AwardWallet is a great tool if you have rewards account with multiple airlines and hotel loyalty program. It allows you to track the mileage for different programs from single page and thus enable any changes to your account. It lists the account balances along with expiration dates for this rewards account. It also emails at set interval to notify of the account mileage expiration. AwardWallet has a free version as well as a paid version called "AwardWallet Plus" which has annual fees of $30. Below are the features which are available for both free and paid version of AwardWallet.

Common features available on both AwardWallet and AwardWallet Plus
The best part of AwardWallet is that the most important features are available on the free version as well. One of the important feature is "Track rewards for your family members".  This feature allows to track mileage of multiple people from single login and thereby avoiding the hassle of maintaining separate logins for different members. This is very useful if only one member manages all the accounts and thereby can look up balances for the members added to the account.

​You can either access their AwardWallet account by either "connect with another person" or directly add their airline/hotel accounts to your AwardWallet by using "Add a new person" to your account. Since it's useful to only have one AwardWallet account it is better to "Add a new person" to AwardWallet. Below are the steps in pictures on how to add someone to your account without they having their separate AwardWallet account.

Add their details. Email is optional. You do not need to check the box to invite the person
Once you add the person to your profile you can add the select program from "Account" tab, select the reward program and add the owner with their reward program login details. AwardWallet provides with an option to store the passwords either with AwardWallet or locally on your computer. You can thus repeat the process to all multiple people to your account and then easily update the balances along with any expiration from single page. 

So, if you are looking to simplify your Airlines/Hotels rewards program tracking then AwardWallet is your answer.

TURO is a platform to provide peer to peer car rental service. It is a car rental platform similar to Airbnb for house rentals. The cars are listed by local folks through the platform and can be either brought to the local airport (sometimes for a fee) or picked up at a local address in the city.

Below is the gist of the process. You can look up here for more details:
  • You look up the car's available on TURO based on your date, location and budget.
  • Select if you want the the car to be delivered to you or if you can pick it up.
  • The owner confirms your reservation within 8 hours.
  • Pick up at designated duration of time.
  • Return it back to the same location with gas being filled up.
Below is the snapshot of the search on TURO.

Since TURO is peer to peer car rental, it is recommended to purchase the insurance directly from TURO (Liberty Mutual is the underwriter) as damages will not be covered by the credit cards which usually provides CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) coverage. Alternatively if you rent from commercial hosts they would provide their own insurance and the additional payment for that would be directly assessed by the hosts. You can decline the insurance coverage but if you chose to take it there are 3 different kind of insurance coverage provided by TURO as shown below. The protection price calculation is shown in the article here.

Different protection plan provided by TURO
The total rental cost presented by TURO consists of car rental charge along with various fees. The breakdown of the major total cost consists of below:
  • Trip Price - Per day car rental charge.
  • Trip fee - A variable component based on the host and car with maximum of 25% of the Trip price.
  • Protection Fee - Depending on the protection plan chosen this fee can be as high as 60% of trip price . You can decline to take the protection if you wish.
  • Delivery Fee - Variable amount charge by host if they provide delivery of the vehicle.
There might be other fees assessed such as young driver fee, cleaning fee or taxes/fees assessed by certain locations. All the fees details can be found here.

TURO is available in the United States, Canada, Germany and U.K. at this time. The car's available through TURO vary but you can get a pretty good deal at a lower price than what the Car Rental companies would charge otherwise. So, next time you are looking for Car Rental do remember to check out TURO.

Referral - At this time TURO does offer a referral program where you get $25 in credit for referring someone to TURO. Here is our referral link (Thanks if you decide to use it).
