Capital Casebook Equity The Expedia(R) Gas Station Locator helps those who rent a car avoid overpaying for gas when they return the car to the airport by pinpointing gas stations with the lowest priced gas near the top 50 airports nationwide. Travelers who use the Gas Station Locator will save time by not having to find a gas station at the last minute and save money by knowing where to go for the cheapest gas and avoiding the high cost of having the rental agency refuel for them. Found on the Expedia.com cars page, Gas Station Locator features a drop down menu of the nation's top 50 airports and allows the user to search for relevant gas stations by city. Upon selecting an airport location, the user is presented with up to five stations nearest the airport with the current price of regular unleaded gas at each. The new Fare Alert tool helps travelers avoid overpaying for flights by conducting regular searches on Expedia.com and automatically alerting the user on their computer desktop when an airfare is found below their designated price. Fare Alert is the only tool of its kind from an online travel agency that provides pricing information on both flights and flight+hotel vacation packages.
