Car Hire with GPS included in numerous destinations

Travelling without a GPS device nowadays is hard to imagine. Yet, not all rental cars come with one. Of course, you can always book it separately, which will cost you slightly more than originally planned. Many customers nowadays expect rental cars to automatically come with a preinstalled GPS device. As previously mentioned this is not always the case. Due to this, to avoid disappointment we highly recommend you book a car hire with a GPS included. Specific to selected destinations and suppliers, opting for a GPS included during the booking process will give you the peace-of-mind that you will definitely have a GPS during your car hire.

Some customers opt for using their mobile phones navigational app instead. Although the likes of Google Maps and Waze are useful and convenient, there are some draw-backs to using these over a built in vehicle GPS device. Most car hire companies provide the option to add a GPS to your booking at a minimal cost. Unfortunately, some customers decide not to, due to higher cost implications on their overall rental. If you aren't a regular driver, or are driving in an unfamiliar area, a GPS device allows you to easily plan you road trip - ideal for long-distance driving or if trying to find a specific establishment. It is important to note that a built-in GPS device offers greater route guidance and planning, compared to mobile phone apps. Other great benefits to using a built-in device above an app are:

• No internet connection is required because the built in GPS uses its own internal GPS receiver.
• By using the built-in GPS instead you avoid roaming fees if abroad from using your mobile phones GPS app.
• Save your mobile phones battery by using the built-in GPS device instead.
• Most importantly, using your mobile phones to access its GPS app whilst driving is dangerous and illegal.

To find a supplier that provides a rate with a GPS device included, simply utilise the filters located above your search results in the rate comparison table. Click on 'Promotions' and tick 'GPS Included' from the drop-down menu. This will then filter all the results to those suppliers that offer GPS included in their rates. In addition, a green banner above the rental rate also displays promotional offers associated to that booking. Simply look for the green banner with the wording GPS included to be assured you're receiving a car hire rate with a GPS. Auto Europe recommends a built-in GPS device for all the aforementioned reasons and your safety whilst on the road.
