Best iPhone and iPad apps for holiday travelers

Looking for the best iPhone apps and best iPad apps to take with you on your travels this holiday season? From booking a place to stay to renting cars, from passing the time on the trip to getting directions once you arrive, there are a lot of great choices on the App Store. Here are the ones you shouldn't leave home without!

Best hotel and home rental apps for iPhone

While some people opt to stay with family in order to keep costs down during the holiday season, we know that isn't always realistic or feasible for everyone. Luckily, there are lots of hotel and home rental apps that can not only help you find somewhere to stay, but can do it for extremely reasonable costs, depending on what you're looking for of course.

From traditional hotel rooms to flat and apartment rentals, we've hand picked the best in each category for you.

Best car rental apps for iPhone

If you're flying somewhere this holiday season, you're most likely going to need a car to get you around when you get to your destination. Nothing's worse than feeling like you're stuck in one place for your holiday vacation. Taxi rental apps are all the rage nowadays and provide rides in just a few minutes. If that isn't enough, rental car services now have apps that make booking your next car painless.

Whether you just need rides here and there or want a car at your disposal for your entire trip, we have the apps to get you exactly what you need.

Best airport companion apps for iPhone

If you're flying somewhere this holiday season, or have relatives flying in from other areas, tracking flights and navigating busy airports doesn't have to be a huge headache. From apps to help you track flights to apps that can help you find an airline lounge to put your feet up, there are definitely apps for that.

No matter what your needs are, these are the iPhone apps you definitely shouldn't head to the airport without.

Best streaming music apps for iPhone

If you have a long drive or plane ride ahead of you, music is a must for most of us. While you can of course buy all your music from iTunes, streaming services have become quite popular and let you load up on a lot of music for a set price. Depending on how you're traveling, one may be better suited for you than another. That's why we've taken the time to point out the differences and give recommendations based on what services are best for different kinds of uses.

For endless music while in a car, waiting in an airport, or on a long flight, check out our collection of streaming services to see which one is right for you.

Best iPhone and iPad apps for traveling with kids

Traveling with kids can go many ways. It can either be easy or it can be a traumatizing experience for all involved. If you want to make sure you don't have the latter happen, there are lots of apps you can stock up on beforehand in order to keep younger kids entertained. The best part is that some of them don't require an internet connection so you can rest assured they'll function properly on a plane as well.

No matter how you're traveling this holiday season, we have a few recommendations that can provide hours of educational entertainment on the go.

Best turn-by-turn navigation apps for iPhone

If you have to drive this holiday season, you'll want to make sure you have navigation apps that cover the areas you'll be driving through. A lot of navigation apps can not only provide turn by turn navigation, but can also provide transit and walking directions too. However, depending on where you're traveling, some navigation apps may be better suited than others.

No matter what your directional needs are, we can help you find the perfect navigation app before you leave.
