Are There Any "Apps" For This Guest Situation?

Had a guest at a honeymoon cabin in the smokies notify me this morning that their boyfriend/husband just abandoned her on the trip. I didn't get into to many personal details since its not my business, but the crux of it was they needed to get 35 minutes into the major town to get a car rental before they closed at 12pm (and its closed on Sunday.) I tried handling the situation like I would if I was on a beach drinking my morning coffee. I had them check uber/lyft (no drivers), had them ask the car rental company for a ride (can't do it), call a local taxi (phone has been disconnected), called the cleaner (I'm doing a cleaning), called handyman (I'm with my kids at football practice.) Sure, it's not in theory my problem that they are in, but I need this person out of my property tomorrow morning. I have a new 7 day reservation checking in tomorrow at 4pm. So I ended up doing it myself. Just curious if I forgot of any "apps" that could have fixed this for me?

 If you were local and had time then it made sense to help them get out.


It is usually the right thing to do to help someone out.
