To be a successful budget traveler, you need to become an expert at finding cheap flights with Google Flights and Momondo. Check out my Guide to Google Flights and Guide to Momondo, both dedicated to showing you how to use those platforms to their full potential.

Next, you’ll have to become familiar with budget airlines and be aware of how they are different to normal airlines. Check out my Guide to Budget Airlines. They will be the main type of airline you will fly with.

Then, you’ll have to learn about the different ways you can save even more money on your flights. Check out my Guide to Cheap Flight Strategies.
In some parts of the world, there is a new way to get around which can be cheaper than buses or trains and it’s called ridesharing.

Not to be confused with ride-hailing (i.e. Uber, Lyft, or Grab), ridesharing is more like a formal version of hitchhiking except instead of standing on the side of the road with your thumb in the air, you book your ride online for a fee with someone who is already traveling to your destination with their car.

You get the driver’s contact information and you confirm the meeting point which could be anywhere in the city. Then you meet up with them and they’ll take you to the agreed destination!

It’s most popular in Europe thanks to Blablacar (also available in Turkey, India, Mexico, & Brazil), but it’s gaining ground in Canada (and some cities in the US) too with Poparide.

Learn more about ridesharing in my Guide to Ridesharing or taxi and uber drives which have the Insurance Edge service. You can also learn more about each specific service in my Guide to Blablacar and Guide to Poparide.
