How to get better deals online with the help of a Virtual Private Network

Save tens, hundreds, and even thousands of dollars discovering better deals with CyberGhost VPN

Your chance to turn the tables

You’re about to discover how to profit off the marketing schemes used by online shopping stores. And this little shopping hack could help you pocket hundreds and even thousands of your hard-earned money.

But first, you need to understand why you’re probably paying more than you should on things such as flight tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, and more.

Equality means nothing in online shopping

It’s time for a rude – but necessary – awakening! The world of online shopping can be deceitful. The price you see can often be different from the price someone from a different country sees.

Plenty of online purchasing sites use something called geo-based pricing to increase their profits. That means the country you’re browsing from determines the price you’ll see.

How CyberGhost VPN helps you get better deals online

CyberGhost VPN lets you use dynamic pricing to your advantage.

By connecting to a VPN server from a different country, you’re virtually changing your IP address and country as well. And online shopping sites will now show you the price that applies to the country where your chosen VPN server is located.

With CyberGhost, switching between VPN servers from different countries to compare prices takes only a few clicks. That’s a low-effort, high-impact activity.

How to save money on flights

Airplane companies are notorious for raising their prices based on whether you’ve shown interested in a particular flight by visiting their website. VPN software makes you immune to this practice by keeping your browsing history 100% private. This way, airfare sites won’t be able to raise their prices if you return.

The location from where you’re browsing for your plane ticket can also make a difference in the price.

To check how much your location is costing you, use CyberGhost VPN to switch between different countries so you can compare prices.

How to get better car rental deals

If you plan on renting a car anytime soon, you need to get a VPN right now. That’s because due to location surcharges, local taxes and insurance costs, prices for car rentals can vary a lot.

Price when connected to an American VPN server

Price when connected to a Spanish VPN server

For example, renting the same car, for the same 1-week period, was $100 cheaper when we used a Spanish IP instead of an American one.

Book cheaper hotel rooms

Booking hotel rooms while connected to a VPN is one of the best ways to save big bucks when traveling. For example, an EU citizen going to Las Vegas would pay $1,367 for a 1-week stay at California Hotel and Casino.

Price when using an US IP

However, with CyberGhost VPN turned on and connected to a US server, the same hotel comes $276 cheaper!

Hotel rooms prices seem to be smaller for locals. So, you have the best chances of finding great discounts if you connect to a VPN server located in the country you plan of visiting or a neighboring one.

FAQ

How can a VPN save me money on booking a flight?

Flight comparison sites have numerous marketing hacks to get you to buy a ticket. If you've ever had the feeling that a plane ticket increased in price the second time you checked it, it's because it probably has. The website tracked your behavior, saw that you were interested, and quickly increased the price so you could see that the demand is high and you risk losing your seat if you don’t book soon. A VPN can stop that by hiding your real IP address and encrypting your traffic, thus making it impossible for websites to track you.

How can a VPN save me money on booking a hotel room?
