Rent a car with navigation system - GPS

Getting lost in the great outdoors can be a stressful experience...

One of the most common questions that people ask when they are thinking of renting a car for their trip is the following: Do rental cars have a navigation system? Should I add a unit of GPS to my reservation? 

If you are travelling to Crete for the first time, you are going to get lost. This is a fact that is impossible to avoid. The combination of foreign language and foreign road signs and markings is simply too much to overcome for most people. With that in mind, a GPS can guide you in simple ways via your own language without too much trouble. It may not solve all of your problems, but it will solve enough of them to be worth looking into in nearly every case.  

However, if your phone does have a GPS service, simply check your wireless telecommunication company for updated maps or simply use Google maps !!

As well as directing your rental car, your GPS can recommend certain routes - advising you of the quickest, most direct path to saving time and gas costs. It can also guide you past landmarks if you prefer a scenic route.

GPS is able to alert you of upcoming traffic delays and suggest alternative routes. This feature is perfect to make sure no time is wasted on your trip.

Many units will also advise you on local speed restrictions and warn you when you are going too fast. The GPS will also notify you if there is a speed camera coming up, saving you from unexpected fines.
