38. Rent a car through the website rather than wait in line

What you need: Computer/phone to book
Cost: $50+*

When visiting a new location, renting a car is frequently necessary. You reach to the location by airline, yet transportation is still necessary. Rather than standing in line, reserve a car online at the rental website. If you pay in advance, you’ll have greater availability and may even save money. You won’t have to wait either. Additionally, you may confirm that the car meets your needs and budget when you reserve online. For instance, you won’t have to depend on chance to get what you need if you require a car with larger room. Before you even land, reserve yours.

39. Download or print your boarding pass and airport map

Pros: Saves time and confusion
What you need: Printer
Cost: Free/minimal at the local library*

Before you arrive at the airport, think about downloading and printing your boarding card and an airport map. You can save time and check in early if you have a printer at home. If you’re going with Southwest or another airline, checking in early usually offers you a better boarding position. You can also skip the airport kiosk line and head directly to baggage claim. If you are heading to a busy airport like LAX or ATL—two of the world’s most confusing airports according to TravelTrivia—you should definitely print out an airport map.
