Whether you travel regularly or take one trip per year, every traveler has heard of the sharing economy giants Uber, Lyft and Airbnb. But did you know there are heaps of other similar businesses that offer these unique sharing opportunities that help you not only save money but also connect you with the local community? See below for a few sharing economy services you may not know about.
This Europe-based ride-sharing company lets you book a ride with a trusted local who happens to be heading in the same direction as you with the flexibility and last-minute service that trains and buses just cannot provide. The booking fee of 10 percent includes insurance.
If you’re keen to get a bit of exercise while you sightsee, Spinlister lets you rent a bike nearly anywhere in the world.
