Top dealers compete for your business by offering lower prices. TrueCar spends a lot of money and resources on making sure the entire car renting experience is simple and straightforward. If you’re in the market for a new car, give this site a try first.

TrueCar’s network checks many of the prices in your area and gets you the best price for the car you’re looking for.

It offers more control by allowing you to “build your car” and select your rental plan. The “build your car” option is one of the better options for those looking to add on features to their car. If you’re looking for cars with options like a sunroof or navigation (导航), it’s Carvoy that makes it very easy to get started with the process.

They have a large collection of new and used cars, and also provide resources for car comparisons. In the business for many years, they are one of the first online car outlets. They have a staff that can usually help you if you give them a call. Their phone support is very good and they are mostly located in the United States.

It delivers your rental car to the door, which is actually a huge selling point. Many people don’t like to go to a dealership or even drive somewhere to pick up a car. Imagine renting a car and having it delivered right to your doorstep, no driving necessary!

It offers member-only savings, many car selections and an easy sign-up process. The deals through Costco are great and unique. Many times they have deals with General Motors cars like Chevrolet. There are a lot of deals to be done, but the one thing that Costco does not do is negotiate the price.

Here’s a list of books I’m looking forward to reading this fall.

Home After Dark by David Small

In 2009, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir (回忆录) called “Stitches”. Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking images. It is published by Liveright. On Sept 11 at 3 pm, Small will be at Amazon Books at Union Market.

Waiting for Eden by Ellion Ackerman

This brief novel, which is published by Knopf, is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier writers of his generation.

All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung

Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian-American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. It is published by Catapult.

Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver

Alternating between past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a late-19^th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy (公开争论) over Darwinism. Like her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. This book comes from the publishing house named Harper.
