Car Rentals Now Offer GPS Units
Not all vehicles come equipped with a GPS unit as standard. However, most car rental companies offer GPS rental units. The average GPS unit, equipped with speech capabilities, will cost around seven dollars per day.It isn"t unusual for companies to have rented out all of their GPS units, so be sure to ask for one when you make your reservation. Some companies may try to stick you with an outdated GPS model that has a much slower processor and outdated mapping software than the newer models. Make certain to specify that you"d like a newer unit with the latest features.
And don"t worry about learning to use the device. They"re simple and intuitive and the average new units are voice activated. Just ask your friendly GPS device for directions and it will respond with a voice prompt feature that actually mentions street names and distances to streets. For example, your unit might prompt you to "Turn right on Main Street in 500 feet."
You know how valuable your time is, whether taking a vacation or a business trip. So don"t miss out on this simple way to ensure efficient, safe traveling, while avoiding the hassle and frustration of getting lost. Make renting a GPS unit a regular part of your car rental routine.
