I love to travel. Shared economy Apps such as Airbnb, Uber, and Lyft that have gained popularity in the past few years have really helped me a lot and have allowed my journeys to be fi lled with delight. I have come to terms with the fact that I have become very reliant on shared economy platforms. First let’s talk about Uber. When I was travelling around America I frequently used Uber. Compared to the traditional taxi, Uber has a multitude of advantages, one of which is that Uber vehicles are very comfortable and clean. In general, the quality and brand name of Uber vehicles are definitely better than taxis and luxury cars like BMWs are rather commonplace. Because they are private vehicles, the interiors are much better than those of traditional taxis.

Uber vehicles are very easy to find and they are also much faster than taxis, which has saved me a lot of time and is a very important factor when considering someone’s degree of satisfaction towards travelling. Additionally, Uber is relatively inexpensive but Lyft is even cheaper. If someone refers a new user to Uber, then that person will obtain a credit reward that is valid for three months. Actually, in my opinion, Uber is very convenient to use, however Europe has imposed so many restrictions on Uber that it has now become impossible to use. Moving on to Airbnb, I frequently look for room rentals via Airbnb.

Airbnb has a lot of property sources to draw from and the majority of my rental experiences have been very positive with tidy rooms and clean beds. However, I am very disappointed with one of Airbnb’s features: Airbnb landlords can refuse a guest at any given time, even right up to the last minute. In other words, if I planned to travel to New York, booked accommodation via Airbnb, and arrived in New York only to have the landlord suddenly refuse me, the only thing I could do is to find another place for accommodation. My Airbnb landlord is relatively nice; sometimes I get a great conversation going with him and he will also show me around. In short, shared economy platforms have definitely given me more options.
