Book Your Trip
The sites we actually compare before booking
No single site is cheapest every time. We check two or three, then book direct with the hotel brand if points make sense.
Bundle & Save with Expedia
Combine flights + hotels for extra savings. One booking, one confirmation.
Hotels & Stays
Compare stays
Booking.com
The broadest hotel and apartment inventory worldwide, free cancellation on most rooms.
Expedia
Strong for bundling flight + hotel, and for stacking Expedia Rewards points.
Agoda
Strong presence in Asia with excellent deals on local properties and direct hotel partnerships.
Hotels.com
Collect 10 nights, get 1 free — simple and stacks alongside cash-back portals.
Flights
Compare flights
Kayak
Our go-to for comparing flight prices and setting price-drop alerts before booking.
Aviasales
Especially strong for finding budget and low-cost carrier routes that don't always show up elsewhere.
Skyscanner
Best for flexible-month searches and finding budget carriers other sites miss.
Google Flights
Fastest way to scan a whole month for the cheapest days to fly.
Ground Transport
Car rentals
Discover Cars
Consistently the best-value car rental comparison site for international trips.
Rentalcars.com
Booking.com's car rental arm — one search compares Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Budget, Sixt, and Enterprise together.
Hertz
One of the largest global fleets and a solid loyalty program (Hertz Gold Plus Rewards) if you rent often.
Avis
A major global brand with wide airport coverage — often worth comparing directly against the aggregators.
Budget
Avis Budget Group's value brand — same network, generally lower rates than Avis itself.
Europcar
The strongest pick for European road trips specifically — deep coverage across the continent.
SIXT
A German brand known for a slicker app and a newer, more premium-leaning fleet.
Localrent
Local, independent rental agencies rather than the big brands — sometimes the better price at smaller airports.
Enterprise
Especially strong across the US — a natural fit for road trips like the national parks route.
Things To Do
Tours, tickets & experiences
Tiqets
Fast, mobile-first tickets for museums and attractions — good for booking same-day.
Viator
Our go-to for skip-the-line tickets and day tours — huge selection, free cancellation on most bookings.
GetYourGuide
Strong for smaller, less touristy local experiences that Viator sometimes doesn't list.
Klook
Especially strong across Asia — attraction tickets, transport passes, and local experiences in one place.
Tiqets
Fast, mobile-first tickets for museums and attractions — good for booking same-day.
Travel Insurance
Medical cover for every trip type
Get a quote before you pay for flights or hotels — a single claim can cost tens of thousands without coverage.
Compensair
Travel delay and flight cancellation compensation claims.
EKTA
Competitive rates for shorter trips, with straightforward online claims.
SafetyWing
Subscription-style travel medical cover built for long-term travelers and expats.
World Nomads
Strong adventure-activity coverage (diving, hiking, safaris) most standard policies exclude.
Allianz Travel
A household name with solid trip-cancellation and interruption coverage for pricier bookings.
Stay Connected
Mobile data the moment you land
An eSIM installs before you leave and activates on arrival — no airport kiosk, no local SIM shop, no juggling a second physical SIM.
Saily
Our pick for landing and getting mobile data instantly, no local SIM shop or airport kiosk needed.
Airalo
The widest country/region coverage of any eSIM provider — good backup if Saily doesn't cover a destination.
Yesim
A third option worth comparing on price for the specific country you're headed to.
Book Direct
Hotel loyalty programs
If we already have points banked, we book direct with the brand instead of a third-party site — it's usually the only way to earn or redeem points.
Hilton
Our most-used loyalty program — Honors points redeemed on more than half the trips on this site.
Marriott Bonvoy
The widest global footprint of any hotel program, useful for smaller cities.
World of Hyatt
Smaller portfolio, but the best redemption value per point of the major chains.
IHG One Rewards
Good mid-scale coverage (Holiday Inn Express, Kimpton) for road-trip stops.
