While it is important to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road when driving, there are some phone apps available that can make your drive easier. Here are some of the most helpful.

Gas Buddy

This app will help you find the cheapest gas. All you need to do is enter in the city or zip code where you are driving and it will pull up a list of local gas stations with the prices. If you post cheap gas prices on the app you can even win prizes. It will also tell you how many miles away the stations are and you can get directions.

Waze

This popular app helps you to find out what is going on out on the road. You can get access to current traffic conditions, maps, and live routing. This app comes in handy when you need to change your route unexpectedly or you want to find out where your Facebook friends are headed. Voice assisted navigation helps direct you so you can keep your eyes on the road.

SpotHero

If you have ever driven to an event in the city and spent a good part of your day looking for a parking spot, then SpotHero will help. Use this to find open parking spots, reserve it, and pay for it ahead of time so you can park hassle free.

There are many apps available to make any kind of trip better. Whether you need directions, cheap gas or help navigating a new place, there is an app for it.
