Which? Unveils Top 5 Money-Saving Travel Tips London, UK – May 18, 2025 – A recent video by consumer champion Which? offers five practical tips to help travelers save money on their next holiday. The video, featuring travel expert [Presenter's Name], has quickly gained popularity, highlighting the widespread interest in budget travel advice. One key tip is to always check hotel prices on your mobile phone before booking on a computer. "We slashed £270 off the price of an apartment in Amsterdam simply by doing this," the presenter explains. This emphasizes the importance of price comparison across different platforms. Another tip involves booking flights directly with airlines instead of using online travel agents. While online agents may appear cheaper initially, they often add extra costs for baggage and seat selection. The video also cautions against purchasing car hire excess insurance through the rental company, as it tends to be more expensive and less comprehensive than third-party options. For those traveling with companions, Which? advises against paying extra to guarantee seating together, unless flying with budget airlines like Ryanair or Wizz Air. The presenter notes that major airlines like BA and Jet2 strive to seat groups together where possible. Finally, the video stresses the importance of avoiding airport currency exchange due to unfavorable rates. Which?'s video serves as a valuable resource for budget-conscious travelers, offering practical and easily implementable strategies to save money and enhance their travel experiences.
