If you travel, whether its a lot or just a little, there are a few apps that are necessities for your trips. Ranging from your hotel to your flight to just driving. There are plenty of Android apps out there to help you out.
While Yelp isn’t really a new app, it’s still a pretty important one. Yelp helps you find restaurants nearby as well as see the ratings and reviews of those restaurants. Definitely something that’s useful when you’re in a new area you’ve never traveled to before.
Finding a gas station when you’re on the freeway can be a bit tricky. I’ve often seen signs that say “Next Gas Station, 50 miles”, and often times there’s not enough gas in the tank to last those 50 miles. That’s where GasBuddy comes in. It shows you gas stations near you, as well as giving you their prices. So you can choose the cheapest one.
Finding a hotel can sometimes be tricky, and depending on where you’re staying, it can be pretty pricey as well. Airbnb is pretty good though. While it’s not as glamorous as a hotel these days, you can get a room, or even just a couch to sleep on for a lot less than these hotels will charge.
Booking hotels, flights and car rentals can be tricky. Especially flights. As those prices do change almost hourly. Using Expedia you can find the best deal possible, and pretty quickly. You can also book a flight, hotel and your car rental altogether and save some time.
In a new area? Not sure where to get food? Don’t worry, GrubHub is here. GrubHub is a food delivery service for a bunch of restaurants. It’s actually pretty sweet. Their Android app is well put together as well. Which is always a plus.
