Money saving expert Martin Lewis, hosted a special holiday edition of his Money Show Live this week, sharing easy hacks to help jet-setters this summer.
A useful tip for those booking travel and accommodation separately which could help save a good few pennies using his 'rebook' trick.
Martin explained that if your hotel is cheaper now than when you booked and you’ve got free cancellation - that’s the crucial bit - all you have to do is cancel your existing booking and make a new one. He told ITV viewers: “That means if you’ve got a hotel with free cancellation, you should regularly be checking the comparison sites for the prices. It’s as simple as that.”

And the savvy hack doesn’t just work on hotels, one viewer got in touch to share their success story on rebooking car hire abroad, reports the Record.
In a tweet to the show, Sylvaine said: “Back in March, followed tips on car rentals and booked for July hols in the USA with a cancellation up to 48h before.
“Checked back a couple of weeks ago and found the identical car/rental company on same website at half the original price, saved over £600 THANK YOU.”
Martin responded: “I love it, that’s a proper success.”
