We leave for our coastal California home exchange in just one week. This is a non-simultaneous exchange. The swappers used our place over the summer. Now it's our turn.
We have a car but no one wants to drive in Manhattan so we rarely swap it. When the exchangers were here we gave them unlimited transit passes to use. To make it a mutual exchange, the exchangers are letting us use their car while we are in California.
This actually ends up benefiting them as well. They drove their car to the airport and we are bailing it out of the parking lot and paying their parking fees. When we fly home we will return the car to the same lot so the exchangers can get home.
Not only do we get a car to use instead of having to rent one, our swap partners have access to their car right at the airport without having to pay anything for airport parking. Considering that their vacation is 30 days long, that is a huge savings for them of about $600.
They won't come home to a dead car battery either, as we will be driving their car almost every day. Home exchange is convenient in so many ways. I can no longer imagine travel without it!
