FlightCar.com provides free airport parking -- if you're willing to rent out your car

Philly has another new way to save while traveling -- while engaging with the sharing economy.
Uncomfortable with strangers living with you? Equally unexcited to bunk with strangers? Or simply hesitant about Airbnb’s
legal struggles
? Take a baby step into the sharing economy by renting out your car while you’re away and get free airport parking to boot. Or rent someone else’s car for less than most traditional companies and forget about monitoring the ebb and flow of daily rates as your trip approaches.
FlightCar.com
is now operating in Boston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington and Los Angeles, among other cities.
If you’re leaving your car at an airport, you will get between $0.05 and $0.20 per mile driven, plus that free parking if you are renting out your car. Savings can be significant: As of late December you could rent from FlightCar in Boston in January for as low as $19 a day (including tax and insurance), more than 40 percent less than the cheapest listing I found on Kayak (not including insurance).
