MAKE MONEY RENTING OUT YOUR CAR AND SPOUSE WHILE YOU TRAVEL

A number of new peer-to-peer carsharing services help travelers avoid expensive airport parking fees by renting out their cars to other travelers while they're gone. 

But a new startup called BRideshare takes that one step further, renting out the car owner's spouse along with the vehicle. In exchange, the car owner receives a free tank of gas, a car wash, complimentary STD testing and a few bucks in his or her pocket. 

Fifi Scudder, who told Parksplug reporter Fetch Lumbke that her husband Porter is  frequently out of town, says she and her Mazda make about $400 a month from their BRideshare rentals. "Porter doesn't know, so please be discreet," she pleaded.  Parksplug complied by slightly blurring the photograph of Scudder with traveling salesman and renter Boutros-Boutros Scrivner.
