Many a cost conscious traveler who only travels after acareful review of cheaptravel options such as cheap airplane ticket, discount hotel room, and cheap vacation package, isturned off at the prospect of finding long term parking at the airport as wellas the inevitable yet somehow always shocking expense and the prospect ofhaving to do the whole thing again upon returning.
An alternative to this common experience is emergingwhereby people drive to the airport, dont pay for parking, and at the end of theirtrips have their cars returned to them freshly cleaned.
FlightCar, launched in 2013, is taking the sting out ofairport parking and sweetening the prospect of renting a car.
Inspired in part by sharing economy models such as Airbnb,FlightCar makes sharing cars convenient and a win-win proposition for both carowners and car renters.
With FlightCar car owners can save on parking fees and makea little money. Instead of parking yourcar at the airport when you fly, FlightCar enables you to list your car onlinein advance of a pending trip. Travelersplanning on visiting your city can browse listings and reserve your car.
Participants of FlightCar drop their cars off at aFlightCar station, where a shuttle gives them a quick ride to the airport. For each day someone rents your car you willreceive cash. At the completion of yourtrip, you will return to a clean car with a full tank of gas.
The upside for car renters is that they may be able to renta cooler set of wheels. Renters are ableto contact FlightCar at any point for assistance, and when it is time to returnthe car to a Flight Car station before the flight home, renters take a shortshuttle ride to the airport.
