Have plans to travel (home or away) for the holidays? Even if you think you booked a great deal on hotels or rental cars, check again closer to the time of departure. If you find an even better deal, you may be able to ditch your old plan for the less expensive new one.

According to Bargaineering:

If you book a hotel or rental car, then find out that they’ve lowered the price, many companies will offer you the difference if you ask for it says Chatzky.

“Hotels and rental cars, you can always cancel, at least most cases you can cancel,” she says, “and if you can cancel then you can get yourself the better rate.”

Saving money this holiday season, she adds, boils down to staying flexible and continually keeping an eye out for opportunities to save.
