Startup gets passengers the best train price, even after purchase

Travel & Tourism

Save a Train is a new website which helps customers get the best price by telling them when to cancel and rebook their tickets.

As with many ticketed services, train fares can vary widely for the same journey, depending on demand and temporary promotions. Save a Train is a new website which helps customers get the best price by telling them when to cancel and rebook their tickets and get the best fare.

Save a Train was created by 3D-Innotech Venture Studio. To use, customers simply book their train as normal and choose the fair with the free cancellation policy. Then, they enter their ticket details into Save a Train. The program will monitor the prices continuously and alert the customer if and when the price drops. Travelers can then visit their train provider and rebook their tickets at a saving.

Save a Train is currently only available in France but is expected to expand into other territories soon. We have already seen a startup offer a similar automated function for hotel customers and another which guarantees the best price for online services even after purchase. Are there any other purchases that could be hacked in this way?
