Want to travel like an insider? Well, now you can.
Today I’m introducing the “beta” version of my new ebook series called The Travel Troubleshooter. Every book answers common questions about a topic, offers real examples of cases solved, and reveals the names and emails of executive contacts at companies. The first three are on car rentals, the TSA, and travel insurance.
Every week I’ll be adding a new ebook, so stay tuned — and please let me know which topics you want covered.
A very special thanks to my friends at AirportParkingReservations.com for sponsoring this site and newsletter. At AirportParkingReservations.com, you can select your airport and travel dates, compare nearby lots, view airport maps, and sort by price, parking type, star rating or company. But beyond that, you should know that AirportParkingReservations.com cares about great customer service, and that should be all the reason you need to give them your business.
You’ll want to check out my Mint.com story on how to force a company to stop cheating you when you’re a customer (it’s good stuff!). My pals over at SmartMoney also did a Q&A about my new book, and we had a lot of fun.
