JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- This summer, if you're planning to travel, don't make the mistakes that can cost you money.

Here are my top 10 travel mistakes to avoid and ways to put more money in your pocket.

Number 10: Failing to inspect your rental car before taking the keys; at that point you are liable for every scratch and dent.

This mistake is easy to avoid. Find someone to inspect the vehicle before you accept it. Note any damage and get them to sign off. Some rental companies have started a program to take pre-rental pictures of their cars.

Number Nine: Failing to buy travel insurance

If you're going on a cruise, spend a few extra bucks for cancellation insurance. There are two types of policies, primary and secondary. Primary covers you from the first penny, and secondary kicks in after your own private insurance, like homeowners, has paid out.
