About the Winner

This one helps YOU bust the recession. It's BestParking.com, which maps all parking facilities in metropolitan areas so you can instantly compare daily and monthly parking rates at participating lots and ultimately save big on your parking spend. So far, you can use the service in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. The company was founded in 2006 by Benjamin Sann (age 17 at the time) in response to an episode of Seinfeld in which George refuses to pay for a parking space. The number of visitors to BestParking.com has doubled during the 2008 recession even though parking operators have reported a 10% decline in sales revenue. BestParking.com is currently the only source to compare daily and monthly prices, check special deals and print coupons.
