That’s why most of us use websites like moneysupermarket.com and comparethemarket.com when a renewal’s due on your car or home insurance for example.
And for holidays, you have lastminute.com and other similar websites.
But there’s one trick that you might not be aware of when it comes to booking holidays…
A VPN is advertised as a way of providing a higher level of security on the web. But it’s most commonly used to access Netflix, Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer when we’re overseas, as we can trick these apps into thinking we’re still in the UK.

Using the same example, rather than go to disneylandparis.com, go to disneylandparis.fr instead. A family of four did this, and saved £170 on a seven-night stay with two-day theme park tickets.
