Links useful for travelers: cheap flights, hotels, accommodation, car rentals and more

Search quickly and efficiently

Traveling today is cheaper, faster and easier than ever before. Access to global databases via the Internet allows you to plan almost anything. Giant combine servers searching millions of offers are available 24 hours a day. Just fill out the modest and inconspicuous search box and press "Enter".
Below, I have gathered information on selected search engines divided into categories, thanks to which you can plan your trip and stay anywhere on the globe. I do not intend to publish here the addresses of all search engines, but only a few selected ones that I personally find most useful.

Hotels, accommodation

booking - [click]

I find most of my accommodations through booking.com . I've tried many different alternatives, but I usually end up with booking.com . They often offer additional discounts for regular customers, which often makes their offers unbeatable. I highly recommend them.

Ways to search for the best deals on Booking.com on specific examples, allowing to save several hundred zlotys, I described in detail in the entry: Cheap hotels on Booking? Of course! Check how to find comfortable and cheap accommodation! Barcelona, Rome, Paris ... wherever you want!

Car rentals

Discover Cars - [click]

The youngest of the search engines I propose, which makes it the most modern. Perfectly suited for use in phones, it includes a full set of search filters, in no way inferior to the desktop version.
In addition, the scope of information for each offer is well organized, the amounts of deposits, credit card requirements and other issues important when renting are clearly described. Big + from me for the readability and transparency of offers!
The search engine is rated very highly by users.
From the technical point of view and the quality of the description of car rental offers, in my opinion it is unrivaled.

Rentalcars - [click]

A proven, extensive database of car rental companies. Prices through Rentalcars are sometimes lower than those directly on the rental website. A huge advantage is that it includes offers from even smaller, local rental companies, which in many places are significantly more attractive than the prices of large chains. A significant drawback is the poor mobile version of the website. When opening the website on a phone, basic search filters are missing (for example, you can't select the rental companies to limit your search results to), resulting in a very long list of results, making it difficult to find the offer you're looking for.

PLEASE NOTE: Rentalcars has now been integrated with Booking.com (Booking owns Rentalcars), so in practice, you make your reservations on Booking.com. The booking landing page will have the Booking logo or the logos of both companies.

Northbound - [click]

Car rental price comparison website focusing mainly on Iceland.
Iceland in this respect is quite specific and if you are looking for a car rental in Iceland, getting acquainted with the offer of this comparison engine is necessary.

Car Rental Online – [click]

An interesting search engine based on DiscoverCars data, but also offering a wealth of useful information related to the target location: road regulations, fuel prices, maps with precise rental locations, lists of tourist attractions (sometimes with ready-made sightseeing itineraries, e.g., Croatia , Sardinia ), and year-round weather data. A complete set of essential information for every traveler.

Car rental tutorials

Car rental rules vary from country to country, and even within regions of the same country! There are places where you can find great offers, or where you have to be especially careful about something. I regularly add articles in which I provide directions to the best offers or warn against possible threats. Below is a list of such articles that were created especially for selected places.

Public transport

Omio – [click]

Many people prefer to travel using public transport. It is an excellent tool for checking connections and conveniently purchasing tickets online Omio – [click]. The tool contains a huge database of bus, rail, air and sea connections from around the world and offers a very convenient search engine in several dozen languages, including Polish!
The search engine displays the best prices, provides travel times and allows you to purchase tickets quickly and easily. Tickets can be printed or used electronically on your phone.

Coaches

FLIXbus - [click]

The best network of bus connections at the moment, serving connections in Europe. In addition, a huge number of national, local bus connections. Simple booking and purchase of a ticket via the internet. It must be said that the prices are very attractive. Very friendly connection search engine. Reservation with 1 one month in advance guarantees a big discount on the ticket. Reductions for earlier bookings even reach 70%.

Train tickets

Trainline - [click]

Would it be nice to be able to buy a train ticket for trains throughout Europe, without leaving home, via computer or telephone? It sounds like a fairy tale, but today it is a fact. The largest international rail ticket sales platform has launched its sales platform ~~in Polish~~! Now you can buy a train ticket throughout Europe, at the same price as at the ticket window at the train station. Do you want to take a train from Cordoba to Malaga or from Palermo to Catania? Here you go! You click on Trainline - [click], you are looking for a connection, you buy and you drive!
Aaah ... something else! Let it be funny one of the few carriers whose tickets are not on the platform are carriers from Poland 🙂

Cheap flights

skyscanner - [click]

Definitely the most enjoyable and most convenient tool for looking for cheap flights. In addition, it operates probably on the largest database of carriers and flights. It is rare to find a cheaper flight in some niche search engine. There are several similar: kayak, Momondo or finding cheap flights , but for some reason this is the most popular.
Detailed description how to cleverly search for cheap flights and showing how you can on your air ticket itself save over 1 PLN 000 you will find in a separate article: How to search for cheap flights and cheap flights? [GUIDE]

Travel Insurance (Is It Necessary?)

I don't want to spend too much time on this topic, so I'll be really specific. I'll be brief: I never leave home on a trip alone without insurance. On a trip we are constantly moving to new places, our heads are occupied with delights and other pleasures. We are more relaxed and it is not difficult to have an adventure. Lack of insurance is asking for serious trouble.
It is also worth remembering that the so-called EHIC, i.e. the insurance that we have as citizens of the European Union, does not reimburse everything. It only reimburses what is reimbursed in a given country (e.g. in France, 35% of the costs of state rescue services are paid out of pocket). We could go into details for a long time, but doing so is pointless, because a solid weekly insurance for one person in Europe, compared to the cost of the entire trip it's surprisingly cheap. You can easily find really good deals for around 10-15 EUR total for the whole week (!!!), which is the equivalent of two or three beers.
I usually look for the best deals in this area offer comparison - [click] (in this case it's Rankomat) and I buy them online. You can do it really quickly and cheaply.

Below is an example of a good and not at all the cheapest offer from a price comparison site (for an entire week in 2025).

Very good offer of 7 day insurance at a great price, found in **Rankomat offer comparison tool**

I never choose the cheapest offer, because the price difference between the cheapest and a really solid offer with high insurance values is usually around 3 EUR (around 15 PLN). This is not a saving worth the risk.

Two parameters are key in the offers:
- goat goat (KL) - the minimum amount is PLN 250 (EUR 000)
- Civil protection (OC) - the minimum amount is PLN 250 (EUR 000)

it is worth paying attention to two additional parameters:
- Consequences of Accidents (NNW) - at your discretion
- travel luggage insurance - at your discretion
