    7. Skyscanner actually ~scans~ the web to find the best deals possible. Once you pick your favorite deal? CLICK. You'll be taken directly to the rental company — and nope, Skyscanner won't charge you a booking fee.

    Skyscanner also helps you search for flights and hotels! And let me tell you, dear readers, I have used Skyscanner for booking several flights — it is truly a miracle. I once found a ticket to Dublin from New York for $232. Yeah. ALSO! Skyscanner offers airport shuttle prices and schedules, and helps you figure out how to go from destination to destination via shuttle bus! Pretty darn neat, if you ask me. Check out all the great deals at Skyscanner.

    8. With car2go, you can rent a car for anywhere from 30 minutes, three hours, or up to two days. And the real "holy crap, where has this been all my life?" Fuel, parking, insurance, and maintenance are all included in the price.

    So here's how it works: Download the car2go app, locate and reserve a car in your area, and unlock the car through your phone. Do you have to return said car to the exact location you found it? NOPE! You can totally use this service for one-way trips — just be sure to drop it off in a car2go "home" area AKA a designated car2go spot. Example time! Want to go on an apple picking trip for a few hours? car2go will be less expensive than renting a car for, say, a whole darn day. Check out all the great deals at car2go.
