I'm currently planning to utilize my language skills and head to Europe for medical school (it's a lot cheaper, among other things!). However, the trip to visit each of the schools is making me think long and hard about ways that might lead to lower travel costs. SO far, I have found that sixtusa.com offers VERY competitive rates for car rentals to US citizens, and they include insurance in the rental. While gas is more expensive over there, Europe is pretty small (within a couple of countries, at least), and it should save me a pretty penny. Good luck with all of your interviews!

It is good to take a car on rent or cab, but if your budget is limited then metro is best option. I am agree with JE’s comment, Metro is best way in these days.

Thanks for contributing it. I wanted to add that for those who have a PDA, there is a program called "metro" which has public transportation laid out very nicely for many major cities (not just U.S.). It is very easy to use and helps you figure out the fastest routes to use and which methods of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). You can find it here (http://nanika.net/Metro/).

(read at valuewit.com) The freedom of the car had me sitting at traffic lights wondering which form of immediate gratification I would choose. Should I get coffee? What if went to the stationary store and bought a notepad? Are the new boots out? Better stop in and look at the new fall collection? What about new jewelry? Hell, what about a new car? Riding the bus makes a person plan a schedule. Walking makes a person decide if buying a new boots is important enough to plan a trip and use an hour of the day. Quite by accident, the bus has not only saved gas money, it’s saved hundreds (thousands?) of dollars. I gave up my car for 30 days and saved a ton of money.
