmart+ membership unlocks 25 percent off digital orders every day and a free Whopper® every three months with any purchase.
With all these benefits in your back pocket (literally — just log into the Walmart app), you’re bound to take the whole vacation-rental-house process in stride, so you can spend more energy and money actually enjoying your trip. The only lingering question is: How long can you stay?
With the kitchen stocked, give the rest of the vacation rental a quick scan. Are the bathrooms stocked with soaps and shower essentials? Is the stash of board games up to snuff? Did you forget to pack your Polaroid?
Reminder: Walmart+ gets you free shipping on all kinds of household necessities with no order minimum — so there’s no stress about filling even the smallest cart. Plus, you can return anything you don’t end up using for free, without repackaging or leaving the house, thanks to Walmart+ Returns From Home benefit.
Vacationing brings all kinds of memory-making joy: jam-packed itineraries, jaw-dropping views, local food tours. But the best part of taking a trip are the little moments when you can put your feet up and be present — which is why so many opt to skip individual hotel rooms for a vacation rental where you can all pile in together.
Pros: You’ll get more space to make yourself at home away from home, way more opportunities to hang, and a feeling of living like a true local. Cons: You have to stock the fridge yourself, figure out entertainment on rainy days, and deal with it when you (inevitably) run out of toilet paper. The solution: a Walmart+ membership.
Only In Your State travel experts recommend this membership program, which makes logistics easy through a variety of benefits (think free delivery1 for all your vacation essentials at your doorstep, gas discounts, video streaming,2 and so much more) that you’ll want to tap into before, during, and after your trip.
