Getting In On the Travel Sharing Trend

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s no secret that travel share is a booming industry. With less mainstream ways to travel on a budget, it’s easier than ever to travel the world without going broke. I’m all for going independent when I can to save some bucks, especially if I have plenty of traveler reviews to back up the safety and legitimacy of it all. 


Instead of staying in a hotel or eating at a traditional restaurant or going to the big box car rental places for some wheels, why not go local and more affordable?
 


AccommodationsI’ve been on the travel share bandwagon for a long time. While I love a hotel and still use them when needed, I love to feel more at home when I travel and enjoy having a kitchen and laundry at my disposal. If you do, too, try:

  • Airbnb - Indisputably the most well-known way to rent a vacation space. Choose from a room in a home to an entire apartment and everything in between. Get to meet locals where you can while making use of the spaces they aren’t using. (Here’s an account of one of my Airbnb experiences.)
  • Homeexchange - Want to really save some money? Swap your house with other travelers where you want to go. Take in their mail, feed their dogs and generally be them for the duration of your trip.
  • Homeaway - Like Airbnb, see a long list of spaces for rent, go through HomeAway, so you know your reservation is safe and secure.

TransportationYou may already be using Uber and Lyft to get around, but why stop there? If you want to drive on your own schedule, rent someone else’s car while you’re in town. See locals who can spare their wheels while you’re visiting on these great sites:
  • Turo
  • GetAround
  • FlightCar
  • ZipCar - Unlike these others, these are shared cars in a city. Rent it by the hour. Pick it up and drop it off at a designated location.


DiningI’m open to meeting new people and I love to eat. Now you can visit locals for homemade meals or meet someone for food at a restaurant. This is especially good for people who are traveling solo and don’t like to eat alone and those that are really outgoing.


Other stuffSometimes you get to a place and realize you want something specific, like golf clubs or skis. Since bringing them with you can be crazy expensive, why not rent some from someone while you’re in town? 

Travel sharing is perfect for those that want to help out individuals while also getting a hyperlocal experience.

What’s your favorite travel share service?
