Re: Sat Nat/GPS

Re: Sat Nat/GPS

Flying home tomorrow and only booked last week so there were none of the usual uber bargains on the broker site I always use. Generally I get an SUV / softroader but this time I have....... a mini....

Re: Sat Nat/GPS

Had one of them last time. Quite impressed as usually i'm not a fan of Nissans.

TBH even if it didn't have satnav and I didn't have my phone I would never hire one at the 25 odd quid a day they...

Re: Sat Nat/GPS

Yeah, the majority do now, although I have had a few that don't and the hire car folks will tell you you're not allowed to use the one one on your phone which is BS.

Re: Sat Nat/GPS

I like Waze and TBH have no problem using Google Maps either....

Don't see the need for a standalone GPS.

Most cars have them built in now anyway..... well unless you go for the cheapest hire...

Re: Sat Nat/GPS

Buy a sim when you're there for 10 - 25 quid. Something like 5 - 15Gb.

Re: Sat Nat/GPS

Agreed. Get a 20 GBP sim in arrivals, it'll have a data package.
