Over the years, I’ve found a number of favorite tools, many of whom have supplied me with discount / referral codes. I hope you find these as useful as I do (and full disclosure: I get discounts / payments when you use them).

| FlightCar | Car rental at major US airports | About half the price, and you can either rent a car (drive a lot of interesting but well-maintained and clean cars!) or allow your car to be rented (save on parking fees, get a free car wash, and earn a bit too). A black car picks you up (fast!) at the airport, drives to the facility, and you’re off. In my experience, the whole process is faster than a normal rental. |
| Pentadactyl | Makes firefox feel like vi | Need I say more? Of course this is good. |
