PMU’S£££ expert Last-minute hol savings

1 Airport parking

Don’t just turn up! Book in advance for the best parking deals.

2 Sun cream

Buy before you go, as it always costs more in the resort. Look for 3-for-2 deals and value-size bottles.

3 Car hire

Hire before you go to save around 25%. For best car deals, see holidayautos.co.uk

4 Attractions

It can be cheaper to buy theme-park tickets in advance. For parks in Orlando, Spain, France and the UK, see travelrepublic. co.uk to buy tickets.

5 Phone sense

Get free calls with Skype, and you can add credit to call landlines. You should also turn off 3G and use free Wi-fi if you can. See what overseas deals your provider offers, or buy a local SIM abroad.
